If you want success in your life, one word: ACTION. Watch the video for more.

Sabirul Islam has been an entrepreneur for more than a decade. In this interview, he shares his journey as an entrepreneur and how he was driven by the question 'how will I be remembered?' that led him to achieve amazing and great things. I have met Sabirul in 2006 or 2007 when he was giving a talk at a networking group I used to work at the time when I used to be a graduate student. He was 17 and speaking in front of a crowd of mostly men with black suits in the heart of London. And his name was Islam. This is not a scenario that happens every day. Since then, I enjoyed following his growth and journey as a young entrepreneur sharing his passion, drive, and ambitions with other youth from all walks of life.

WATCH VIDEO Most of us demand so much of ourselves and give little time and attention to our most valuable asset: ourselves. It is important to take care of yourself first for your sanity and also because when you do so, you become the best version of yourself and are able to deliver better and bigger life and business results. Here are my tips for taking care and loving yourself: WATCH THE VIDEO         Breathe. I used to think that taking breaks is a waste of time. Now I know that rushing through the day and going from one task to another without checking in with my body and mind is definitely not a healthy thing to do in the long run.

I can’t stress enough about the importance of this point because of our current work conditions, it’s easy to fall into the trap of staying ...

With the prominence of social media, we may think that people nowadays have busy social lives. The reality is quite the opposite. Most solo entrepreneurs spend most of their days behind the computer screen typing and browsing the web. All communication happens virtually and even phone calls are becoming something of the past. CLICK HERE TO WATCH I know this problem too well. Being an entrepreneur myself, working from different locations and traveling across countries, I am most of the day working alone and virtually with teams and clients miles away from me. I have found that it can be unhealthy to continue working in my little bubble and the real need and desire to change that emerged only beginning of this year. While it may be comfortable to stay in my little zone, this doesn't come with any risks. Risks of being socially isolated, not able to communicate face to face with other human beings and risks of losing communication skills. In this video, I explain how not to...

CLICK TO WATCH It's been a while since I've posted a travel video. And since a lot of you voted for more travel videos on a recent Instagram poll, I thought why not vlog when I went to London last week. I have lived on 3 continents, 4 countries and 6 cities and London is the one that has a very special place in my heart. I love everything about the city: the people, food, vibe and this mixture of the British and European cultures. On this trip, I take you to the Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, the Thames, London Eye, Picadilly Circus etc on a week where it snowed so much that most schools were closed and the transportation was slow. Lucky me!! I hope you'll enjoy this video and if you do, please let me know!! Thanks for your support. 

WATCH VIDEO Our daily activities take up so much of our time. Showering, eating, working, commuting...some of us are chasing the end of the month salary. Some others the monthly pensions. But why do we live? What is the purpose of life? And do we have to have a purpose, to begin with? In my opinion, life without a purpose is a wasted life, especially that we currently live in a world that offers us so much more opportunities, better conditions of living and the internet. Yes, I had to say that because the internet brought more democracy into the world. Any average citizen's words have the same high chances of being heard as any country president or corporate CEO.  Because so much is available to us already, we should make it a goal to have a higher purpose in life. Our primary goals (paying the bills and having food on the table) shouldn't be our ultimate goals. Our existence should have a bigger meaning that goes beyond just our little comfort and interests. Making ...

In this interview, Serge Samoilenko, a communication instructor at George Mason University in Virginia, USA, talks about how to build a strong personal brand online and why some brands are not 'communicators'. He also explains what digital risks are and how to avoid them when building your brand online. Serge also reveals who you should go to first when promoting your products/services and the secret to really standing out and building a strong following.

CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO OK, let’s get this straight. If you want to succeed in life, you will have to network,. It doesn't matter if you’re an introvert or extrovert. Networking and meeting new people will help you grow, open up your mind and will trigger life-changing opportunities. Now that you know you cannot go it alone and that most successful people if not all of them have big networks that help them achieve their goals, let’s get to actually what you could do to start making meaningful connections: 1. Be nice to everybody. You don’t need a reason to be nice to people. In fact, generally, when I get asked about job interviews etc, I usually recommend to be nice to everyone you come across to from, the building entrance to the actual job interview office. You might never know who the person you’re coming across in the elevator is: it could be your future boss or the cleaner who will one day help you lock you out of the office bathroom. The idea is to be ni...

Last year, I got contacted by Elaine Pelletier who was writing a paper on entrepreneurship in Morocco for her MBA program at the University of Nebraska, USA. I thought I'd share with you her paper and our conversation on the current entrepreneurial environment in the country. Enjoy! ⧪⧪⧪⧪⧪⧪ Change Agent in Morocco:  Safaa Nhairy Elaine S. Pelletier University of Nebraska, Lincoln, MBA Program International Business June 15, 2017 Introduction Morocco is a natural point of confluence because of its geographic location in the northwest corner of Africa, adjacent to the Strait of Gibraltar, which is the major gateway for commerce and movement in the Mediterranean.  Morocco is rich with influence from the European, African and Arabic regions, making it a microcosm of globalism since the earliest times.  The Moroccan ability to blend very different – and often very contrary – cultures has made for an unexpectedly progressive business environment as compar...

Many people dream of launching their own businesses. And when they do, they end up creating jobs for themselves. They certainly are their own bosses but when they're off sick or on holiday, their business activity is on leave as well. When I read 'Poor Dad. Rich Dad' by Robert Kiyosake more than 10 years ago, the cashflow quadrant, he talks about, was to me, such a revelation. I understood that a business is much more than just being your own boss and enjoying the freedom that comes with it. A business is a commercial activity that requires a system. And this is the key thing lacking so many so-called businesses. To be clear, a system is a process where none of the steps rely on you completely. In other words, you need to set the outcomes and objectives clear, draft manuals/ training workbooks, train and hire people and track the system efficiency.  In today's world, this is even easier to achieve thanks to e-commerce and the internet. Automatisation is key to growin...

At the beginning of each year, we like to create a multi-page resolution list that we usually drop by the end of January. The goals can sometimes feel overwhelming or unattainable if some steps are not taken underway.  I find that to have what it takes to achieve big goals is to: CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO Invest in yourself: Learn, learn, learn! Learning is not limited to college degrees. Learning should be a daily need and task to keep up with the new trends of your market and expanding your mind. Don't be greedy when it comes to investing in yourself monetarily; buy and read books, go to workshops and seminars, get online education etc. This is a much worthy investment and you will never regret spending money on learning.   Expand your horizons: In other words, go outside of your comfort zone. Being confined in an environment, being around the same people and going to the same places all the way will only limit your ability to think outside of the box...
