Ramadan Mubarak to all of you! Today let's talk about NEW WAYS of setting goals that instantly can improve your life & career! Smart Goals & Ramadan 2020 Redefine how success looks for you: for both Ramadan this year, and your Personal Brand, success doesn't need to look like everyone else's. Figure out what you truly want to achieve and even if that is different to the norm, set your goals according to your personality, unique life & visions. Go the unconventional ways: to achieve your spiritual goals & your career goals, you should explore ways that are not conventional. Remember: if you want unconventional results, you need to go unconventional ways. That doesn't mean you need to innovate, but figure out what works for you, even if that looks weird to others. Figure out what defines you: you need to pivot according to what you want deep down. What's the legacy you want to leave and what do you have to do right now to achieve it?  Leave your comments here.

Do you know this feeling:  "How come I tried so much, but until now I can't find anything that truly fits me?"   Chances are, you went many paths. You started crossing many bridges. But you never really went ALL the way through.  You went back  You know if you go forward 50% and return again, that takes the same 100% energy that it would take you to go through ALL THE WAY across the bridge, to find out if that path is really not for you.   You stopped before you could find if it REALLY fits you or not.  You gave up before you could learn the essential knowledge to apply to any other field.  No knowledge is ever wasted.   You can always apply some of the things to your business, brand or life.  So next time, instead of starting and stopping halfway across the bridge, just go all the way through!    Exception: you can jump off one and land halfway through the other bridge and just keep going.   Leave your comment below: What is the passion t
