From Trapped CEO to Freedom Architect
I built my first seven-figure business and nearly destroyed myself in the process. That breakdown became my breakthrough and the foundation for a proven business coaching methodology that's freed 350+ CEOs from operational prison.
I was successful on paper. Multiple businesses, industry recognition, rapid growth. But I was drowning.
Every vacation interrupted. Every strategic initiative delayed because I was the bottleneck. My team waiting for my approval on decisions they should own. The realization that I'd built a business that ran me instead of giving me freedom. Selling wasn't the answer. Burning out wasn't an option. "Trying harder" was killing me.
That's when I made a decision: I would systematically deconstruct what keeps CEOs trapped and build a methodology to free them.
I spent years studying what separated CEOs who scale. Tested frameworks across 40+ industries. Invested 80,000 hours mastering 14 disciplines. What I discovered is that most CEOs solve inner game problems with outer game tactics. Generic advice doesn't scale. Proven systems do.
The CEO Freedom OS™ helped 350+ founders reclaim 20+ hours weekly while accelerating revenue growth.

Why This Mission
This Isn't Just Work. It's Personal.
I've seen what it does to a founder to carry a business alone for too long. The
pressure. The doubt. The 4AM anxiety that never goes away.
This Isn't Just Work. It's Personal.
I've seen what it does to a founder to carry a business alone for too long. The pressure. The doubt. The 4AM anxiety that never goes away.
I've lived it. And I've watched too many brilliant CEOs burn out trying to hold everything together.
That's why I do this work. Not to motivate. Not to consult. But to help CEOs build systems that work so you can lead without losing yourself.
My mission isn't about visibility. It's about impact.
"I want to impact the lives of 1 million people who will never know my name."

Here’s What Some of the World’s Most Influential Business Gurus Have to Say
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege to work with, and be mentored by some of the world’s top business coaches and strategic thinkers. Their words mean a lot because they’ve seen what real leadership looks like behind the curtain.
Through his coaching program, Rajesh has taken on a massive project to positively impact the lives of more than one million people who will never know his name.
Jack Canfield
Bestselling Author, Chicken Soup Series
I strongly recommend Rajesh's program for business owners who need to strengthen the two areas that are holding them back: Leadership and Culture.
John Mattone
CEO Coach, Coach of Steve Jobs
At Rajesh's program, you will lay a strong foundation for success: Decide exactly what you want, set your goals, and then determine how you will achieve them.
Brian Tracy

Rajesh is a fantastic coach who will help you think through your problems and connect you with other people. His program is a gift to Dubai and beyond.
Kate Sweetman

The mind is not designed to store things but to process them. Rajesh has a great depth of wisdom and experience to coach you to access your peak performance zone.
David Allen
Creator of Getting Things Done
The biggest mistake is to believe that what got you here will take you there. Rajesh will help you apply simple laws of physics to increase your sales and profits.
Dr. Marshall Goldsmith

My Approach & What to Expect
My goal is simple: build systems that free you from operations so you can
finally do CEO-level work. Here’s what makes this different.

Inner Game vs. Outer Game
Most CEOs try to solve inner game problems (clarity, decision-making, leadership presence) with outer game tactics (more tools, more meetings, more hustle). It doesn't work. We fix the inner game first then your outer game accelerates effortlessly.

Business Physics vs. Business Philosophy
SWOT analysis helps you understand. Bottleneck identification helps you breakthrough. I focus on the physics of your business, finding the constraint, what's slowing you down, not philosophy that sounds good in theory.

Systems Over Advice
Your business isn't mine. Your team isn't my team. Generic advice doesn't scale. Proven systems do. I don't tell you what to do. I help you build the infrastructure that makes the right decisions obvious.

Ruthless Compassion
I learned this from Mother Teresa in 1986. Real compassion isn't soft. It's a relentless demand for people to show up at their best. That's how I coach. High standards. Deep support. Zero coddling.
