You will hear successful people’s entrepreneurial stories in this essay and discover similarities between them. Along the way, I’ll be reviewing my experiences and journey to find the answer within. It will resemble a petcha kutcha with a focus solely on business and entrepreneurship.

The idea that anything can be thought of, including soft skills, comes from Alex Hormozi. All you need to know is what those people do and how they do it. You will resemble them if you can train yourself to possess the same skill set as them. I’ll attempt to determine what these people—who I consider to be successful—have in common in this essay.

 

I’ve always been curious about the route to entrepreneurial success. I’ve come across a lot of success stories, and while they’re all motivating, it all seems like a puzzle. Every entrepreneur began in a different role and with a distinct attitude and way of thinking. There are certain things you must accomplish, but I can assure you that there is no one way to become an entrepreneur. A brief summary of my life: at the age of 11, I was relieved to be in Finland, not because of the war but rather because my mother informed me that I would not be returning to school for some time. I was also the happiest 11-year-old you could possibly meet. I was 11 years old when I learned that collecting bottles could earn me money. I made so much money that I didn’t even use it all and instead donated it to my mother. My next move with this entrepreneurial mindset was when I was about 13 years old. We used to travel to Estonia frequently, and I noticed that they had energy drinks and fizzy drinks that we don’t have in Finland. I bought a lot of drinks from them and began selling them in school, marketing them as exclusive drinks that aren’t found in Finland. I sold a lot of drinks and also made a lot of money. I find it fascinating that you would be prepared to pay a high price for something that is uncommon and exclusive; it made sense to me. The next step was to take on a bigger project. I looked for it for years without success, but my love of entrepreneurship remained. I was disappointed that I couldn’t pursue my goals because I was still so young and had tried everything. I began working as soon as I was 15 years old in an attempt to use the money I made to further my goals, but as life became more complicated, I began to feel as though anything I did without a company was against the law. Following that, I thought that there was no other option for me, so I tried a lot of stuff online. I have gained experience and knowledge in several areas through my online endeavours.

 

Your entrepreneurial path, Hamad Al Shamsi, is fundamental and, in my opinion, more traditional. In a conversation with a friend of his who lives in Saudi Arabia, the friend asked him to buy him something, so Hamad bought it and sent it. When Hamad inquired about the product’s price in Saudi Arabia, the friend replied with a very high number, shocking Hamad that something so inexpensive could cost so much abroad. So Hamad started the journey, asking someone he knew who was more experienced in entrepreneurship than he was, but the man rejected him. But one of the key things that helped Hamad grow was a product that could make old TVs smart. Since he had a degree in computer engineering, he created and sold the product, and it became a boom. Another product he sold was a carry-on translator, but no one was buying it at the time. One night, Hamad had the idea to make a joke Snapchat video with the product, and that instantly increased sales. He currently operates numerous stores in the United Arab Emirates and other Middle Eastern nations. (Trendz Podcast).

 

Another example is Hamad bin Fahd, who has a successful perfume company. He and his partner wanted to open a perfume company, and he had a lot of experience in marketing and selling, so he started with perfumes this time. He studied the perfume market, and they began to pick perfume scents they would like, which was difficult because they are very picky, but they ended up with two products, one of his choice and the other of his partner’s choice. He marketed it very cleverly. He was working for a company, and after prayer, it occurred to him that why not break the perfumes in the office and let people smell them and hear feedback from them and maybe even sell them? The results were incredible; he received many compliments on the perfume even though they did not know who sprayed it. After some days, he told them that it was me and this is the product if you want to buy it, and it sold quickly in the office. He then adopted a different tactic, which resulted in a significant increase in sales, by giving his friends and family this perfume and instructing them to flaunt it to passersby like a newborn. (Dart/وثبة Hamad bin Fahd).

 

Alex Hormozi, was working at a corporate job but he didn’t enjoy it, it was his fathers dream that he followed, he moved into another city and started couching and opening gyms, he had multimple gyms afterward, he ofcource struggled a lot throw that but it payed off at the end. He sold all his gyms and started a new thing but his partner robbed all the money he had made and he couldn’t do anything about it, as he says it was the hardest 6-months of my life. After that, he contacted and spoke with gyms, and it dawned on him that he might assist them in starting and succeeding in their endeavors. He then began making phone calls to potential clients, informing them that he could assist them. He claims to have made $100,000 in just four days from zero, which is how he launched his business. He then went on to invest in additional businesses, which brought him even more wealth. He claims that it was all worthwhile because he gained valuable information from the first company, which helped him even after his partner took his money. According to a proverb by Alex Hormozi, knowledge and abilities are the only things that are unassailable. (Alex Hormozi).

 

It’s evident that each person arrived at their current location via a distinct route, but what unites them? Everyone has discipline and understanding in their domains, so is it really so simple yet difficult at the same time? I’m considering this. It is impossible to have one without the other; even if you can be a disciple, you still need to know your stuff. Hamad bin Fahd notes that some people enter markets with the intention of hitting and running, but he discourages this strategy because most of these people fail because they don’t know what to do. As an example, he cites the case of one individual who developed an app and spent a significant amount of money on it before coming to Hamad and told him how I make money out of this now. This is an example of a disciple without knowledge. (Dart/وثبة).

The lesson for me from this essay is that, don’t worry about your path just work, learn and do the right things. “Don’t worry about the results”. None of these individuals thought that they would make it as they made it but they stuck to it, they were consistent and disciplined and learned through the way
