Biography
I would consider myself
A strategic thinker: imaginative and strategic thinker, with a plan for everything. I think that in order to tackle any issue, you need a plan, with no plan, you will fail miserably.
Socialite: I'm great at meeting people and building relationships. 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 arround me.
My early life
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 can't remember either of them ever complaining. 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.
Goals
I want to have a major impact. Whether it's out of a desire for legacy, or it's just some animalistic need to accrue resources, I don't know.I think most people feel similarly, and are just unable (or afraid) to articulate it. But coming to terms with your feelings seems necessary to satisfying them, so I'd rather put it out in the open.
The near term
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.
Wrap-up
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.If you'd like to contact me, for career-related reasons or otherwise, send me an email at saad@myoprocess.com Please follow up if I don't get back to you (I get a lot of spam).
