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).

Bio

TEDxBaghdad is initiated by Yahay Alabdeli, an Iraqi refugee who lives in Amsterdam. His life story is an impressive one. Both sad and optimistic. At the first meeting of the project group for TEDxBaghdad Yahay tells us about his life.

Start of Iran-Iraq War

Yahay Alabdeli moved from Iraq in 1979, when he was only 4 years old. His family lost everything in just a few hours. Yahay tells: “My mother picked me up from school. We saw soldiers in the streets. They took everything, including my father. My father, a businessman, was supposed to have a meeting on the economic future of Iraq. This meeting was supposed to take half an hour. It became 6 months. They took him to prison. They left my mother, my brother (who was 1 year old) and me (4 years) behind. They told my mother to go to her parents. So we did.”

“One evening two men came to the door. They said to my mother that she needed to prepare her two kids for a trip. They wanted to take us to our father in prison, because boys are supposed to stay with their father. Girls stay with their mother. My mother said: “Come back tomorrow. I’ll prepare their bags.” The same second she took a taxi with us in the evening, with no luggage, to Kuwait. We stayed there for a year. Then we heard about my father’s whereabouts.”

Out of prison

“When my father got out of prison, they took him to the border between Iraq and Iran. He got three options. They said: “If you go right, there are landmines. If you go left there’s the Iraqi war and straight ahead there’s Iran.” He walked for three days. Without water or food. Plus, he carried his mother of 90 years old. After a day people couldn’t wear their clothes, because they felt so heavy. And my father had his mother to carry. Incredible. For me it’s a great story on how you can make it, stand up again and be a human again,” says Yahay.

Europe

“So, we didn’t know about my father for almost a year. Eventually, we met him in Syria. We became a family again and we moved to Sweden. That’s where I grew up.

I lived there for about 18 years. My family and friends live there. I have a Swedish nationality. We lived in a small village of 4.000 people. If I changed my t-shirt, everyone would know! We were the only foreign family.”

“Since about ten years I live in The Netherlands. Love brought me here.”

Ahmed Al Kiremli – Entrepreneur, investor, International Speaker, Startup & Business Advisor, Efficiency Expert, Movies Critic and Author

About Ahmed Al Kiremli 

As an Entrepreneur, Efficiency Expert, Author and Business Advisor, I’ve worn many hats during my life. I’m the Author of the Coming Soon Book The Transition from Employee to Efficient Entrepreneur, I’m also the Founder of Several Brands in Different Industries like Be Efficient Tv, IRAQI TOUCH Restaurant, Games Corner a Unique Gaming Franchise, Best Movie Ratings App, Climb and Slide Kids Playground, Plan Design Market Digital Marketing Service, and undertaken or invested in myriad projects.

I now Manage all My Businesses from my Sofa at Home or from Anywhere in the World, I Enjoy Writing, Speaking, and Consulting, I live in Dubai, I Used to Be Iraqi no.1 Squash Player for 7 Years, Played 10 Years for the National Team & Still Playing Squash in Dubai League & Some Other Tournaments. I Love Learning, Business & Life Efficiency, Productivity Tools, Adding Value, Challenges, Legacy, The Internet, Movies, Restaurants and Squash.

I Teach Individuals & Organisations how to Be 10x More Efficient in their Business & Life with the Minimum Amount of Time, Effort and Cost, also How to Acquire & Leverage new Skills & Opportunities and Maintain a Healthy Work-Life Balance. Learn More About Me >>>

I Speak about Business & Life Efficiency, Productivity, Entrepreneurship, Personal Finance, Digital Marketing, Outsourcing and Branding. Check my Availablity >>>

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.

What Ahmed Al Kiremli says about himself?

When working with someone, I believe it is important for you to know a little bit about that someone. If you are not already familiar with me, my name is Ahmed Al Kiremli. As an entrepreneur, I have started several of my own businesses. I am also an investor as well as an efficiency expert to individuals and companies. In that capacity, I am also frequently called upon to provide mentorships to CEOs and other individuals.

One of the questions that I am frequently asked is what exactly is it that I do. My specialty lies in seeking out new, innovative and more efficient ways to improve business processes as well as everyday life habits. This is an area in which I am intimately familiar. I know whereof I speak. By implementing such efficiency methods and business processes in my own life and career, I have been fortunate enough to experience a high degree of success, including establishing a variety of brands, such as the first Iraqi franchise restaurant in the world (IRAQI TOUCH). Other business enterprises that I have founded include the world’s best movie ratings app (Best Movie Ratings), a kids’ playground concept (Climb and Slide), and a unique video gaming brand (Games Corner).

Needless to say, I have worn many hats during the course of my career and I am continually seeking out and exploring new endeavors on an international and local basis. At the same time, I also continue to look for new and innovative ways in which I can become more efficient.

It is precisely those techniques that I teach to clients in my efficiency consultancy business. You see, I believe that we all have dreams, goals, and desires. We all want to do more. The differentiating factor that results in some people being able to accomplish those goals while others only dream about them is that some people are able to overcome obstacles and work more efficiently while others are not. I strongly believe that every day brings with it the opportunity to learn something new. I have certainly faced many challenges in my own life, yet I continued to persevere, and adapt to any challenges that came way. At some point, we have all failed in the past. I have had my own share of failures, yet I learned something from each of those failures.

Many people call themselves lifelong learners. I think of myself as an endless seeker of knowledge. Along with holding an MBA from the University of Phoenix, I continue to supplement my knowledge and experience with seminars, books (an average of 2 books per week), and expert mentors. Today, I deploy that same thirst for knowledge as a way to not only enhance my own education but also to share it.

As an efficiency consultant, I teach others how to find the time necessary to acquire new skills, how to not only seek out but embrace each day’s new opportunities, and maintain a healthy balance in life through creative management. I not only believe that anything is possible; I can show you how to achieve it.

Bio

In a nutshell…

Realising quickly that a £40,000+ investment in university and professional exams to become a lawyer wasn’t going to provide me with the quick return on investment that I thought it would or the lifestyle to go with it, I was motivated to leave my high-paid job in London to learn how to start and grow a business on the Internet.

The first business I got into after leaving my job when I turned 23 in 2008 was a small online franchise that I bought from a franchise exhibition in London. I ran it successfully and profitably for just under 2 years before deciding that I could ‘go it alone’ without piggy backing off an existing brand or a ‘business in a box’ that anyone could buy.

Since then, I have built up my own brands with products and services that are sold around the world today. Online marketing is what got me started in this industry and that is still the core product of all my businesses which is now evolving into buying and selling online businesses to expand and grow faster than ever before.

Remember that kid at school who was always selling stuff to the other kids out of his locker and in the playground? Yep, that was me.

The longer story…

When I was 15, I was fascinated by the fact that I could buy something for £1 and sell it for £2 to somebody else who wanted the same thing but didn’t know how to get it for themselves. This simplified concept of business is how I became an accidental entrepreneur whilst still at school and started thinking about all the other things that I could apply this same principle to! It wasn’t long before I was ‘supplying’ all sorts of things to kids in the playground (nothing dodgy, all above board!). I was a jack-of-all-trades and master of nothing at first, but then I really drilled into my niche – selling posters of then-famous boy bands to girls at school. I had found my hungry market of buyers who would, quite literally, buy anything with a boy band picture or slogan on it.

I had no idea that what I was doing was running a ‘business’. It all made sense years later when I started a real business in the real world!

On my way to school on Monday morning, I’d spend all my lunch money on out-of-date pop star magazines such as Top of The Pops and Smash Hits which I bought cheaply (because they were out of date!) thanks to a little deal I did with the newsagent near the school. He didn’t know I was reselling the posters inside the magazines, I think he was just happy to get rid stock that he couldn’t sell otherwise! By the end of the week i’d have my initial investment back and a profit on top.

When I look back and connect the dots, it looks and sounds like a real business: I had found myself a few suppliers of my product, had a loyal customer base, had ‘staff’ (i.e. my friends) who would deliver the posters and collect the payment from the customers (i.e. the girls in the playground) in return for a percentage of every sale. All I had to do as the ‘business owner’ was keep up the relationships with my suppliers and keep my customers happy by meeting their demand for the latest posters of the Backstreet Boys and Take That!

This carried on for a while before I got into doing the same thing online. I bought domains on the Internet and sold them to whoever offered me more for them and continued to be fascinated that I could buy something for one price and sell it to someone else for a different price. I still didn’t know that this was business and it all only made sense when I look back on it now.

All of this fun stopped after my GCSEs and I started my journey down the academic path to a ‘secure’ job and a career as a lawyer. I studied hard, got my grades at school and then my Law degree. I tried to start businesses whilst at university but nothing really worked out. I successfully applied for a Subway franchise during my 2nd year at uni and had agreed in principle to open the store on the student campus where thousands of students gathered every day for lunch. It was a sure thing with guaranteed profits for many years to come. I had the franchise paperwork ready, contracts ready to sign, dates for training….and then the bank told me I couldn’t have the £30,000 loan I applied for (the actual Subway franchise fee was less than £10,000, the rest was for fitting out the store). I was gutted and I remember phoning home to say that I wasn’t going to be opening the first Subway store on campus. I had my heart set on doing this and but for the lack of money, I would have done it. I wasn’t upset for too long though because it was a Thursday that I got rejected by the bank and that means student night at uni – time to forget that I just had my first failure in business!

I focused on my Law degree after that and went on to pass my LPC at The College of Law in London with a Commendation in 2007. With no gap year or break I started working at top city law firms in London with a great salary for a graduate and a potentially greater legal career ahead.

I was good at my job but I didn’t love it. I didn’t have the same passion for practicing law that I thought I had and I quickly started to lose interest in my job after nearly 2 years of working. I decided to ‘take a break’ and see what other opportunities were out there to start a business or do something else. Naturally, I looked for ways to start a business on the Internet and that’s when I found this whole industry.

I applied the same principles that I learned back in school about business, i.e. to keep it simple and not over complicate the process of doing business. Today, I have built a training and consultancy business as well as various done-for-you service businesses with clients all around the world.

Some of my achievements:

• spoken at conferences and seminars to over 10,000+ people in 7 countries
• participated in a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS record-breaking event
• developed a respected and growing client base in the UK, Dubai, Australia, South Africa and USA
• took part in a joint venture that generated £100,000 in sales in 24 hours (read about it here)
• Skydived and walked on fire to raise money for charities that I support
• built a passionate team to work with spread across 4 countries
• travelled 150,000 miles around the world

My focus at the moment is on the following:

• consulting and training businesses around the world on their online marketing strategies to get more clients online
• building new businesses with passionate teams in place which add value to new and existing clients
• teaching other entrepreneurs how they can use the Internet to replace their job income and live the lifestyle that they want

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.
