You ever sit down, wondering why you’re even trying? Why you keep chasing this dream when everything around you screams, “Quit while you can”? I’ve been there. I’ve sat with those thoughts, late at night, questioning every decision. And if you’re in that place right now, I want you to know: you’re not alone.
Hey, I’m Jayesh, just another guy with a head full of dreams and a heart that’s been through hell and back. I’ve seen what failure looks like—felt its weight pressing down on my chest. But I’ve also seen the other side, the side that whispers, “This is why you didn’t give up.”
Let me take you through my journey. Not as some motivational speech, but as a conversation. Like we’re two friends, sitting over chai, sharing the real stuff.
Chapter 1: The Innocence of a First Dream
When I was 17, I jumped into my first business. No experience, no safety net, just pure, unfiltered excitement. And for a couple of months, I felt like I was on top of the world. But reality? It hit hard. Within 2.5 months, I had to shut it down. It felt like someone had punched me in the gut.
I remember sitting in my room, staring at the ceiling, thinking, Was this just a stupid dream? Should I just stop? But something inside me said, Not yet.
Chapter 2: Failing… Again
Fast forward a few years, I gave it another shot. This time, with a team—friends who believed in me. We poured our hearts into it, thinking, This has to work. But three months later, we were drowning in losses.
I remember the shame of facing my family, the guilt of dragging my friends into something that didn’t work out. It was like carrying a weight that just wouldn’t let up. But what can you do when the world says no? You stand back up. You try again.
Chapter 3: The Corporate Escape & Battle Within
After two failed businesses, I did what most people do—I got a job. Banking, to be precise. On the outside, it looked like I had my life together. A stable income, a respectable role. But inside? I felt like I was dying a little every day.
Every morning, I’d sit at my desk, thinking, This isn’t me. I’m meant for more. But you know what’s worse than failing? Feeling stuck in a job that feeds your wallet but starves your soul.
And yet, every step I took, every small success and failure along the way, was teaching me something. Slowly but surely, it was building me up for something bigger.
Chapter 4: The Comeback
The third time I ventured out, I was terrified. I had every reason to believe I’d fail again. But this time, I brought every lesson, every scar, every ounce of grit with me. I spent ₹25,000 on ads, knowing it could all go down the drain. But guess what? It didn’t.
In just a few months, I pulled in ₹8 lakhs in net profit. For the first time, I felt what success tasted like—not because of the money, but because I proved to myself that I could rise.
And yet, I’ll be honest with you: even that success didn’t come easy. It was built on sleepless nights, countless mistakes, and a stubborn refusal to quit.
Chapter 5: Lessons in Human Nature
You know what really changed the game for me? Understanding people. I dove deep into human behavior—why we think the way we do, why we make the choices we make. It helped me lead my team, connect with customers, and even understand my own fears.
The truth is, business isn’t just about strategies or numbers. It’s about people. It’s about connection. And when you get that, everything starts to shift.
Why Am I Here?
I’m sharing all this not to boast, but because I know how lonely this journey can feel. I’ve been there—in the trenches, where every day feels like a fight for survival. And if my story can help even one person believe in themselves again, it’s worth it.
This blog, Brand by Brain, is my way of saying, I’ve got your back. I’ll share the real stuff—what works, what doesn’t, and the mindset shifts that can turn your struggles into stepping stones.
So if you’re ready to stop just surviving and start thriving, let’s do this together. Because you’re not just building a business; you’re building a legacy.
