At that time okay you can you do whatever you want and what makes helps me travel then I like to explore places I like to meet people this is the thing which I am it has kept me working in the travel industry and then like I will tell you afterward but this was something my background you can see my journey

Which brought me to this travel industry so that’s why I’m very happy about whatever right now I am okay before I go on to the next question for everybody including Sachin Ji I’m sorry I’m looking to the side again and again because I’m just managing the comments also that are coming in so we have promised people once again that uh if you uh just authorize yourself at uh chat dot restream dot io forward slash

Using some software and neither am I very software literate nor is such indie so we are just kind of managing multiple roles here okay so now next question I want to just share a small experience mike can I share it absolutely the show is all yourselves I want to tell you why because it was my first experience in 2013 after my job and all

And I was very much happy you know that was the first time I was traveling by plane I had booked my Manali trip you know and uh while going I was uh catching the august 201 which was reaching in Delhi next day and then while coming I was I had to book flights you know that was the first experiment I was very much happy you know flights

Or something like that and I was standing there and you know I always foreign what so it was like a very memorable trick you know foreign manuscript so it was very beautiful so that was one of my most beautiful

The trip so people are saying fantastic story you know nice to hear that etc like in I must tell you uh later quiz elena padega all of these stories are going to tie into you know tie into the finale a lot of these stories have had a major impression on his life so before we go into that finale let me ask you the other questions okay what was how are you like before the lockdown or

Before you met us you know the starter fat community and all how was the progression of your travel business and uh how was it going uh yes, to be frank, I was very much excited you know when I there are people who are coming with me to travel so when I thought this I thought okay I could help a lot of people but, to be frank when I came

Uh four years back so I could see that there was a lot of competition you know it was not so easy even though I had a good concept you know that that may not work but I started I kept my way and I got business through references mostly references business and I was local guys so local medication I had somehow I thought that you know I should start

And now people can easily agree because everything is now digitized even very easily and a lot of people can see but that might not be the case some years back so I knew that if I want to build a good business or if I want to help the people if I want to help the good community convert it you know because I don’t know what was the reason why but or maybe I might not be well professional I might be professional in travel but I might

Not be professional in uh knowing people keep what they actually wanted so it was not so easy we’re trying to tell you but yes I was managing the business was there for me but I wanted to make it a little bit in the big time simply because I wanted to reach a lot of people and I wanted to help them to know okay what actual travel is

Travel is not about only just clicking selfies and posting it on every you know that’s okay that’s good that should be done no I don’t want to check him back but at the same time you should know the time so this is some of the things I was very much interested in exploring new places so I wanted to explore that things and in this way

My business was like okay kicked again not too bad I’m sorry not too bad and not too good also it was going what I feature okay now what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna ask Sachin Ji some more difficult question before that I just want to remind you for the people who want their comments

And probably a business link or something featured is more than welcome uh just authorize your display name at chat dot restream dot io forward slash FB while you do that I’m just gonna play a quick travel video uh this travel video is actually some of the snippets of my travel video plus some snippets from uh from periapt so that you get some time to actually authorize yourself for some people we are not able

To see the names and everything and if you don’t see your name then how will your you know business link get featured so chat restream for uh dot io for slash FB uh just I’m gonna give you a couple of minutes while I play this video and then we will join you and then we’re gonna get the seat is gonna get hotter more and more difficult questions are coming so just hang on

Bye [Music] oh bye all right we are back just for the people who don’t know you can join the parietal community at the link given here facebook.com for slash groups forward slash attack and Sachin Ji has got something very special for the people who stay till the end he just said hey you know I’m a lot of people

Are going to be spending their Saturday night with us I want to give them something and I said that is interesting yeah that is interesting I thought he wanted to give me something but then he said no I want to give heard something so hang on till the end join the pareto community at facebook.com for slash groups for party attack now difficult question Sachin Ji for you is during the lockdown you decided to go

Digital my question is when all kinds of education and coaching businesses are going digital becoming a success very easy and very simple because the coaching is already there the students are already there you just have to connect zoom between the students and the teacher and then you’re good to go right so you it’s very easy to take an educational business online but why is it very important guys so if you’ve been

Watching you know carefully now you’ll probably be able to guess some of the things that will tie together why is it that instead of taking your coaching business you know uh pan India using maybe zoom or whatever why is it that you chose to focus on travel which is pretty much most people would think that it’s you know pretty much a dead industry during the lockdown, especially at that time when we first met right it was pretty

Much you know that people who just didn’t they still had the uh what do you call tolerance and sense okay we won’t travel for six months eight months at that time it must have been even more difficult decision to go into travel because people are just not willing to go so why is it that you focus on taking travel online rather than taking education online see first of all uh

Coaching what I’m doing okay it’s for my earning okay it’s really for my earning and that’s a good thing for me but travel is something that I’ve told that’s my passion I have I’ve heard from there now and I also think you know that work for your passion so right now uh I’m working out a passion

I don’t have to think anything else here even I don’t think about the incomes and all in this case because I know that uh obviously there are a lot of people may travel I have sensed or I have seen a lot of people okay there are things where people are traveling but they are not getting that exact essence of travel you know and I have seen a lot of smiles

When I travel I have met a lot of people where are you from wherever you’re from so this is in like uh I was in Oman and uh there what happened while returning from uh I was just in the immigration uh immigration a couple was there in front of me and they

I was amazed to listen to no the costume you need in travel that these people are not getting okay and I thought that somewhere on the line there will be a logo I should at least in some way or the other I don’t know how at that time I didn’t know okay right now we to them saying that you know these are the things you know which made me come into travel and that was the main

The reason at the same time so I’ve seen one question also like which industry shall entrepreneurs target you have decent income so see some people might say like oh you become a doctor or an engineer like that because there is a lot of money there doctors are engineers they are running low and they are not running also maybe that might be different reasons no because I don’t

Know so same thing with me also I knew that this is the industry where I can uh work I can earn at the time at the same time I can enjoy life [Music] the reaching point was not that much you know I could reach a particular segment of people but here I have a lot of the whole world where I can reach the people and so

The one thing is that no I I’ve had a lot of friends you know I was in Oman one night in our friends I’ve been Thailand however he will greet me like anything you know or even if he comes home I will greet him like anything so this is the thing you know that that made me uh to come into this business and I’m there in the I will be there in this industry for a long time

That’s my story regarding why I choose this Amar is commenting that it’s amazing to see and hear you and see that motivation of helping people at the ground level so to expand on that I would like to ask you what is it that makes you different in the travel business because there are big companies also they’re established travel agents probably many years older than you

You’re probably a new person you’re a couple of years old and then you said during the lockdown I want to take this instead of saying okay yeah okay your business you know the business is done you put more energy into it so what is it that makes you from a consumer standpoint apart I know that you have passion and everything but what is it that a consumer gets from you that they make the decision that

No, I have to go with Sachin yes first of all I would like to tell you enough because again I have been learning I have been a good learner than a good teacher I’m a booster still at this age also I feel that I should do so uh what makes me unique or something like that so it’s me casein as a consumer

Point of view just that’s what that’s the thing you know if you think that budget is a problem I was also thinking you know that cost training should be done but then I have seen you know they have they’ll never bargain with me no they’ve never bargained with me they’re direct yes

One of my clients he directly so I don’t want to just put in my head that when a successful peer it’s a very small thing but that’s what uh I think you know that I was thinking about it but then once they think you know that this person is good now I think they will uh rely on you so what makes me unique you know especially

As a more than motivation is the fears and fears will be like people won’t give up I think I’ve seen some comments like someone say asking about the budget or something like that, yes and I will say 80 to 90 percent will still people will think about the budget only although they might have money okay what they will think about the budget and why you know that’s the reason

So I used to make the plan and they used if you and they were not answering me you know so these are some of the fears which can happen with everyone and last but not least from February if you do a booking okay and if something happens you know we can guarantee you that your money will be held okay either through point system or we have some different results or you can book it for some other trip also in the future also in coming months also that’s the uniqueness the thing is that right now that there is no guarantee so these are some of the things which

Which makes us unique you know and that’s why from a consumer point of view or from a traveler point of view or to the frank I have seen these things know many is a bit higher and that’s why I want to focus much on all these points that’s what we are we are here as a period amazing so you have wherever you send people you have solid local ground

Support and then in a time like this you’re giving a guarantee nobody’s giving a guarantee the other day my family made somebody cancel their flight out of 10 000 rupees they got like 450 rupees back flights okay awesome let’s go to the next one, okay so what you’re saying is

Solid local support and uh end-to-end logistics planning and then you have the pareto guarantee that’s amazing that’s a good point so once again if you’re interested guys you need to follow sashimi’s community you can contact him over there he is the life you’re living in your community almost four or five times you’re pushing videos responding to comments questions and everything right so the link is facebook.com forward slash groups

Forward slash yeah okay uh so uh what has what have you changed in your business model after uh you kind of came in contact with the Startup Frat community okay so as I told you before stand up right now uh I was looking for an I was exploring as I was exploring places i

Was also exploring for my business because I knew and I was uh firm in my thinking that you know future will be like it will be like uh digital you know beat any business eat any business so uh how first of all I would like to tell you how I came into stand-up freed you to know that that’s very interesting you know because the thing is that you know what people

Are doing right yes [Laughter] might think that you are not interested in this video so I used to regularly comment where am I still my best studios first thing and the second thing I still remember that and one of them has helped me a lot you know one was that lynchpin

Model and one is the mind-muscle no what is the mind-muscle or I’m not going to tell you to watch that video but the thing is that you know the business we have to market you know but we have to get mindset so mindset and that helped me a lot and when I started this journey six months back you know I was like you know laptops that’s it the digital space at least 10 20 percent maybe what expert working 20 percent not more than that but I’ve been expert in that and I can very fast do some of the works which I couldn’t do

Because of that mind-muscle video, you know that so that’s something it has changed me a lot through this all right guys so a lot of people are asking I am going to have you wait five-seven more minutes, uh you know while we complete our discussion a lot of people are asking I am in the travel business what would you advise

And uh somebody saying how do we do a currency exchange with Dianna saying I’m myself a travel consultant now uh Viraj is saying I just shared your link to my Facebook page thank you very much Biraj if you can put your own business link in the comments we’ll be more than happy to share it on screen for you my friend and

Let me just go through a quick one uh jyotimo is asking we’ll just come to these questions in just a second how to balance quality of travel with cost during the slowdown I’ll just hold that question for just a second and for the travel consultant so people who are asking uh you know how yeah I’m a travel consultant how do I follow you know how do I kind of replicate some of your success so I have such India as a very

Special gift for everybody towards the end but just to give perspective just to give value because uh people are uh spending time with us on a Saturday nightlife so we don’t want to hold back a lot we just want to give it upfront what are the two or three elements of the start-up right program that kind of helped you uh make the change I know you’ve touched on that a couple of times but those team points if you were to just say in a point shooter

Format what would you recommend to other people who are probably also in the travel business okay fine see uh as such now uh we prank first of all I believe no that everyone should have a mentor okay that’s the first thing why because you know because there are some things, uh I’ve so I would love to know

Foreign one thing is very simple now I follow I blindly follow a person who can help me and who is generally interested in helping me and Mr. Rajat is from I really like to thank him from the bottom of my heart you know that he has really helped me you know in this case I don’t think so they could be me

Interesting that’s the one thing that’s that is not going to happen people are not going to come okay reference it because they trust you that’s the only reason but if you want new customers if you want new people okay then definitely you have to think in some way or the other way okay and I can say the Americans are very much ahead of us okay

So mostly India is like a most of a consumer then like an innovator, okay you know we will not try to do our own innovation you know so this is a system you may have system follow me I know it’s a very new system uh sometimes it works for me sometimes it doesn’t work for me also but I’m not worried about that thing so you know because as long as I’m going to work I’m going to

Know it’s going to work sometime or the other example foreign anything it will grow fast and you know how much tall the bamboo trees are and the reason for that you know what’s the reason for that why it takes so many years not just it takes four-five years

Things they are doing the other basics if you do the basics I will definitely know that one day or the other I don’t know it might be within six months one month one year or so yeah but I know that with this model you know I’m guaranteed I have that convincing conviction with me know that it’s going to work for me and again once again thanks to Rajat for helping me with this lean Startup model

And the funnels which we are working on thank you, Sachin Ji, before I go ahead and announce the gift that Sachin Ji has for all of us, uh I’d just like to quickly uh just have uh Viraj is saying thank you, uh his Facebook link over here is facebook.com forward slash media knowledge for you he’s into digital media solutions thank you very much Viraj for your great

Comments today um we have uh give me one second we have Vidyananda I hope you got your answers and Sachin Ji has got something coming for other people who may be in the same industry who may be facing an issue that the industry is going to slow down everybody says yeah when it is said that when everybody is thinking the same thing no one is really thinking right so you can about us on a market is slow

That my industry is dead it’s easy to say right but as Sachin Ji has just said that if you look deeper you apply some of the ninja level techniques that he has applied you know then okay so for people who are into the business who would like to learn from Sachin how he did this, uh he has been giving us a lot of his time he has been coming to the 6 am club and talking to us so if you are a hangout member access to 6 am club is free for you just go around and watch

Some of the recordings are mind-numbing uh learning he has given us especially the last two or three days he has taken the time out we had asked him for 30 minutes of time he’s been happy to give us 60 minutes so he has some more time budgeted for you guys I’m just going to announce that in just a second and if you’re a consumer you want to travel with a guarantee that you’ll have you know payback against cancellation that you’ll have solid

Ground support and then end to end wherever you want to go in India from the time you get out of your doorstep till the time you come back to the doorstep if you want somebody to take a responsibility that you are with us we are responsible for you then you can uh contact Pariatac you already have the link that’s showing fb.com for slash groups and now I have a very special gift that Sachin Ji has announced if you want

Consultations totally free uh at bit dot leaf slash me consultation okay it’s bit dot lee forward slash me consultation so if you are a business owner who wants to learn how Sachin was able to scale his business in a time and get consistent six-figure play paying clients okay now one of the little things that we haven’t spoken about today because we are in a rush for time is that Sachin actually put the money that he was planning to set up for an office he chose to save

That money he went out uh took a leap of faith did not set up an office use that money to advertise his business and use an inversion funnel technique which is something that if you want to ask him you can book a free consultation with him that’s bit dot leaf slash me a consultation and if you are an individual traveler uh you have these external fears that are preventing you from travel if you have the internal fears that are preventing you from

Travel if you want to understand what should I do Sachin Ji how you know you know I would like to take my family out uh but I have these fears I cannot trust anyone I cannot it’s a safety issue if you want to get some perspectives from Sachin, uh you know he’s an expert in the travel business now he’s getting business from all over India from people that have never met him face to face that people that he had never known in the past yeah the people

Are those the kind of people that are trusting him to go all over India and send their closest family all over India because they say hey man it’s been too long we do want our kids to just take a breather you know just go outside just get some family time so if you’re a traveler or if you are a travel agency if you want to know how to travel safely how to get your guarantees how to have somebody underwrite you the guarantee or if you’re a travel agency

We have got a time although see yes it’s not going to be lasting long any excellent maybe like three months six months something like that you know but this is going to get over by some time I don’t know I cannot predict I’m not expecting that okay but the thing is that nothing like that you know there are
