Life runs too fast. And, if we catch the right path at the right time, life’s jackpot can be ours’.
Of course, life is all about risk. If one cannot take the risk, he cannot succeed. This is my opinion about life. You need time, you need effort and a little money.
No legal business can make you rich in a minute. It requires initial setup, resources, and a lot of learning. My life has seen many ups and downs, I feel upset sometimes; everyone does!.
People normally ask me, “Sapan, how can you be a businessman and entrepreneur both at a time?”. Why not?
I run a business on an existing idea, calculate the risks prior to making a decision, and don’t waste time. If I plan to work 5 hours a day, I do.
Nothing else can stop me from working during those business hours. My goal is to generate profits so I can give my family a luxury life.
However, I need to confess that the Internet is getting into my nerves. Thinking about new ideas, connecting with worldwide entrepreneurs, and helping beginners succeed makes me happy.
Whenever there’s spare time, I experiment seamlessly. Playing around with my blogs, reading the latest posts by bloggers, and participating in discussion boards make me an artist.

My First Successful Business
To be honest, I was not one of those bright students who ranked higher in academics. Going to the library, doing homework, and concentrating on the boring lectures was not my cup of tea.
During my higher education, I joined a group of video gamers. Spending hours playing made me crazy about new games. It continued for a few months and then I realized my pocket money was not enough.
Soon, I teamed up with my friends and started a mobile repair shop. Though it was not that successful, it made me understand the value of money.
One day, while chanting in the restaurant, we started to discuss the revenue the restaurant generated. And, this was the day, when I decided to open the one. LOL, this may sound crazy and it did!
My family and friends were not in favor of it, but my decision was stubborn. Within a week (Yes! A week!) I had my own family restaurant, with street’s best chefs and accompanying staff.
Of course, I convinced my father to fund my business.
And, within a few weeks, UNEXPECTED revenue counted on my cards. That was a great life changer.
I was able to return the money to dad in 3 months. Huh, wasn’t it amazing?
My Life Story
High revenue is sometimes an invitation to enemies. After a few years, my friend cheated on me and took away the entire restaurant business.
Since I didn’t prepare any legal documents, there was no proof that I was the only owner. Though I paid all the taxes on time, they were not enough.
The entire dealing was in cash! But did this stop me, not at all!
My mother and father were my BIG support. They made me understand the ups and downs everyone faces. After all, circumstances cannot remain the same. Time does change!
In 2001, I joined my father’s export business which he rarely looked after. It was about manufacturing and selling BRANDED garments worldwide.
Since then, I never looked back.
P.S. – You might have purchased an outfit with a “Made in India” label. Who knows it came from us 😉
My Internet Journey (SEO)
Now, this may sound funny! Until 2014, I was a novice with the internet. I never operated on the computer; no email address, no social accounts.
My entire business was offline. The people we had dealings with never demanded a website or an online identity.
Everything was operated through telephonic or face-to-face conversation. BUT BUT BUT… internet destiny was waiting for me… That was my WIFE (Nisha Garg), lol…
She is an internet addict! She breathes Google, she speaks Google and she dreams about Google.
The moment I ask her a question, Google answers are on the screen. Now, do you think she would have spared me from the internet habit? Never…. HA HA HA!
One day, she was super excited. I asked her what was it? She replied, “my highly competitive target keyword is finally on #1 position in Google.com“. I was super confused with a question, what the hell is it?
This was the day when she introduced me to terms like SEO, keywords, ranking, and organic traffic. Interesting it was!
Ever since I knew about the internet, I thought it was enough to put a page online. But I was wrong! It involves a lot of time, effort, and patience to make a profit.
With time, I read several blog posts by Neil Patel, Backlinko, Ahrefs, and Moz. Curiosity made its home in my soul.
And now, I write product reviews, create how-to tutorials, and offer some website services.
P.S. – I receive a credit for referring someone to a product in my reviews. I do not intend to promise or assure success. For any loss, you need to contact the product owner or their support team directly.
My Family
Family is everything to me. Without them, I feel nothing. I have the world’s best parents (so does every child thinks) and a loving wife (she’s my life).
We both love traveling, bowling and talking. We can talk for several hours whenever we can (to others and each other).
My wife is a crazy shopper. She can do the shopping for several hours for several days. I don’t know why I am writing this here, but I cannot stop myself from sharing her unknown passion, lol.
We both have been to Thailand (Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket), Bur Dubai, and Indonesia (Bali). The list of places to visit is too big though…
Family time is important to me. Though I keep business hours on priority, if required I am always there for them.
Currently working on?
I am working on creating multiple mini-courses on the Amazon affiliate program, YouTube, and review commissions. All these training courses focus on building your own online business.
