Dev Gadhvi is India’s #1 Passionpreneur Mentor. It’s his mission to transform 1 billion lives by enabling them to find their passion and build a business around it. As someone who came from poverty and went on to become his family’s first millionaire, Dev believes that our greatest enemy is not our circumstances but our own limiting beliefs about ourselves. It’s because of this that Dev has developed programs that specifically help professionals conquer their biggest fears and… Quit their 9 to 5 and launch a business around their passion. Scale their business to new heights. Transform their lives from the inside out. I Grew Up In A Small Town In India, In A Neighborhood Full Of POVERTY, DRINKING, GAMBLING, And FIGHTING. My father was a hard-working, humble truck driver, a lovely, caring man who often gave away the little money we had to help somebody needier than us. One day, when I was begging to go with him on one of his long trips, he took hold of my shoulders and said, My mother was a maid and servant before she had children. She once worked for a rich man who sent his children to expensive English-medium schools. Seeing this, she decided that someday she would find a way to send her kids to the same schools as the rich. When my brother and I were school age, she decided to take out loans in order to pay for us to go to the expensive schools. All her relatives told her, “Don’t! You will be broke and not have money left over for food!” She didn’t listen. And then, when she took us to get admitted to the school, she was not let in the school’s gates because she was in old, ragged clothes. My mother stood there under the scorching sun, holding my brother’s and my hands for an hour until they finally let her in. Strong parents raised me, and because of them, I got out of poverty. But now, to elevate my life to levels even they could not imagine, I need to find the courage to quit my job. I need to believe in my vision of becoming successful at my passion for coaching… But I keep thinking, “What if it doesn’t work out?” And then a new thought comes: “What’s the worst that could happen? We have to give up a good house and a nice car. Maybe live with my mom for a while. That’s about it.” This single thought unleashes great strength and a deep motivation in me! I turn on a video camera and speak into it. I have bills to pay, hardly any savings, and many obstacles to overcome. But I wake up every day and go to work on my dream. I go to a new level of focus, diligence, and daring. By August 2020, I become the first millionaire in the family, a TEDx and JoshTalks speaker, a best-selling author (twice), and known to many as India’s first Passionpreneur Mentor—me, who lived way too long with my goals, aim, and actions too low. Looking back on my own “passionpreneur journey”, I can see that the hardest thing I overcame was my limiting beliefs. As a 9-5 employee, I didn’t think I had what it took to be a successful entrepreneur. And I had a mediocre mindset. To see my tremendous potential, I had to learn a whole new mindset. Today I am on a mission to help 1 billion people do the same—overcome a mediocre mindset and experience their extraordinary potential. I catalyze people to quit their 9-5 and mentor them to build their business around their passion.
