This video is different from what I usually post. Here, I take you to my birth city Casablanca.  Casablanca is the largest and busiest city in Morocco combining tradition and modernity. I’ll explore with you some touristic sites such as the Ancient Medina & Haubous and will also show you another side of the city where business and social enterprising is flourishing. Sorry, entrepreneurship is coming up on my travel videos because that's what I enjoy the most.  There are other places to visit in Casablanca but they're not on the video. Obviously, my video is not a tour guide but snapshots of where I have recently been.  I have lived in Casablanca for many years. I have also left it many times. Too loud. Too stressful. Very polluted. With all that said, it's the city where my parents, children and I are from. I choose to see the best in it :) I hope you enjoy this video and if you do please like and share it!

Changing minds is often seeing as a negative thing. If you’ve made promises to yourself in the past and find it difficult to keep them up, don’t beat yourself up. Embrace the change and do NOT stress out. Your old self hasn’t died. It just evolved. Sticking to decisions you’ve made when you were 5 years-old doesn’t make much sense especially if they become a hindrance to your development and growth. It’s OK to change your mind... In this video, I explain why it's okay to change your mind and how it can actually be a beneficial thing. As George Bernard Shaw said, 'Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.' QUESTION: What is one promise you made yourself that you're finding hard to keep?  Please comment below and share the video if you liked it!

My values are both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because they are the foundation of who I am, the decisions I make and the actions I undertake. A curse because they limit me somehow. Being an entrepreneur gives you choice to lead your business as you wish. It also gives you the possibility to explore new fields, let your dreams grow and enable your ambitions to become reality. However, often, business development and integrity clash.  This clash is even more important in some countries where bribes and corruption are the common procedure. In other words, the size of your business demonstrates how much you have corrupted. Clearly, everything is possible when you are an entrepreneur. When facing an obstacle, you know that sometimes the easy solution is a big fat envelope (or briefcase) full of cash to solve the issue. Same goes with clients. You want to keep them and feel that they are happy to give you business only when you make the gesture. Your hands are tied. You know ...

This past year has been one of the most difficult years I have ever had. It was a year full of challenges, obstacles, difficulties, uncertainties, and struggles. It was a year where I was stretched, had my limits tested and a lot of times, I wanted to drop everything to keep my sanity... Each time I was feeling low and on the verge of quitting, I had a thought for those less privileged. I guess I was my own mentor/coach. But with time, I sincerely realized that my problems or at least what I perceived as problems were the results of a life full of things taken for granted and depreciated. In other words, my 'problems' could in fact be a joy, delight, treasure, to someone else. In fact, there is a saying that goes: One man's trash is another man's treasure When I complained about having too-much work and felt a lot of stress and despair, I stopped and realized that I was lucky to have this great abundance as it's a recognition of my hard work. I was commission...

Passer du salariat à l'entreprenariat n'est pas chose aisée. Beaucoup de personnes y songent mais peu arrivent à franchir le pas. Dans cette vidéo, je partage avec vous les témoignages de trois jeunes entrepreneurs, partis de rien. Ils ont tous les trois un parcours passionant et beaucoup de choses en commun. Etre entrepreneur ne s'apprend pas sur les bancs de l'école mais c'est d'abord, un besoin brûlant de créer, d'apporter du changement ou amélioration dans la vie des consommateurs (et de la vôtre) et bien sûr une envie d'indépendance et de liberté dans la gestion de son temps et ses actions. Maria Amrani a lancé Papillon Vert d'abord depuis chez elle parce qu'elle avait une passion pour les fleurs et plantes. Said Chbihi, aux apparences d'un personnage très timide a pour passion, quant à lui, de faire rencontrer les gens et leur permettre d'échanger et d'interagir. D'où ses business de coffee shops. Laila Berchane, in...

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...

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 ...
