You like it or not . It’s just my own thoughts

Are my thoughts of any value?

Perhaps some might see them as trivial—a bit of nonsense— others might find them impactful and useful. But one thing is certain: they are my thoughts. I have read a lot and gone through countless experiences that I can't even begin to enumerate.

I have a passion for learning, and I always feel like I need to learn more. "Empty your cup"—one of the first principles and ideas I came across a long, long time ago. I think it was even before my days with QNet. Oh, those days! A dream that took up about two years of my life—and I don’t regret a single moment of it. I was reading a lot and felt like I was part of something where, if I put in the effort and persisted, I could achieve financial freedom. Back then, I didn’t see any other path that could lead me to relatively quick wealth. I saw people around me who had succeeded—young, influential individuals who encouraged their teams to learn, take action, step out of their comfort zones, and grow. And there I was, right in the center of my comfort zone, but I tried hard, struggled a lot, and always felt like I was so far behind. I wanted to learn more and more, hoping that one day I could become "convincing" and influential. The idea of being a team leader always excited me, especially the feeling of knowing more than someone else and being able to teach them. It was a distant idea for me, but it pushed me to put in a tremendous amount of effort, time, and money. Honestly, what I gained from that experience wasn’t money at all 🥳🥳. I managed to convince two people to join my team—they had natural persuasive abilities far stronger than mine—but neither of them put in the effort or worked on the project. And even though I was very convinced that I would succeed one day, I always had this caution and fear that the company might turn out to be a scam. Even in my presentations and conversations, I always warned that I wasn’t 100% confident in it.

Thankfully, after about two years of hard work, reading, and enthusiasm, the company shut down in Egypt and was exposed in a huge scandal, so I completely stopped working with them, of course. Oh, how Aunt Zaza would have gloated over me! ( Egyptian joke ) I talked to so many people, both within and outside my usual circles—my wife, relatives, friends, acquaintances, strangers I met by chance on public transport, or even people standing in line with me. I even reconnected with old schoolmates just to talk to them and convince them… Oh my… I don’t think I was ever naturally persuasive 😅. I’m sure if someone else had put in even a fifth of the effort I did, they would have achieved much more success—like my wife (it’s true, she’s always been incredibly convincing and influential with everyone around her—but only once she’s convinced herself first 😂). Of course, it goes without saying that she wasn’t even one in a million convinced by the idea.

Oh, what an experience! But it was useful because I did things I never imagined I could do and learned so much—I think it might benefit me in the future, or maybe not—I’m not really sure, to be honest.

I think I’ve rambled on too much this time. I don’t want to bore you with my very first post here… I’ll see you in the next one.
