T1C 04 | The 1% Closer with Sandhya Seshadri

Title: The 1% Closer With Sandhya Seshadri Summary:

In this short exchange between Seth Bradley and Sandhya Seshadri, Seth asks what separates Sandhya as a top 1% performer. Sandhya shares that her resilience and fearlessness stem from humble beginnings — arriving with almost nothing, living frugally, and learning to rebuild from scratch. She attributes her success to persistence, adaptability, and surrounding herself with positive energy. Sandhya emphasizes removing negativity, outsourcing low-value tasks, and maintaining the determination to find a way forward no matter what.

Bullet Points Highlight:

• Came to the country with only two suitcases and $8 per week for food.

• Not afraid of failure or starting over — knows exactly how to rebuild from scratch.

• Maintains low expenses and simple living (still drives an 11-year-old car).

• Values persistence and finding a way forward no matter what.

• If one route fails, takes another — “go off-road and make your own trail.”

• Believes success leaves clues — find someone who’s done it before and follow their path.

• Never gives up — persistence and consistency drive results.

• Removes naysayers and negative influences from life.

• Outsources draining tasks and avoids time-wasting relationships.

• Focuses on protecting energy and replacing negativity with productive, positive people.

 

Transcript:

Speaker 2 (00:00.174) You're clearly in the top 1 % of what you do. What is it about you that separates you from the rest of the field?

I'm not afraid of failing and starting from scratch because I came here with nothing. I came here with two suitcases. Eight dollars a week was my food budget. I know exactly what I need to cut back if I was to lose everything and start over again. And I still drive an 11 year old car. I don't have fancy, fancy expenses other than the need to travel for which I'll always find a way. So that's the other thing is persistence.

and always finding a way to get there. So if path one fails, you know, go off road and find your own trail to get to that destination. Don't give up. There's somebody has done it before you. Just go find that person and follow their footsteps.

Is there any other mindset or habit you think that puts you in that top 1 % of performers in the field?

Never give up and delete the naysayers from your life. Sometimes it's like just freeing up your time from all the people that drain you and the tasks that drain you. So outsource the tasks, get rid of the people. Just be busy when they want to get together with you and replace them with somebody else and just that energy shift can make such a big difference.

Speaker 2 (01:19.662) Thank you so much.
