My Story
Dear Friend,
I am Karunakaran Nagarajan, but you can call me Karuna.
I believe that I have been blessed with a special purpose in this world, and that is to help one million people become super successful in life & career.
It warms my heart to know that you are here, reading this message. I hope to build a meaningful and lasting connection with you through our virtual interactions.
Your presence here means a lot to me, and I value your time. Allow me to tell you a little about myself.
My Background
I was an ordinary student in school. Not extraordinary.
I was truly passionate about playing Kabaddi. I was the captain for my school team and college team, played many tournaments right through my schooling years and won many awards.
After schooling, I did my Veterinary degree in 2011 and became a Veterinary doctor.
Career
It was the year 2016. I got my first job at Cavin International Private Limited (A division of CavinKare Private Limited).
My responsibility is to feed the birds and wash the dishes. I started off as an individual contributor.
I had no purpose and vision when I started my career.
One day, I studied the story of CKR. He is an ordinary man who came from Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu.
He started his business with just Rs.15,000 and eventually built it into a super successful company which is making Rs. 2,500 crores.
I was super inspired after reading his story and something inside me shifted. That day, I realised the fact that anybody can achieve anything in life if we are willing to make a decision.
On that day, I made a decision that I am going to become super successful and live an extraordinary life no matter what it takes. I set the intention to learn every single thing from him and to build a super successful career.
Curiosity to win in life and Career
One day during discussion with CKR, I asked a life changing question and it really changed the trajectory of my life.
Here’s the question:
How are you so successful in life and business?
He smiled, looked at my eyes and said, that’s a great question. If you want to learn the secrets, spend more time with me. But I am busy in working hours and I can’t spend time with you.
If you are serious and obsessed, you can join me on my walking time at 7 to 8 am daily. I decided to go for a walk with him on a daily basis. That decision is the game changer in my life.
Personal Transformation: Veterinarian To Business Leader
I usually prepare myself before I go for a walk with CKR and I ask a lot of questions to improve myself.
Here’s the conversation that changed my life.
I asked: I wanted to earn more salary in this company?
He replied: If you want to earn more. Don’t just be a veterinary doctor alone.
I responded: What? That’s what I have studied for 5 years.
He replied: I understand. But, with that skill alone you can grow to certain level and hit a ceiling point.
I asked: What should I do now?
He replied: Learn the skills needed to run a business.
I asked: But I don’t know those skills. How do I learn that?
He replied: "Invest In Yourself."
The lesson he taught me was: Invest your time, energy and money in your personal growth.
At that time, I didn’t understand what he was talking about.
But now, when I look back in time, I was living by his principles.
I dedicated myself to become a business leader.
I invested 2 hrs of my time every single day on my personal development.
I invested Rs. 15 lakhs (and counting) on books, courses, training, coaching and mentorship to develop my attitude, knowledge and skills.
I worked very hard and I eventually grew much faster than I ever imagined in my life.
