Athin moved from Adelaide to Sydney in 2011 through a work opportunity and thought this would be the change that he needed. It was a big decision to move away from his family and friends, however the opportunity of change seemed the best option.

Many people, including Athin’s parents, doubted he would last in Sydney. His dad said, “you will be back home within 6 months”. Athin stacked this on top of the doubt from his teachers, which gave him the fire to prove them all wrong. Athin did not expect the much faster pace of Sydney and had to adapt quickly to survive.

Athin felt that there must be more to life where he could live with purpose to enjoy every day. After working for 9 years and now living in this new city, Athin knew he needed to learn more about business, so he applied and was accepted into university for a Master of Business Administration (MBA), majoring in Strategic Management and Entrepreneurship, based on his experience. Athin completed most of the core subjects while working, which gave him the confidence that he could start his own business.

After a management change and being highly stressed for his final 12 months working for a large corporation, Athin chose to walk away from the stability of full-time employment and start his own consulting business in 2017.

Three months after starting his consulting business Athin was running out of money, fast. Athin is a spiritual person and felt a moment of divine intervention where he was provided with an opportunity to grow. Athin knew that he needed to take this opportunity to be successful. Seemingly with divine timing, a friend offered Athin a last minute free ticket to a 3 day business bootcamp.

This is when Athin’s life changed exponentially.

The event started with 18 straight hours on mindset, where Athin flipped limiting beliefs into empowering beliefs, and the other 2 days covered all areas of business, especially sales. Athin obtained the clarity and skills I needed to move forward.

Using the mindset shifts and sales strategies he learnt, Athin had his first big breakthrough, where I obtained Scentre Group (Westfield) as a client. Athin managed their national waste management tender process, where he saved them over $4 million a year over 5 years, so $20 million in total. Following that, Athin had his second big breakthrough;- he obtained Kmart and Target as a client for a variety of his services. He also saved Kmart and Target millions of dollars per year.

Athin realised that he needed to continue his personal development journey, and became extremely driven to constantly learn, level up and create the success he desired in his life. Athin started reading many books, listening to audiobooks and sought out the best global coaches and mentors to learn from.

After being coached and mentored and seeing the exponential results, Athin made the decision to become a business coach, mentor, strategist and speaker, so that he could help people create their own purposeful and successful life on their terms.

Now Athin has worked with many more of Australia’s biggest brands including Coles, Catch, Guzman Y Gomez and Department of Defence. He has also worked with 1000’s of business owners in Australia and globally to help them grow and scale their business to create success, wealth and freedom in their life. He has spoken in front of 1,000 and 2,500 people in Los Angeles and in many other stages in Australia. He is also an investor where he invests in companies and other deals, along with being the host of The Business Growth Show, where he interviews celebrities and entrepreneurs from across the globe including Jay Abraham (Highest Paid Marketer), Bruce Buffer (UFC Announcer), Jillian Michaels (The Biggest Loser USA), Joe Foster (Reebok Founder), Kristina Karlsson (kikki.k Founder, Jim Penman (Jim’s Group Founder), among many others.

Athin’s results show that anyone with the right attitude for growth and with personal development on their mindset and all areas of business can achieve success. This has enabled Athin to own multiple businesses and have multiple investments.

Athin shares this story to show you that anything is possible.

Most people stay inside their comfort zone and don’t have the courage to make a big change in their life. They are scared they will fail or about what other people will say. Once you take the first step outside of your comfort zone and start your own path you have an amazing feeling of fulfilment which drives constant growth.

Starting a business is not easy, however with the right guidance and tools it can be successful. You may need to put in more hours in the first few years, with the end goal being to work much less once the business has scaled.

Athin started from not finishing school or going to university initially, and simply getting experience through a job. He had none of these skills until he took – and created – an opportunity and continued to learn from that point onwards. Athin is grateful to share his story with you and aims for it to inspire you to achieve the success and fulfilment you desire.
