When I was 10, I already knew I wanted to be independent, I wanted to be rich, and I wanted to build something of my own.

This might be a trend today, but I used to dream of having millions in my account ever since I was a kid. I wanted my own home, my own money, and enough wealth to never rely on anyone.

I grew up hearing that, as a woman, you need to find a partner and build a family. But for me, success always meant being enough for myself and having something of my own.

I’m 30 now, and I still want the same thing. Except now, my dreams have gotten bigger, and so have my goals.

I started freelancing at 18 because I genuinely liked writing. Social media marketing came into my life in 2020 when someone noticed my content and asked me to manage her account. She was from Canada and taught me so much about social media management.

I never got into social media marketing because I thought it was easy money. I got into it because I realised I had a knack for it. I was naturally good at it and genuinely enjoyed the creative part.

And yes, I want to make money too. I want to be successful, build something bigger and live a comfortable life where all those years of figuring things out and building feel worth it.

Someday, I want to see a number like this in my bank account. I just call it believing in myself. I know I’ll get there.

But I don’t want to use money as a marketing trick to get there.

I’ve earned lakhs in a month. I could keep talking about that and say, ā€œI did it, so you can too.ā€ But I won’t. I cannot promise that I’ll replicate the same result for you.

I’ll give it my thousand percent, set realistic goals and be honest about what I think is possible. But I cannot guarantee a particular number, a viral reel, a six-figure business or a specific result. No one can.

So yes, I want that number. I want to see it in my bank account someday. I don’t know when, but I believe I will.

When I finally see it, I don’t know if I’ll announce it. But I know I’ll be proud of myself.

Until then, I’m still building.

If you’re looking for an honest social media marketer who will give you realistic goals and care about your brand.

DM "SOCIALS" to get started.

One thing I’ve realised as an entrepreneur is that I overthink A LOT.

You’re constantly thinking about your work, your money, your next move, whether you’re doing enough, what people think, what happens next…

And from the outside, people don’t always understand it.

Doing something on your own isn’t easy. Believing in yourself when no one else does isn’t easy. Being there for yourself when things don’t work out isn’t easy.

But I’ve also realised that I can’t control everything.

So I’m trying to focus on what I actually can.

My thoughts. I can’t control every thought that enters my head, but I can choose which ones I keep feeding.

My actions. I can decide what I do next, even when I don’t know what the result will be.

Where I give my energy. I can stop spending all of it on things, people and situations that don’t deserve it.

The goals I set. My goals don’t have to look like anyone else’s. My timeline doesn’t either.

How I speak to myself. I can make mistakes without constantly putting myself down.

How I spend my free time. I can rest, create, read, go out or do nothing. Everything doesn’t have to be productive.

How I handle challenges. I can’t decide what happens, but I can decide how I respond to it.

My boundaries. I can say no, walk away and decide what I will and won’t accept.

And then there are things I simply cannot control.

Other people’s opinions. I can listen, but I can’t make everyone like me.

What happens around me. I can prepare, but unexpected things will still happen.

The outcome of my efforts. I can control how much I put in. I can’t guarantee what comes out of it.

The past. I can learn from it, but I can’t go back and change it.

The actions of others. I can communicate and set boundaries, but I can’t control another person’s choices.

The future. I can plan for it, but I don’t get to decide exactly how it unfolds.

What others think of me. I could spend my entire life trying to figure that out and still never know.

And maybe that’s the reminder I need most:

I don’t have to control everything.

I just need to take care of what’s in my hands and learn to let go of what isn't!

I’ve always had this slightly inconvenient habit of believing that my life could be more.

More than what I had. More than what people expected. More than what seemed realistic at the time.

Maybe that’s delusion. Maybe that’s confidence. I don’t know.

The fact that I call myself The Dreamy Lass is because I’ve always been that dreamy kid, living in her own little dreamland. Daydreaming. Getting zoned out. Being told, ā€œYou live in your own la-la land.ā€

It used to feel like an insult. Now I think… maybe that little la-la land was onto something.

I’ve always believed I could build a life that looked different from what people expected. I’ve always known I wanted to be independent. To make my own rules. To choose my own path. To build something that was mine.

Not because I want to prove everyone wrong. I just genuinely believe I know what I want.

Someone once told me, ā€œDelusion is just another name for confidence.ā€ And honestly, I kind of believe it.

Because maybe I’m wrong. Maybe some things I believe so wholeheartedly won’t happen exactly the way I imagine them. Maybe a dream will shatter. Maybe I’ll have to find a new one.

But isn’t that what dreaming is?

Being willing to believe in something before there is proof.

I want to build my own empire. Not just an agency. Not just a brand. A life that feels like mine. At my pace. In my own way.

There are days when my budget is so tight I have to think twice before ordering food. Days when I wonder how everything will work out.

And somehow, even then, a part of me still believes that one day I’ll look back at this version of myself and think, ā€œYou really had no idea how far you were going to go.ā€

Maybe that sounds delusional.

Good.

I’d rather have a little blind optimism than give up on myself because the evidence isn’t here yet.

I’m wise enough to know when to stop. Naive enough to dream again. Stubborn enough to keep going.

And if that makes me delusional, so be it.

I’ll keep living in my little la-la land.

I’ll keep dreaming.
I’ll keep building.
I’ll keep becoming.

Maybe one day, reality will have no choice but to catch up.

Keep dreaming with the Dreamy Lass. ā™”

Before you attack me for saying manifestation doesn’t work, let me tell you one thing: it actually doesn’t.

Just manifesting things never works, okay?

Manifestation is just another name for tricking your brain into thinking something positive. And you know what? That is what you are doing when you’re manifesting things. Writing things down, repeating something to yourself again and again and again.

Do you believe what you believe because you’ve heard it enough times, seen it enough times, experienced it enough times, or said it to yourself enough times?

That’s what manifestation is all about. Positive thinking. Developing a positive attitude. And that’s great.

You know, I manifest things too. I write things down, and I am working towards things that I want to achieve. And it’s great that I am working towards it, but that’s all it is.

I also have to do the work.

I can’t just sit and write and believe that, yeah, this will happen.

So all those reels claiming that, ā€œHey, claim it by just saying this to yourselfā€ or ā€œComment this and it will happenā€ā€¦ bro, you’re just getting engagement. You’re giving engagement to those people who are creating those reels.

As a social media manager, I would say, great strategy.

But as a person who’s seeing those reels, as a viewer, I know that this is just stupid. Okay?

I understand that you tend to like such posts. It’s okay. But don’t believe blindly in things like that, that, yeah, you will just manifest and things will happen.

I’ve actually had people tell me that manifestation works.

Bro, it’s not just manifestation. It’s also putting in the effort that works. Moving into that direction works.

Just sitting there, not doing anything, and manifesting things doesn’t work.

We are not living in some fictional fairytale. We are living in the real world, and you gotta do the work.

So yeah, manifest on.

But don’t believe that that will magically work.

Manifest and then make it happen.

And tell people, ā€œYes, I manifested this. I worked hard towards it.ā€

Simple!

Some days, I’m the SMM whose own Instagram looks suspiciously abandoned. šŸ˜‚

But honestly? Running social media for a living doesn’t mean I want to be on social media 24/7.

Sometimes I’m busy planning, creating, scheduling, strategising, shooting, editing… for someone else’s brand.

And sometimes I’m just living my actual life.

So yes, my account goes quiet sometimes.

No, that doesn’t make me a bad SMM.

If anything, I think it makes me understand my clients better. Because I know firsthand that running a business comes with seasons where your own content has to take a backseat.

Your social media manager can be good at social media without being chronically online. šŸ¤



The funny thing about being an SMM is that sometimes your own account is the one you neglect. 😭

But honestly, I’d rather spend my time creating content that actually helps a business grow than obsessing over whether I posted today.

My Instagram can wait. My clients’ content calendar cannot. šŸ˜‚

In Between Being an Entrepreneur – Part 41

I like shiny things.

I love pretty and comfy outfits.

And there’s one thing I absolutely love when it comes to reels: making transitions.

I don’t even know what it is about a good transition, but it gives me an adrenaline rush. šŸ˜‚

Once I visualise it in my head, I NEED to make it.

Sometimes I don’t even need to see the transition somewhere first. I just imagine it, figure out how I want it to happen, and then somehow make it work.

There’s just something about that little change, that tiny bit of drama, that makes a reel so much more fun.

Or maybe I just like dressing up once in a while.

Because I’m actually a PJ girl at heart. šŸ˜‚ So me being in anything other than pyjamas feels like an event in itself.

Yeah, this was my little Onam morning moment. ✨

Maybe it’s getting to play dress-up for no particular reason. Maybe it’s seeing two completely different looks turn into one tiny reel.

Whatever it is, I always have fun making these.

It’s been a while since I made something like this just for myself.

Because between building brands, planning content and doing all the serious entrepreneur things, I think I’m allowed to just dress up, play with transitions and be me for a little while.

Now you tell me…

Are you the ā€œlet me recreate this transitionā€ person?

Or the ā€œI’ll watch yours, enjoy it, like it and leave a cute commentā€ person?

I really hope you’re the latter because, well… you know what to do. šŸ˜‚šŸ‘‡šŸ»

Well, ChatGPT isn’t wrong. šŸ˜‚

Money is clearly a motivation for me, and I’m pretty sure it is for you too.

But here’s the thing: making money isn’t that easy.

There’s no easy-money scheme. No shortcuts. You can want it badly, but building a business that actually makes money takes work. And a lot of time.

Maybe it works out in a year. Maybe six. Maybe ten. You really don’t know.

You need patience. You need dedication. You need direction. You need to know what you’re selling, who you’re selling it to, and honestly, you’re probably going to make a few mistakes along the way. That’s part of it.

And somewhere in all of that, marketing matters. A LOT.

If I knew what I know today when I started almost a decade ago, I’d probably be pitching to a completely different crowd and doing a lot of things differently.

But everyone starts somewhere.

I also spent years thinking I could do everything myself. Content, social media, strategy, client work… everything.

Eventually, I realised I couldn’t. And I didn’t have to.

Because marketing isn’t about having the biggest follower count. It’s about whether your business is actually moving forward.

Your social media is often the first place someone goes to figure out who you are, what you do, and whether they should trust you.

And yes, you need to invest in it.

Trying to do everything yourself because ā€œsocial media is easyā€ might work for a while. Until you’re exhausted, posting whenever you remember, and wondering why nobody is paying attention. 😭

That’s where Dreamt Media Socials comes in.

We help you build an online presence that actually represents your business, reaches the right people, and works towards realistic goals.

No promises of going viral. No overnight-success nonsense. We set goals, build a strategy, and work towards them together.

Because we treat your business like our business.

When you grow, we grow too. It’s a win-win.

We don’t overpromise. We just try to overdeliver.

Ready to take your social media seriously? DM ā€œSOCIALSā€ to get started.

ā€œI want to build a personal brand.ā€

I hear people say this so often.

But then comes the real question…

Why are you building a personal brand?

It’s a difficult question to answer, but let me give it a shot.

I don’t think it starts with posting more.

And I don’t think the reason should be to get famous, grow your business, or chase attention. I think all of those are just byproducts.

I think the real reason anyone should build a personal brand is for recognition.

Some of the most meaningful things in life grow quietly.

Confidence.
Healing.
Trust.
A personal brand.

Not because the world suddenly starts paying attention, but because you keep showing up, even when it doesn’t.

I think we’ve been measuring growth the wrong way all along.

I’d rather build something people remember than something everyone sees.

Every post, every conversation, every reply, every story leaves behind a feeling. And over time, those feelings become your brand.

That’s why I care less about chasing attention and more about creating recognition. I’d rather have 100 people who remember me than 100,000 who simply scroll past.

I think when you’re building a personal brand, it should reflect who you are, not just how you want to present yourself.

It should be an extension of you. A part of you that is real, raw, and something you genuinely want to put out into the world.

And I think that only happens when you stop taking yourself so seriously. When you stop trying to fake it because you think that’s what works.

Because when you’re building a personal brand, it should feel personal.

And how does anything feel personal?

By letting yourself be.

I want people to remember me as someone who’s multi-passionate and multi-talented. Someone who runs a social media agency, writes poetry, hosts a podcast, creates Canva tutorials, loves to sing, is unintentionally funny, does all kinds of quirky things, gets oddly invested in reality shows, randomly recommends brands and products she genuinely loves, and is quietly building something meaningful without changing who she is.

I want people to know you can try it all, still be sane, and find your own happiness… even if you’re an introverted, r
