Are You Still Waiting for the Perfect Time?

Who Am I?

I am 15 and I study in the 11th grade. I am not some superhero kid; I am just like you, an ordinary kid. Not gifted, not a prodigy. Just a stubborn kid who refused the predictable script.
My parents scold me for reckless Wi-Fi use, not brushing my hair, and always being on the laptop. But curiosity hits harder than fear. That is why I begged, debated, and practically fought my way to join the Life Changing Training (LCT) offered by Sir Hisham Sarwar, Ma’am Alveena Ahmad, Ma’am Madiha Yaqoob, Ma’am Rabia Ahmad, and Team Innovista. Convincing my parents felt like pushing a bus uphill with a toothbrush.

Background:

Five years ago, when I was just 10, I first watched Sir Hisham Sarwar on the Digiskills freelancing course. I didn’t really understand freelancing at that moment, but a seed was planted within me (just a YouTube video and curiosity punching me in the brain). That seed has now flourished into a seedling, due to which I am here, working directly under his supervision. My progress is a result of the mercy of Allah Almighty, the unwavering support of my father, and Sir Hisham Sarwar’s guidance.

I interned at Innovista from the month of July 2025 to August 2025. It was there that I got the motivation to start and build my first little website with the help of my father, techopulse.com. It looked like a toddler learning to walk, cute, but needing improvement. However, it had a clear motive: to sell my services. I launched it anyway. Now, attending the LCT and with the continuous support of my parents, my site is slowly improving and fully established. Furthermore, LCT hit and started shifting things fast.

Before reading, a question for those who are still waiting:

What are you launching this week? or Are you waiting for the ‘perfect’ time?

Why I Traded Exams for Conversions?

I stand at a crossroads. While my classmates talk about exams, I am discussing client conversions and keyword cannibalism, along with AI Automation of daily tasks. The world of traditional education felt rigid, but I crave real-world power.

The LCT is not for the faint of heart. This isn’t some cozy “Sip Tea & Gain Knowledge” class. It’s mental push-ups.
Morning: 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM
Night: 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM

(Timings for night differ)

The schedule demands immense discipline. The initial 14 days have flown by, and the training has shown such an impact that it has been extended for two more weeks!

I attend school, I do my homework, and I continue working on my site. This discipline is now a fixed test of true dedication.

If I can find time for a double session, where does your time disappear? You just need to set your priorities right.

Convincing my parents? Nightmare. They still scold me for sitting at my laptop for long hours and having messy hair. They believe that education is more important. But I dragged my way in anyway. And now they reluctantly admit I wasn’t wasting my time… most days.

Communication: The Silent Weapon

Two days into LCT and my brain rebooted. My mind flipped. My biggest takeaway? Communication is the key to success.

Warren Buffett says a good communicator is worth 50% more.

Skill is just the engine; confidence is the fuel.

Sir Hisham’s words echoed: “Confidence is a prerequisite of communication.”

He was right. Clients don’t pay the most skilled kid; they pay the kid who sounds like he knows what he’s doing. So I changed:

1. “Sorry” replaced with certainty.

2. No “Sir Sir Sir” spam.

3. No shaky voice.

4. No robot paragraphs.

I fixed my speech. I stopped translating Urdu in my head. I replaced apologizing with assurance. I became simple. Clean. Short. Sharp. My sentences are tiny like bullets, not noodles. My shoulders straightened. My words stopped trembling. Fear shrank.

No translating Urdu in my head like a lost Google Translate extension.

Three Pillars of Communication

LCT taught me that powerful communication stands on three mighty pillars:

• Verbal: Speak with a confident, crisp tone.
• Non-Verbal: Your body language must sing a song of assurance.
• Written: Be polite, professional, and precise. No fluffy essays.

Your Proposal is Your Promise

Most freelancers fail in the first three seconds because they use robotic phrases: “Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to apply…” Clients hate walls of text. Kill it. Burn it. Bury the ashes. They seek a handshake.

Sir Hisham taught me to ditch the formality. I learned to try this instead:

“Hey Joshua, your UI/UX Design project caught my attention. I love the direction you are taking.”

Boom! Connection. Human to human. No corporate zombie energy. This is how a cold pitch melts into a warm conversation.

Digital Gold Mine: SEO & Digital War Tactics

LCT did not stop at soft skills. It dove deep into the digital trenches. I learned about SEO (real SEO, not fairy dust). We studied traffic volume and intent, and we covered keyword cannibalism.

We also learned that people buy stories because stories trigger an emotional response. Value addition must be in every tagline. The training taught me that Pinterest is perfect for affiliate marketing.

We also dove into WordPress mastery, treating it as the foundation for our digital authority, not just a simple platform. We did hands-on work to master it.

Simultaneously, we mastered the craft of blog writing for humans, not robots, focusing on emotional resonance and clear value. Most importantly, we grounded our approach to freelancing in psychology, not desperation, understanding buyer intent and human connection to build sustainable careers.

The New Reality: Ignition

This training demanded a growth mindset. “You are as big as you challenge yourself” is a quote that defines my progress. Success demands discipline. My network is my net worth.

Today, I stand taller. I speak louder. I think clearly. I am still young, but I am not small anymore. My voice has weight. My ideas have legs. My confidence has claws.

I was 15, facing an academic mountain and a digital ocean. LCT gave me a surfboard and a compass. This training was not just about skills; it was about shaping a sharper self.

This is not the end. This is an ignition.

Call it madness. Call it momentum. But I call it becoming a new version of myself.

The Future isn’t going to hand itself to me.
I’ll drag it, bite it, and carve it if I have to.

And trust me, I am just getting warmed up.
