Overview

Saher Shodhan, the founder of Traktion.ai, faced significant challenges in scaling his London-based startup, a two-sided marketplace for freelance marketing talent. Despite his intellect and dedication, Saher found himself overwhelmed and on the brink of burnout after 18 months of minimal business growth.

Quick Jump

Challenge

The lack of progress at Traktion.ai depleted cash reserves, heightening stress and uncertainty. Saher was caught in a constant state of "fight or flight," unable to focus on activities that could genuinely propel his business forward.

Process

Together, we conducted a comprehensive audit of his time, health, psychology, and business to identify key bottlenecks. Based on our findings, we crafted a personalized 12-week roadmap with clear daily, weekly, and monthly KPIs to tackle these issues head-on. Saher then structured his day around "ringfenced sessions" to sharpen his focus and maximize time spent on revenue-generating activities. We monitored essential business and personal KPIs on a dashboard to ensure ongoing clarity and continuous improvement. Additionally, our bi-weekly one-on-one calls provided the necessary support, feedback, and accountability to ensure his commitment to success.

Personal Results

Saher reclaimed 20 hours per week by eliminating unproductive tasks while reducing his stress and analysis paralysis. His productivity tripled, allowing him to manage his responsibilities more effectively and regain confidence in his capabilities.

Professional Results

These strategic changes led to explosive growth for Traktion.ai, with a 1000% increase in revenue within the first 3 months of the program. Saher's leadership transformed a struggling startup into a robust business, ultimately leading to a successful exit in 2023.

How Selfmastered Works

360 Evaluation Illustration

360º Evaluation

Upon joining Selfmastered, you complete a comprehensive performance diagnostic that identifies the specific execution bottlenecks preventing you from scaling.

We analyze your entire performance spectrum across five domains:

  • Mind: Personality traits, behavioral patterns, decision-making defaults
  • Brain: Cognitive capacity, attention management, self-awareness
  • Life: Physical health, relationships, personal development
  • Business: Product, marketing, sales, operations execution
  • Time: Task prioritization, efficiency gaps, distraction patterns

You receive a Performance Evaluation that shows exactly why you're stuck and which constraints we'll systematically address over 16 weeks of training.

No more guessing. You see the real gap between the operator you are and the operator your business needs.

Guided transformation

Once we know exactly where you’re leaking execution, we don’t hand you “tips.” We build and install a protocol.

Using your 360° Evaluation, we design a research‑backed curriculum that systematically upgrades how you operate as a founder:

In this phase, we’ll precisely level up your:

  • Spiritual Performance (Purpose, intrinsic motivation, core values, consciousness)
  • Mental Performance (Cognition, beliefs, behaviors, and emotional management, etc..)
  • Physical Performance (Stress management, recovery, burnout-proofing), etc.
  • Strategic Performance (Prioritization, leverage, systems)
  • Executive Performance (Speed, feedback, flow states)

You get 1‑on‑1 coaching plus targeted group sessions where we install daily protocols, constraints, and feedback loops.

The goal of this phase is simple: take the version of you that shows up on your best days and make that your new baseline, not a once‑in‑a‑while peak.

Achievement

The culmination of your journey is to validate your transformation.Together, we set a concrete, uncomfortable goal that would’ve been impossible with your old operating system, then we use your new one to hit it.

Over the quarter we:

  • Audit your execution weekly.
  • Review wins, losses, and self‑sabotage patterns.
  • Adjust your protocol so you get better week after week

Typical goals we’ve helped founders hit in a single cycle:

  • Launch a new offer that drives $500,000+ in revenue.
  • Multiply revenue by 2x, 3x, 4x… up to 12x in extreme cases.
  • Win nationwide business awards.
  • Sell a business for 8 figures.
  • Build a team and systems that finally remove them from day‑to‑day chaos.
  • And many more

By the end, it’s not theory. You have hard evidence that you’re operating like a different founder, and results your old self simply could not have produced.
