Why You Should Fall Down to Reach Your Goals

Most of my recent business lessons are inspired by my own children. They teach me so much about life, way of being and thinking. I find so much simplicity in how they act and behave. They don't complicate life. They actually make it simple and find good solutions to what we call 'problems'. In today's video, I talk to you about the importance of falling down to grow and be the person you want. Living a life with no risks is not worth living. Staying in your comfort zone can be good for some. But if you have big dreams, it's not the place for you to be at. I know for sure, my 11 months-old doesn't want to be carried all his life. He wants to start walking and be independent. Every day, he accepts the fall down and failures to learn to stand on his own and start walking. This kid was you and me too. Somehow along the day, we changed... These videos and blog posts are almost a dairy of mine. I remind myself of some of the basic lessons of life and I li...

Who Your Real Friends Are

The past weeks/months have been extremely busy for me. I barely had any time to do anything else other than the big project I was working on. During all this time, I was feeling guilty not posting videos or new blog posts. So today was finally the day. I filmed a video on the go (as you'll see). No preparation, no make-up, no set-up. I filmed in a park while my kid was playing (that's why you'd see me looking up throughout the video/ mom life). The video is short but carries a message I wanted to share with you. Here I am talking about my personal experience with people and who, I feel, my real friends are. As an adult, it can be difficult to find people you can really connect with and be yourself. However, there are some people, who I sometimes meet or get to see again, who give me that feeling of being connected to them and make me feel good about being myself and their friend. Find out who these people are and share your experience/thoughts with me.  Also, let me ...

Make Every Day Count

As June and the month of Ramadan are soon coming to an end, I am starting to feel that we are also approaching the end of 2017. Six months have already gone by and so much in my to-do list seem still unchecked. Strangely I am not stressed about it and am in fact more relaxed. Maybe life experience and age help us be more confident about ourselves and definitely calmer. Or maybe big ambitions and goals are beginning to fade away. I hear people all the time complain about how little time they have to play with their kids, visit family or cook dinner. They, surprisingly, find the time to browse Instagram and message all day on Whatsapp. I ask myself why are people lying to themselves. Why do they keep telling themselves they have no time when in fact they do? There is a famous saying that says 'You have as many hours as Beyonce (or Obama etc)'. True Beyonce and company have teams and people they can delegate to. But you don't have to be a celebrity to live a better life...

Dear friends I am happy and excited to announce to you the launch of Amaze-boutique.com. Amaze is a project I personally have been working on for months and it’s finally coming to life today. AMAZE is a boutique designer and manufacturer of hip and trendy lifestyle products for young entrepreneurs, innovators and movers & shakers.

How to Become a Journalist in the Mainstream Media

Signing articles in international mainstream media can be such a rewarding thing. But this doesn't come without a lot of work and most certainly, offering an added value. In this episode, meet Aida Alami, an international reporter who contributes to the New York Times, Newsweek, Al Jazeera and Bloomberg. Her love for journalism started out in Marrakesh where she was born and took her to Colombia University where she studied journalism and made her dream come true. In this interview, Aida gives so many valuable pieces of advice that apply to aspiring journalists and reporters as well as future young movers & shakers. The main lessons I picked out from this interview are: 1. Know what you want and go for it: Aida knew from the beginning she wanted to do journalism and had a clear vision of the kind of life she wanted to pursue. 2. Practice makes perfect: English is Aida's third language and this did not prevent her from writing for big American mainstream me...

Doing what you love is NOT selfish

So many of us feel frustrated. We do things we don't like and believe that it's being the harsh reality of life. We lie to ourselves saying that 'things have changed', 'it's impossible' and living in the past with our best-friend phrases 'I wish I could', 'If only' etc. We are so consumed by what others think yet we do care very little about what we think. It seems like other people's opinions have so much power on us and that our lives depend on whether the world approves of our thoughts and decisions. While trying to please others, we loose our soul, spirit and sometimes heart. We decide to put our happiness in their hands and pray for their consent. Life's truly too short to be wasted and I am a fervent believer that there's a way to every problem and situation. If your heart tells you that you should be doing something and it occupies your mind, then this should not be overlooked. As long as it's noble and not hurt...
