In my opinion, the most critical damage of being unemployed or underemployed is not on your finances or your future employability. Material things can always be accumulated again. However, I believe you take the biggest damage to your psychology, self-esteem, and self-worth. The same is true for working with toxic colleagues.

“The risk of depression is higher among the unemployed than among the employed” (Reference to Study by Robin E.McGee et al, source CDC. https://www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2015/14_0451.htm)

There are literally 1,000s of academic studies pointing out extreme consequences to one’s psychology during unemployment, underemployment, or periods of having to work with toxic, abusive colleagues even if these signs may not be apparent at first. This is the reason why I urge everyone to pull the trigger as quickly as possible on their decision to join LIG or not.

If you make the decision, then don’t wait. You are taking a hit on your psychology every single day. That damage may surface one day in the form of depression, mental health issues, extreme lack of motivation, anger, and intrusive thoughts.

You have to approach job hunting with a great sense of urgency. Every single day, a role that is just perfect for you is being filled by someone else. And who knows if the pool is filled back in with more suitable roles – especially given the recent recession indications.

For the vast majority of career professionals, without what they learn in LIG, their job hunt can go for up to 6 months and they most often end up settling for a mediocre employer.

Almost none of my 7,000+ LIG members has ever spent more than 2 months unemployed. In fact, over 80% find their ideal jobs within 15 to 45 days after completing the program.

Sure thing!

In fact, a lot of our members have already done just that, only a few that comes to my mind now;

From India to Dubai and London.

Manila to Dubai, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

Faisalabad to London,

Mexico City to Vancouver.

And so many Romanian, Bulgarian, and Polish professionals to London and with increasing frequency to Amsterdam (so many)

Obviously, it won't be a walk in the park and you won't have the 80% success rate as most other members achieve - but what matters is that it's certainly possible and other people have already achieved it. You just have to mentally prepare yourself for the battle.

I left the employment world in 2017 at the age of 36. I was a manager in the strategy consulting line of service at the world’s largest professional services firm; PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers). I have been a management consultant for about a decade. Prior to that, I was an analyst with Standard & Poor’s.

I also have an MBA degree from Cass Business School of City University London. In my consulting career, I had the opportunity to work with over 200 large multinationals from every single sector imaginable, helping them solve their most difficult problems.

While it was an exceptional experience being a management consultant and working with the top level executives of the biggest firms in the world, I didn’t see myself becoming a partner in the firm. I wanted to dedicate more of my time to guiding ambitious career professionals. In addition to helping LIG members, I also co-own and manage two small mines that explore and extract industrial commodities. Mining has always been a passion of mine since my childhood.

Unfortunately, most of you don’t really know how real recruitment happens. It’s understandable though. You only hear from the recruiters and HR. Sadly, you are taking the very advice that you should be avoiding. That’s where I come in to give you a different perspective. A very different one…

In this journey of 6 years, LIG became even more impactful every year based on the results and inputs gained from members – eventually reaching to a mind-blowing success rate of almost 80%.

You don’t need connections; friends, friends of friends, or relatives to succeed in the corporate world.

If you were looking for “a job”, any job, then it might have helped but with LIG, we’re shooting for “the job”. The job you deserve.

I am carefully choosing the word “deserve” here. Anyone who invests a significant amount of funds into a 4-year degree and who soldiers through those 4 years to a graduation deserves to have a decent living standard, free of debt, and a career that grows every year.

As per college degree, my bachelor’s degree was from such a low-brand school that I refuse to share its name on my LinkedIn profile. Not only it was a government college but also one of the bottom-ranked ones. The professors were soulless government employees who cared about nothing but their pay cheques at the end of the month. In fact, I finished that 4 year degree in 6 years with a 1 year academic suspension on my 2nd year.

Even then, nothing prevented me from having an absolutely brilliant career.

Yes, the odds were stacked against me as they may be to you. Yes, I was aware my challenge was going to be significantly greater than most others. But that was a blessing in disguise.

That was the source of my motivation. The greater the challenge, the greater the motivation. My career is just one little example out of 1,000s of LIG members who also don’t come from brand name universities or have master’s degrees but achieve “impossible results” every single day.

Definitely not!

There are no hidden charges or recurring payment. You only purchase the training program once and you keep reaping the benefits forever. You will have a lifetime access to the program also to me.

I am still closely in touch with all LIG members even with those who joined 2 years ago. They joined to get better jobs, they got better jobs. Now, I help them with their day to day work problems, ie; corporate strategy, business strategy, expansion plans, project management, operations flow, corporate politics, promotions, etc.

The program is already discounted down from USD 1,200.

In 99% of the cases, it’s not a question of affordability. It’s a question of preference. None of us would want to part with our funds or a bunch of "matter" we accumulated. We are risk-averse by default. The problem with this mindset is that it leads to ignoring opportunities which lead to increasing your absolute risk as you spend more time unemployed or underemployed and get closer to unemployability. This is a negative feedback loop. LIG is that great opportunity. I know of LIG members who downgraded their cellphones to join the program and ended up tripling their salaries in 40 days.

We live in an extremely competitive period of time. Every minute you waste, another great vacancy suitable to your background is being filled. It’s not even a fair competition. The one who is taught a better strategy always wins. Strategy + Effort = A Great Job Offer. As simple as that. Strategy comes from me, effort comes from you. That’s how we win.

Definitely. If anything, you’ll be the ones who see results the quickest. Around 30% of LIG members are between 40 to 55 years old. Your career is a 40-year journey. What difference does it make even if you recover your career a little late? You still have at least 15 to 25 years of human capital left in you. That's a very long time.

More than relevant, it’s a must. You’ve invested 10s of thousands of dollars (like me) in your higher education and you have to break into big name employers as quickly as you can. Your diploma will not give you the interviews you think you’ll have as you get closer to graduation. You’ll find out soon. But I hope not the hard way.

There’s a reason why the majority of reputable business schools employ me to come run workshops.

This comes as a big surprise to many. For some reason, most of you don’t believe that I can still provide answers to your questions without charging extra fee.

My support towards LIG students goes way beyond the training provided in this course. While you are only paying a relatively small amount to buy the program, you are also automatically becoming a part of my inner circle.

I am your consultant and here to help you get to the next level in your career, whether it’s finding a job you love, passing interviews, getting that promotion, impressing your managers, transferring to new departments, helping you navigate office politics, and so on. It is as simple as that. I am not running a greedy business, trying to maximize profits. So, if I can continue to add value to your life, I will. You need a job and I don’t need to charge extra fee each time I answer your questions…
