Stories from Vishen Lakhiani’s students

I want to tell you what happened between those two sentences. Because somewhere inside this story is the reason you are reading it. Before Mindvalley. I was a founder with a burning conviction and no vocabulary for it. I knew - as a father, as a builder, as a human watching the world lose its ability to concentrate…

I had 17 years of experience. Turns out, some of it was the firm's. I walked into Entrepreneurship Mastery thinking I had a head start. Seventeen years at Goldman Sachs, Executive Director, four countries, two continents, three different functions. The last five years I was doing something that looked a lot like…

# From a YouTube Video to 244 KRs: My OKR Journey In 2023, I watched a YouTube video of Vishen explaining OKRs. Something clicked. I run Avana - a medical devices company in Chennai with 35 people. I had goals. I had spreadsheets. I had review meetings. But I didn't have *alignment*. I implemented OKRs the very next…

A year ago I didn't know what to write in my Mastery profile. I wrote: Mom. I have been a Mindvalley member since 2018. I love the "soul" and parenting content for personal development, working on myself to better support our kids. When I saw the Entrepreneurship Mastery Summit, my whole identity and creativity had…

For nearly 30 years, I have been an entrepreneur. I co-founded and built a large healthcare business across the United Kingdom into a successful £100 million-plus company. From the outside, I could clearly call myself a successful entrepreneur. Before Entrepreneurship Mastery, I was beginning to think about exit…

Before this program, with my MBA as a base, I was working hard; but I didn't have any good actual life stories from a CEO or Founder perspective to draw from for navigating all aspects of the business. And while I have led system implementation teams, I was completely reliant on technical people to do the work for me…

I just got out of a meeting with my finance person, and I'm honestly still shocked. After what I learned at Mindvalley U, I completely restructured my business. I basically cut our marketing spend by half - and we still grew. This month, we're up 300% in sales . I learned so much, and it was mostly from Vishen's talk…

Before this Mastery, I was a founder full of vision but stuck in the waiting room of my own company, waiting on developers, waiting on the "right moment," waiting on someone else to translate my ideas into product. I knew where I wanted to go; I just couldn't move at the speed of my own thinking. Then, thanks to Vishen…

My Mindvalley Journey: February 2023 - April 2026 It started quietly. A few short courses. 3MIQ. 6-Phase Meditation. Be Extraordinary. Vishen's books on the nightstand. I wasn't looking for a breakthrough. I was a 34-year pipe organ builder with a company that worked, a life that functioned, and a persistent sense that…

I had a mission. What I didn't have was the courage to call myself an entrepreneur. Not long ago, I was an AI skeptic. Alarmed. Frustrated. Watching artificial intelligence upend everything I had come to know about work, leadership, and life. I had spent more than two decades building a distinguished career…

I almost didn't do it. I want to start there, because that's the honest part. Before I joined Entrepreneurial Mastery, I sat at my kitchen and stared at my numbers until they blurred. The math wasn't mathing. My credit limit was $3,000, and even that money already had somewhere to be. But something in me wouldn't let…

Before Entrepreneurship Mastery, I was drowning in questions I couldn't answer. "Who am I to be an entrepreneur?" "Will I ever earn from my own business? "What if I have to go back to corporate?" My partner and I had built a small coaching and consulting practice in Romania. We had heart. We had experience. What we…
