Video Interview

Bio

My name is Moustafa Hamwi, Dubai’s real-life of ‘The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari.’  One-way ticket to India, meeting a Swami out of 13 years in caves and natural healing from a diseases to become the Passionpreneur, an international speaker and coach helping people find and pursue passion

If you are looking for a maximum dose of passion that will transform your leadership style and bring more innovation into your business then I’m happy to help…

I’m a Passionpreneur and I want to show you how to become one

What is a Passionpreneur? I’ve always believed in being passionate and living a life to die for. Everything I do, I do whole heartedly in a non-compromising manner. After all, you only have one life to live so what are you waiting for? I’m the Passionpreneur and I want to show you how to become one.

I started my career in Dubai as a telesales operator working my way up to multinational corporations. I starting several entrepreneurial ventures that ended up developing into US$15 million businesses with 45 employees in less than 4 years.

I was also heavily involved in the nightlife scene. That lifestyle got me stressed, depressed and anxious. This was the beginning of my journey into personal development.

I moved into consulting for the government of Abu Dhabi on the world’s largest inaugural science festival with over 100,000 family members, yet I was still feeling empty. That triggered a one way trip to India where I spent time in the Himalayas with a Swami who had been meditating in caves for 13 years. But, it was discovering by coincidence that I had a ‘medically non-curable’ disease of which I healed naturally through a mixture of raw vegan diet, weeks of extensive meditation, energy healing and focus techniques.

Those incidents changed my life and woke me up to answer the questions:

If this was it…did my life matter?

What difference have I made to this world?

Did I fully live what was truly meaningful to me?

Did I do the best I can with all what I had?

The answer was simply NO. On all accounts! This triggered the beginning of my journey, seeking a fulfilling life worth dying for. Such a life is a balance of heart, mind, fun and business. The Passionpreneur was born!

At heart we all want to live a passionate life. And leave this planet in a better shape than when we found it. So when our day comes, we know it was a life worth dying for. Its just that we need support in making it happen, and this has become my mission, is to bring passion and purpose to life.

Passion is how the most advanced city in the world sprung from the desert sands of Dubai in less than 10 years. Passion is how Steve jobs put a dent in the universe. Passion is how Richard Branson started an empire and now wants to go to space. Passion is how Einstein made discoveries that changed the world.

And for that matter, passion is what made any major event that ever positively impacted this planet. Once you are passionate and fulfilled you will find your self overflowing with abundance that will impact the world positivity!

So if there is any thing that will make the world a better place it is passion…

Of course going on a journey to India and saying some sweet words is not enough to qualify me in providing you professional support. So, I invested an enormous amount of time and money, and still do every month, into getting all relevant qualifications and experiences that will further enable me in helping you on your journey. Whether you are an entrepreneur or a corporate leader, I deal with people and work on their minds to keep them inspired, passionate and focused. A Passionpreneur.

Below some of my relevant qualifications and experiences (there is a lot more that I don’t list. I’m simply an addict of learning and growth techniques).

The Passion Guy

Moustafa is known globally as The Passion Guy due to his amazing success in launching platforms that are empowering people to work & live passionately including a series of Passion Talks; and Passion Sundays the leading online passion & happiness talk show.

Introduction

Patti Hathaway is the CEO of The CHANGE AGENT and Preventing School Failure, Patti is a Business Advisor and Bestselling Author of 5 Books, she’s an expert in Customer and Employee Loyalty, Change Management and Communication Skills.

Patti’s expertise has been featured in the Harvard Management Update, New York Times, Entrepreneur Magazine, Sales and Marketing Excellence, Woman’s Day, American Way, Cosmopolitan, and numerous industry-specific journals.

School Failure Preventionist, Best-Selling Author of 5 Books

Patti Hathaway is a Business Advisor and best-selling author of 5 books. Her books have sold more than 100,000 copies worldwide and one of books has been used by 400 of the Fortune 500 companies. Patti’s expertise is based on real-life experience and the fact that she has surveyed thousands of people over her 20 years of business advising. She earned the Certified Speaking Professional designation from the National Speakers Association in 1994. Fewer than 7% of speakers worldwide have earned this designation for a proven track record of speaking excellence. Patti has the ability to change people’s thinking in order to achieve bottom-line results. Her expertise lies in the areas of interpersonal communication skills, managing change, leadership, and customer loyalty.

As a teacher, you have the toughest job in America as you are asked every day to wear many different hats – mom, dad, nurse, counselor, teacher, advisor, judge, jury, lawyer – just to name a few. Patti understands that students come into your classroom and school with different backgrounds and cultures and their cognitive abilities, assets and experiences are just as wide ranging. And it is true that much of the time your classrooms can’t compete with the “drama” in your students’ lives.

The biggest unchallenged assumption by many today (especially politicians) about education is that kids are coming to school willing and ready to learn. As educators, you know this is not the case. You have a generation of kids coming to your school basically un-socialized. Many students are learning behavior from Beavis and Butthead, MTV, YouTube, Jersey Shores and a myriad of other influences. Patti Hathaway knows there’s not much you can do from 4:00 PM until 8:00 AM but there is a lot you can do from 8:00 AM until 4:00 PM. She is dedicated to helping you be successful by giving you as many proven, practical strategies while motivating and making you laugh! Patti has spent years educating and entertaining audiences while most importantly sharing with them practical strategies. She is the best-selling author of 5 books that have collectively sold over 100,000 copies. She provides common sense techniques that teachers can take and use effectively in their classrooms – many of them immediately. Patti’s Masters Degree in Education from The Ohio State University was only the beginning of her lifelong interest in education and training. She loves to interact with amazing teachers who want to make a difference!

Q & A

Bio

Ahmed Al Kiremli is a Serial Entrepreneur, Business Advisor, Learning Junky and Efficiency Expert. He has founded many different Offline & Online Businesses, such as (IRAQI TOUCH) the first Iraqi food franchise in the world, (GAMES CORNER) an inventive gaming brand leveraging “dead space” within malls and subsequently franchised the concept, (CLIMB AND SLIDE) a kids playground franchise concept, (BEST MOVIE RATINGS) the world’s best movie ratings app, (AhmedAlKiremli.com) a consultancy business & blog, and (BeEfficient.Tv)

As an Entrepreneur, Efficiency Expert, Author and Business Maverick, Al Kiremli has worn many hats during his career. In the last decade alone he has created the world’s first Iraqi food franchise, a unique gaming brand, and undertaken or invested in myriad projects. Thanks to his perseverance, his innate belief that every day brings with it the opportunity to learn something new, and his ability to adapt and navigate any obstacles he encounters, he has made each of his “hats” fit. If you were to ask Ahmed Al Kiremli why he’s as successful as he is today, he’d tell you it’s because he’s failed in the past, and learned from those failures.

An endless seeker of knowledge, Al Kiremli holds an MBA from the University of Phoenix, AZ. Supplementing his acquired knowledge and experience through books, seminars and the mentorship of experts, he has managed to continue incorporating his love for learning into his everyday life. In his career, he has used this thirst for knowledge, both the acquiring and sharing of it, to straddle the line between corporate strategist and entrepreneur.

He has tackled such varied challenges as implementing strategic change within decades old companies to establishing and franchising his own Iraqi fast/casual dining brand (IRAQI TOUCH); the first Iraqi food franchise in the world. Along the way, he created an inventive gaming brand (Games Corner) leveraging “dead space” within malls and subsequently franchised the concept, provided tactical leadership to leading regional brands and used his in-depth knowledge of internet marketing to optimally position his brands. He continues to explore new concepts, either his own or unique investment opportunities, daily, and stays true to his overriding passion: to learn all he can, and share that knowledge with others.

Alongside this drive, Al Kiremli has kept striving to find the ideal balance between work and life, developing innovative methods of managing his ever increasing workload in ways that allow him to combine his love for life, and his love for work.  He has streamlined his operations through a combination of outsourcing and productive delegation among other methodologies, freeing up time to allow him to continue developing new concepts, and identifying new opportunities.

A firm believer in the principle that says the right mindset, a willingness to learn, persistence, and a belief in the dreams that drive us combined with the will to take action are the main keys to success means that Al Kiremli has developed a sixth sense which has led him to seizing opportunities others may discard. It’s by taking these educated risks that he’s succeeded, and today, he has taken his myriad talents and varied experience and combined what he has learn into the premise for his new book; one that deals with the ever important topic of transitioning from employee to efficient entrepreneur.

If you ask Al Kiremli what tomorrow will bring, he’ll tell you he doesn’t know; all he’s sure of is that whatever it is he’ll learn from it, grow, succeed and ensure it endures as part of his legacy. After all, for an entrepreneur who managed to find the time to acquire new skills, seek out and embrace new opportunities while maintaining balance in his life through creative management, all while becoming a professional squash player: anything’s possible.

About FailCon

Stop being afraid of failure and start embracing it.

FailCon is a one-day conference for technology entrepreneurs, investors, developers and designers to study their own and others’ failures and prepare for success.

We all have founded, worked for or invested in startups that have failed. We’re smart, we keep up with the latest in technology trends, but sometimes just don’t go as planned. How can you predict what will work and what won’t? Well, you can’t.

But that doesn’t mean you should stop trying. It just means you should start exchanging stories of what didn’t work and how you pivoted, why you couldn’t raise money, what the wrong hires were like, and when you decided it was time to let go. Entrepreneurs need to hear that from each other: that it’s okay to fail, it doesn’t mean you’re worthless. You’re just like the rest of us, learning from our making mistakes and building something bigger next time.

Our Story

FailCon was started in 2009 by Cass Phillipps, an event planner for startup events and Diane Loviglio, a founder of a cleantech startup.

We’d both produced or attended numerous events for the technology industry, but had begun to realize things were starting to get repetitive. Events put successful entrepreneurs on stage to talk about how they made their company great, something that’s near-impossible to replicate, and never about what they learned from mistakes along the way. In talking to other attendees, we saw this was a pretty universal opinion; and so we decided to work with the community and, together, make something stronger. Our first event launched with over 400 attendees, and we’ve continued to grow since then. We hope you’ll join us and add your unique story and experience to our own.

The post E13: How To Become A Leader, Inspire & Empower Employees And Use Mind Mapping To Plan & Think Efficiently – Interview with Graham Moore appeared first on 1on1 Business & Marketing Mentoring.

Here’s one example of the wrong crowd theory: Of the world’s workforce, more than 90 percent of these people are unwealthy employees; most of those people think that by following this path of work that they will become wealthy or will be able to live the way they want by having financial freedom. Less than 10 percent of the world’s workforce is considered wealthy.

These wealthy workers still don’t have the freedom to spend their time the way they want, because their minds are structured to work in the same way as all employees work but on a higher level or scale or position. That’s why you see many executives or CEOs of big companies enjoying big fat salaries but less freedom than lesser paid employees, because they are busting their asses to keep the chair that they are sitting on. The more you climb the corporate ladder, the more difficult it will become for you to live up to the responsibilities of the job that you have, so you become more aggressive in protecting the chair that you are sitting on. This is especially true when you have a family, a higher standard of lifestyle that you don’t want to lose, a big entitlement as an executive, and a title and position that you want to keep.

So are those people in the right crowd based on the outcome that they have planned? The answer is “no,” and the numbers and statistics are proving that. They are the crowd, they are the majority. It’s like the 80/20 rule, which when it’s applied to money, means that 20 percent of people have 80 percent of the money, and 80 percent of people have 20 percent of the money. Another meaning of the 80/20 rule is that 80 percent of your outcomes come from 20 percent of your inputs.

According to Wikipedia: “The principle was suggested by management thinker Joseph M. Juran. It was named after the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who observed that 80% of income in Italy was received by 20% of the Italian population. The assumption is that most of the results in any situation are determined by a small number of causes.”

We are always affected by the environment around us. Our parents wants us to be like their generation. They want us to be doctors or engineers, as that is what they think is the best path for us to take, despite our feelings, passion, and things that we want to do. So many people in the younger generations are choosing certain careers because their parents advised them one day to study hard, get good grades to go to the university in order to get a high-paying job later. This trend is forming our economy’s structure.

Regardless of how close you are to reaching your goals, if you are persistent but don’t have a plan, you will reach nowhere. It’s like if you’re going to visit a place in another country. No matter how hard you work on getting to that place, if you don’t have a map to guide you to place you want to reach, you will never get there.

You need to find your own path and focus on it, focus on what you do best, which is the 20 percent, not the 80 percent. Let the crowd follow you instead of you following the crowd. Usually, leaders go somewhere that nobody has been before. So let the people follow you. If you want to be a leader, then start leading now; block the voice inside you that’s saying “me me me first.” Put the people that you are leading first and start leading them by example.

In the movie of your life, you need to be the director. You need to be yourself. You need to distinguish yourself from others and have your own character, so people will recognize you. Most of the names are similar, but people are different, so you need to be different. Think this way: Be unique, be innovative, be yourself, and focus on what you do best.

You always need to be in control of your life. You need to keep the joystick of your life game in your hand, especially if you want to be an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs always take risks, because they want to be in control. They want to be in control of their lives, their paths, and their freedom. Employees will never be in control of their lives. They can be fired anytime and lose everything, because their lives are revolving around only one stream of income, which is their salary.

So stop following the crowd. Be unique, be innovative, be yourself, and focus on what you do best; become a leader, and let the crowed follow you.
