From 0 to 6 Figures (What Few People Will Tell You)

Michael MuttiahFounder of Job Ready English $100,000+ annual revenue
Published May 17, 2023 by Niall Doherty

Michael Muttiah writes on Reddit that his business has…

Grown from 0 to 100K in 3 years mainly through digital products, with some copywriting and coaching. Yes you read that right. 3 years. Not 3 months.

According to that post, Michael is 36 years old and 10 years ago he was “a hopeless and helpless drug addict who couldn’t do squat”

He’s since racked up a decade of paid writing work.

Job Ready English appears to be his main thing now, where he helps international students in the UK go from a study visa to a work visa and find a job.

You can see the digital products he has for sale here. The most popular is apparently his Interview Success Secrets Preparation Kit.

Michael’s full post on Reddit is well worth a read, as he shares lots of hard lessons learned on his business journey.

A couple that stood out to me

You’ll never work so hard for so little. There are months when I JUST had enough to pay the bills. And I’d worked 60,80, or 100 hours that week. It can be soul destroying at times. I can hand on heart say, starting and running a business has been the most difficult thing I have ever done. Apart from getting sober. If it works, the pay off will come 3,5, 10, 20+ years down the line. But VERY FEW people are going to get rich in a few months. That expectation on yourself could literally give you a nervous breakdown.

I can’t work 100 hour weeks. Though the hustle culture is becoming a bit more wholesome, the first 6 months of the business I spent 10-12 hours a day 6 or 7 days a week, driving myself mad trying to get money through the door. And you know what happenned? I would then spend 2-3 days like a potato curled in a ball in bed watching Netflix, because my brain died. I can only speak for myself. But today, when I’m tired… I go home. I don’t pound another black coffee and “go hard” because I’ll just feel like shit the next day.
