The Journey and the Importance of Action

Hello everyone! Its been a while and a LOT of changes have occurred which have taken a huge amount of time to implement. However, the changes have all been worth it and let me share you the experiences we have had:
- Cash flow problems (due to a business partner moving out of Karachi)
- Social media page hacked (158,000 followers and potential customers lost)

Moreover, on a personal level, one year ago I had a cushy job with all the "perks", yet I was miserable inside. Each day I felt like shooting myself in the head! Yet for years I had continued on with my misery and had become somewhat comfortable with it!
I had started teaching to the youth as a side gig with my job and in one of the courses I had to skim through a lot of high performers (ranging from entrepreneurs to politicians) and I found out that they only had one trait in common: THEY TOOK ACTION!!!!!

I started taking actions in baby steps first and was amazed by the results! As I got more comfortable, the steps increased and here is a summary:
- Quit my job
- Started a side gig as a teacher at KnS Institute of Business Studies
- Worked on photography and digital art more (brands started working with us)
- We opened up an international branch of Pi Studio spearheaded by the talented Mr. Hussain Zaidi

All of these things were possible due to:
- the teamwork at Pi Studio (who taught me that misery is a choice)
- Our collective desire in the studio to take action!
- Learning entrepreneurship and being proactive from the principal of KnS Institute of Business studies (Mr. Sajid)

So get out there and start DOING what you SPEAK and DREAM about, as the great Sir Richard Branson has said:
"Screw it, let's do it"
