Akbar Sheikh helps entrepreneurs ethically scale to 7-figures.

Akbar shares how focusing on these basics transformed him from homeless to a top 1% earner.   Mikkel Thorup & Akbar Sheikh at FHL 2018 in Orlando, FL. . WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW: The romantic notion of an entrepreneur working 24 hours a day 7 days a week, never sleeping, and hustle-hustle-grind-grind around the clock is not a sustainable approach. Akbar Sheikh recommends balance and he has some very strong opinions on how to get it. Make sure to listen to the complete episode to learn how these seemingly basic fundamentals can propel you and your business forward. In this interview Akbar Sheikh also shares some of his secrets on how he helps businesses to scale to 7 figures fast, using what he calls the 7 ethical principles of persuasion. He uses these principles to walk into an existing business and "fixes things up". He uses a great analogy of a house and how with the right modifications you too can scale your business to 7 figures.   HOW TO FIND AKBAR'S WORK: You can learn more about Akbar Sheikh at https://akbarsheikh.com   SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER If you’d been receiving the EMS Pulse newsletter and the weekly Expat Sunday Times, you would have already read the basics of today's story!
