Here we go again...
Back to business. After a long break here is an update with all the stuff that went down so far in 2025.
Wassup?!
I hope you're doing good fam. It's been quite some while...
Almost one year no entry 😳 To be exact the last one was on October 18th '24. Damn.
How could that happen? 😱
Let me briefly summarize the past 12 months real quick:
Your boy started his first ever employed full-time job. That's what happened. 🤓
And Hustler-Sahil was and is still living = I swear I had no more time. Well, I had time but no calm mind to sit down and write a nice blog post like I used to.
Live today: I took a week off. I'm in Munich at my sisters place and restructuring everything in my life. My bday is coming up as well in September, so over all it is a good time to reflect and analyze things and life.
Okay. Let me break down which projects are on the table:
- Masala-Sahil: Spices & Cooking Classes
- Business_Sahil10 - my Insta Page which I'm basically using a a day2day journal.
- ICONIQ-MOTION: The newest project which will eventually get my a$$ back to self-employment #escapethematrix.
The full-time job is really killing my time. I'm working as a marketing manager in a companies-network and I gotta do 9h hours shifts and the commute takes me like 40 mins drive (5 times a week 🤯) = Almost 11 hours are gone.
This big time-killer is the reason why my life currently is completely unbalanced and I really was not in a vibe of stillness and focus in which I could write interesting articles.
More important: I'm writing these articles for myself and out of joy. I don't and won't use AI for these. Promise. This blog will be AI free and straight my own personal human wordings, texts, the whole thang.
Anyway. Below is the hot stuff. The important and current day2day situation:
Let's talk $
ICONIQ is my own marketing agency. B2B. That's where the money is. I build websites for businesses and manage their social media. Basically everything which helps companies and businesses to become visible online and improve their online presence.
At this very moment I'm looking for high end high paying clients. Target and goal: 5K for a website and at least 1K for Media Management. Gimme 2 website jobs and I'll quit my full-time job. Ciao.
That's the equation: Big money = Only few quality clients needed.
Masala-Sahil is going well. Booking of classes a lil low in summer. But overall some money coming in. The shop itself is not doing good tbh. The advertising is missing. Creating cooking content is hella time consuming. My plan is to switch the whole advertising into a lifestyle brand with a focus on indian cooking. But more an that in a different article.
So whats them vibez?
As I mentioned earlier I'm in Munich and the economy is strong over here. Means I will go to high end stores, boutiques, offices and offer my services. Stakes are pretty good I would say to close some clients. Keeping my fingers crossed! Imma keep you updated how the cold approach went.
There is much more to cover, but I will put all my thoughts in different articles with detailed focus and learnings and development.
That's it for now. Back in the game. Stay tuned. And keep grinding!
