An intuitive introvert: I tend to focus my inner thoughts, ideas, and feelings rather than the outside world. I enjoy thinking deeply and I prefer alone time, and have a natural ability to sense patterns, connections, or possibilities.
Socialite: I can balance introspection with social charm, Carl Jung would consider this my other "self". I'm usually referred to as "outgoing" or "charming" and my friends are often impressed at how easily I strike up conversations with strangers, and how comfortable and opened they feel around me (especially women).
Thanks to my parents, love them to death, i had a really calm and trauma-free childhood, They were gracious enough to never let me "in need" of anything. They worked their jobs, often fourteen or fifteen hours a day, yet still found moments to spend with me in the evenings or early mornings. I was fed books since a young age which is why I think I've managed to be such a great thinker and a great writer. Growing up, I was a very confident kid who played sports and chess. I was considered a "Chad," and as cringe as that might sound, I always had a lot of attention from the opposite sex, which really helped me develop my communication skills and learn how to talk to people.
If I could command attention just by standing there, imagine what I could do if I went all-in on my vision?
I worked as a bouncer for several years, It was traumatic years—really. But I was known as that guy. The one who could command attention just by walking into a room. It didn’t matter if I said a word—people noticed. When I was working as a bouncer, it became even more obvious. Standing at the door, watching over the crowd, I realized I had a presence that people couldn’t ignore. But back then, that attention wasn’t about what I could do or what I stood for. It was just surface-level noise.
“Saad? Yeah, he’s the guy who can pull anyone he wants.”
“Man, I wish I had it like you, bro.”
I heard it over and over. And for a while, I let it slide. Maybe part of me even leaned into it. But after a while, I started asking myself, Is this really it? Is this all people are going to know me for?
I didn’t want to be the guy who just turned heads at the door. I wanted to be the guy who made moves, built something real, and left a legacy. Because I knew deep down—I wasn’t about showing off. I was about showing up.
That’s when I decided to lock into business mode. No distractions. No shortcuts. I took everything I learned from watching people—how they move, what they respond to, what drives them—and I funneled it a building a new identity of someone I aspired to be, I devoured every book I could get my hands into it, specifically the works of Carl Gustav Jung, and my hero Charlie Munger.
I want to have a major impact. And it's definetly a part of the process of my individuation, I'll write a book called "Liber Flavus", where I will include all my memories, dreams memoir, and reflections, this is where I want to get my status from.
In the next few years, money will obviously be important, so I'm acquiring more of it. I set a realistic goal of $3M in annual profit simply because selling a company of that size guarantees retirement. It would also let me take care of my family and my close friends.
I hope you now know a little bit more about me and why I do the things that I do! This list wasn't exhaustive—I've began a variety of other businesses, and had a handful of temporary jobs—but none were particularly remarkable and I wanted to keep things brief. It goes without saying, but omitted here are a tremendous number of personal and professional relationships I've made that have shaped my worldview considerably.
One important thing I learned about myself while doing this exercise is how much each of my career milestones have revolved around specific people.
My most successful companies were ones where I partnered strong and early. So I'm going to make it a goal to consciously build those kinds of relationships as often as possible, and put myself in situations where serendipity is more likely to occur.
