Now, let’s hear Safalta Sharma’s inspiring journey in her own words.
I come from Khatauli, a small town in Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh.
My journey didn’t start with passion.
It started with pressure, confusion, and a quiet fear that my life would be decided before I ever got the chance to choose it.
Growing up, I heard the same lines again and again –
“Padh lo, par bahar mat jao.”
“Zyada mat bolo.”
“Shaadi hi final goal hai.”
At some point, these stopped feeling like advice.
They started feeling like boundaries.
And slowly, I began to question not just my situation, but my own potential.
But the truth is – I was never afraid of failure. I was afraid of never trying.
Where Everything Changed
We are three sisters.
My eldest sister, got married early and she wasn’t financially independent at that time.
That moment stayed with me.
That night, me and my second elder sister Arnika sat awake till 2 AM.
No roadmap. No plan. No clarity.
Just one uncomfortable realization – If I don’t change things now, I’ll end up living the same life.
That was the moment I decided – I have to become financially independent.
The Phase Where I Lost Direction
After NEET, I failed.
And that failure didn’t just affect my results, it affected my belief system.
My friends were moving to big colleges, stepping into bigger environments, exploring opportunities.
And I stayed back.
I started believing, “Maybe I won’t be able to do anything meaningful from here.”
That thought slowly turned into doubt.
And that doubt almost turned into giving up.
The Shift in Thinking
At one of my lowest points, my sister Arnika showed me a reel:
“Jisse mohabbat karte ho usse shaadi kar lo,
aur agar aisa na ho, to jisse shaadi ho gayi ho, usi se mohabbat kar lo.”
We laughed.
But later, that line stayed.
It made me realize something deeper:
If life doesn’t give you the situation you want, you don’t wait, you adapt, and you build from where you are.
That was the shift.
Even if I wasn’t in a big college, even if I was doing BCA – I still had a chance.
Starting Before I Felt Ready
From my first year itself, I started.
Not because I had clarity but because I didn’t want to stay stuck.
My first semester was chaos.
Trying everything.
Learning skills.
Creating projects.
Moving a lot but not moving forward.
The Real Struggle Phase
Then came the hardest phase of my journey.
- 500+ job applications
- Cold emails
- Cold DMs
- Trying different ways to earn
- Facing rejection, again and again
No replies.
No validation.
No results.
Just effort that no one could see.
That phase tests you.
Not your skills but your patience, your belief, your ability to continue when nothing is working.
Most people stop there.
I didn’t.
First Break And Another Setback
From July 2023, I got my first Unpaid internship.
It felt like a breakthrough.
But even that didn’t go perfectly.
I left it within 2 months before completing it.
Not because I failed. But because I realized:
I had more potential to grow. More to earn. More to build.

Where Everything Actually Started
After leaving, my real journey began.
I went deep into LinkedIn.
Not casually but strategically.
- Did multiple internships alongside college
- Worked with 7+ top agencies
- Learned real-world execution
- Understood positioning, content, and visibility
- Started getting my own clients
This wasn’t trial anymore.
This was direction.
The First Proof
Then came my first earning – ₹1800.
For editing 20 reels.
It was small.
But it changed everything.
Because for the first time , I didn’t just believe. I knew.
Building With Intention
From there, I stopped experimenting randomly.
And started building intentionally.
LinkedIn became my platform.
And I realized something powerful:
People don’t lack knowledge. They lack visibility that reflects their credibility.
What I Do Today
Today, I work as a Personal Branding Strategist.
I help Indian Executive, Leadership, Career, and Parenting Coaches
build clear, credible, authority-driven personal brands on LinkedIn.
Not by chasing trends.
Not by copying content.
But through:
– Clear positioning
– Strong thinking
– Consistent visibility
– Trust that compounds over time
Growth & Recognition
So far, I’ve:
– Built 14,000+ followers on LinkedIn
– Worked with 15+ clients
– Collaborated with 7+ agencies
– Featured as a guest on 2 podcasts
– Hosted 40+ conversations on my own podcast, SisCast
But beyond numbers – what matters is the depth behind them.
Because this wasn’t built on shortcuts.
It was built on showing up – especially when nothing seemed to work.
Vision
My vision is simple.
To show small-town girls and boys that
they don’t need perfect conditions, big colleges, or external validation to start.
They can build from where they are.
Because I’ve lived that reality.
And I know – If life doesn’t give you choices, you learn to create your own.
