From Uncertainty to a 10X Life: Rishi Bhatia’s Make It Happen Journey
When Rishi first stepped into Make It Happen, he wasn’t chasing motivation. He was searching for clarity. A new country, a young child, a career that felt stalled, and a business idea that seemed far bigger than his confidence at the time. The questions kept circling: Am I ready? Can I do this? What if I fail?
He had heard of Make It Happen from friends and family who had experienced dramatic shifts. Still, he wondered whether the same transformation was possible for him. Ten years later, his answer is written in bold ink across his life.
A Course That Arrived at the Perfect Time
Rishi had migrated to Australia five years earlier. He had a stable job, a growing family, and a dream of starting his own business in an industry completely different from his career so far. What he lacked wasn’t ambition. It was clarity. He didn’t question what he wanted. He questioned how to get there.
Make It Happen arrived like a hinge moment.
With full immersion and unwavering attention, he went through each session led personally by Swami Swaroopananda, the global head of Chinmaya Mission. What surprised him most was how intensely personal the entire experience felt. Every layer he peeled back opened a new layer of understanding, insight, and courage.
The Moment That Changed Everything
One early exercise asked participants to list the qualities that had brought them success so far. Later, they were asked to write down the traits needed to grow further. Rishi had a moment he still remembers vividly.
The lists were identical.
The qualities he believed he needed were the very ones he already possessed. Fear hadn’t erased his strengths. It had simply hidden them.
That was the turning point.
Clarity arrived.
Confidence followed.
And the decision became simple: Start the business.
From Side Hustle to a 10X Life
Rishi registered his business in July 2015. He even wrote himself a letter stating his revenue goal for the first 12 months. When he opened it a year later, he was in tears.
He had achieved the target in just three months.
The business continued to grow year after year. Eventually, after six years of running two full-time roles simultaneously, he resigned from his salaried job. Today, in 2025, his income has grown tenfold!
What changed wasn’t just the numbers.
It was the mindset.
Make It Happen replaced the “work harder” myth with something far more powerful: work with clarity, direction, and purpose. When effort is guided, consistent, and aligned, growth stops being linear. It becomes exponential.
The Tools That Stayed for Life
Even a decade later, Rishi uses these three core tools from the course.
Who Should Do Make It Happen?
Rishi believes the course is invaluable for:
Entrepreneurs
Aspiring business owners
Career professionals seeking clarity
Anyone who feels they’re capable of more but can’t see the path yet
To him, MIH is a mental reset, a practical toolkit, and a transformation container all at once.
A Decade Later, the Impact Lives On
Rishi still carries the insights, the frameworks, and the sense of personal empowerment that began in that first week of Make It Happen. What started as a search for clarity became a complete re-engineering of his mindset, choices, and life.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you could do it, his journey is a reminder that sometimes the answer isn’t found in new abilities. It’s found in rediscovering the ones you already have.
