Eight parts, one journey.

When I look back, the $953 I was earning every month in Dubai was more than just a small paycheck — it was a wake-up call. It forced me to face reality, rethink my beliefs, and discover the mindset shifts I needed to change my life.

I went from chasing promotions…

to realizing a job could never give me security.

I went from waiting for approval…

to deciding Never Again would I let others decide my worth.

I went from living in survival mode…

to taking the first step toward entrepreneurship and freedom.

The Core Lesson

Your turning point doesn’t come when you get a raise, a bonus, or a promotion.

It comes the moment you decide to take action for yourself.

The $953 was my wake-up call. What’s yours?

From Wake-Up to Results

That decision changed everything for me.

From a courier struggling to survive, I built an international business, invested in real estate across countries, and eventually co-authored a book with the legendary Brian Tracy (alongside Medhat Zaki).

Here’s Brian Tracy himself sharing his thoughts about me and our book:

I don’t share this to impress you — I share it to show you what’s possible when you take your own wake-up call seriously.

Thank you for following my story through all 8 parts of The $953 Wake-Up Call.

My hope is that it inspires you to create your own breakthrough — whether in business, relationships, or personal growth.
