Nfinity: A 4 year journey of failure to making people fit
It almost feels like yesterday when I started my journey of starting this business from nothing.
Here's some context Linktree, Website, Instagram
Having no idea about what fitness and health really is I started manufacturing dumbbells in hope of making some money without a purpose vision or anything knowledge about the industry except some skipped classes from me studying mechanical engineering
A business sounds fun doesn't it, I used to think
It actually is when it works out I guess
But I still don't really know
Obviously it has it's ups and downs
But you never know until you are actually in it
And there's only one way to find out
Which I did
Figuring it out on the way
So I just jumped in with tons of support from everyone I knew
I had my share of lessons
And I really grew as a person in all of this
I still am
It's been 4 years of me trying to make it work
But it's an ongoing journey just like the important things in life
A business isn't a goal its an ongoing journey
A relationship isn't a goal it an ongoing journey
Good health isn't a goal it's a lifelong ongoing journey
The only way to live it fully is to love to play the game and keep learning
The game of health, wealth and relationships
But coming back to Nfinity
I failed a lot
Failing to make a good product to failing to get customers to failing to building trust to failing to make good relations to failing to give the payments to failing to keeping employees to failing to set the accounts right to failing to market the product to failing to talk to the customers to failing to receiving the payments to failing to every small thing that may be important and
I am still failing
But you know what Yoda said
"Failure is the best teacher"
And when we learn we grow
We stop making those same mistakes again and again
The vision starts to become clearer
While I still feel early in those slap and it may be a long way to go
It's important to not give up
Which I struggle almost daily with but still show up
Showing up with a mindset to make a change
To have a real purpose which I felt I discovered recently
One day my friend Mudit told me "You can't make this happen if it's not your problem"
The problem was health and fitness
It had to be my problem too
Until my health broke down from a simple throat infection
I had never been this sick
All things compounded me to start thinking of it as important
Since last 4 years I've been preaching to go to the gym, I started to go on and off just for the sake of it but I realised the real thing comes with time
The intrinsic motivation
Which is really potent
When you really want to make a change it comes from within
It isn't forced, just natural and takes a long time to fade
Your ass automatically jumps on the gun and makes that thing happen
I used to say this to everyone telling me to take gym seriously
[If a horse makes grass its friends, then what will it eat?]
Nonsense logic but it worked as a quick laugh resulting in me smoothly changing the topic to something else
But now is the time to change
I have manufactured this clarity and focus by sacrificing a lot of things close to me
It's an ongoing journey and the benefits will surely take some time to reap
But all I can do is work hard without thinking about what may be
And about trusting the process
For may Nfinity help each one of you reading this till here getting better at health
We'll see ya on the other side
