Everything that is
faced cannot be
changed
But nothing can be
changed unless it is
faced

4 Fundamental Laws
1. Fundamental Laws are fixed and
change for no man (or woman)
2. Fundamental Laws always give the
same result
3. You didnt make it, you cant break it
4. To benefit you have to pay the price

Only those who follow them, can succeed

Success Cycle
Passion

Expertise

Success Cycle

What are you most passionate about?

Are you best in the world at doing
that?
What is your return from it?

Success is not magic

It is the result of intelligent effort

The 9 Keys
1. Connect to Allah 5. Courage
2. Discipline &

6. Entrepreneurship

Mental Toughness
3. Passion
4. Differentiate

7. Perseverance

8. Inspire others
9. Measure results

To benefit you have to pay the price

We must all suffer from

one of two things: The
pain of discipline or the
pain of regret.

1. Connect to Allah

Aqeeda
Taqwa Stay away from the doubtful
Shari'ah wal Sunnah
Tahajjud & Nawaafil
Akhlaaq wa Muaamilaat

To have power you have to connect to the source

10

2. Discipline, Toughness

Discipline is to accept that success is

inevitable but only for those who want it
seriously
Discipline is to do what needs to be done
not only what you like to do
Toughness is in the mind. Tiredness is a state
of mind, not body

Nobody knows the best that he can do

11

3. Passion for the goal

Great success needs heroic effort

Passion fuels heroic effort
Passion is to revel in the journey
Passion means total commitment
Passion is highly infectious

Quality is the only reliable sign of Passion

12

4. Differentiate

Differentiation creates Brand

Brand creates loyalty & Loyalty
enables influence
Structure & Prioritization

Without brand, you are a grain

of rice in a sack

13

5. Courage

To care more than others think is wise

To risk more than others think is safe
To challenge yourself unnecessarily
Pick your battles because not
everything is worth fighting for

Leverage yourself out of the competition

14

6. Entrepreneurship

Recognize opportunity
Leverage assets
Mobilize support
Create a revenue stream
Return to the environment

Is another word for accountability

15

7. Perseverance

Those who win the race are often

those who stayed in it long enough
To own mistakes and learn from them
To generate alternatives infinitely
To take the pain

To persevere is never to give up

16

Structured learning

Rovio made Angry Birds and people said,

Wow! it's an overnight success.
Actually they'd been around for eight years
and it was their 52nd game.
They succeeded because they consciously
learned from each game 51 times

What do you do with mistakes?

17

8. Inspire others

Because you cant succeed alone

Do because of who you are, not
because of who is watching
Convert one way to two way (WiiFM)

Because only the inspired can inspire

18

9. Measure Results

Because success is a number

Because it is eminently possible to fool
yourself metrics are the protection
Metrics energize and encourage
Metrics are the early warning system
Measure yourself relentlessly

Only what you can measure, exists

19

Life is Math

Life is an equation

2+4=6

We control one side of it only but by

changing the number we write, we can
get the result we want

Life is Math

Think of any interaction as an equation

We control only one side, but.

It has two sides which produce the outcome

What happens on either side affects the outcome
We can choose whatever outcome we want

Being proactive is to try to affect both sides

Being proactive is about sustained effort

It is about building a reputation of integrity

Development is a product of thought, not time

There are two kinds of

people in the world - those
who seek ways to succeed
and those who talk about
why they can't succeed.

In the final analysis: It all

matters everything that
you do or choose not to
do, communicate brand
value and character.
