Nabeel was in a tailspin. Covid had just wiped out his business's entire pipeline and on top of that his wife was expecting their first child in a couple months.

In his own words:

"I was completely lost.

I was paralyzed with feelings of anxiety and helplessness, even to the point of contemplating quitting my own business and getting a job."

A rough spot for any entrepreneur to be in.

Here's the thing, if anyone knows how to overcome challenges it's Nabeel. He was born deaf and never let that get in his way.

But the chaos of 2020, the collapse of his business and the prospect of not being able to provide for his soon to be born daughter made him lose sight of who he IS.

So we got to work.

Not on any technical aspects of his business, but on the much more crucial meta-skill of helping him "get out of his own way."

By reminding him what he's already overcome in the past, re-centering his focus and pushing him to demand greatness of himself, he quickly realized that someone of his caliber is absolutely capable of conquering these challenges.

And in 12 weeks he made a total shift. 

He created a crystal clear game plan on his next steps and was able to push through all the doubts.

He stepped up and became the man he wanted to be... Not just for himself, but for his wife and future daughter.

"I went from being lost and helpless to being determined and disciplined. 

I won't go into the tactics, but I was able to re-center myself, overcome my limiting beliefs, and use fear as a motivation tool to push forward instead of allowing it to paralyze me. 

In terms of business revenue, the results were amazing. For a stretch of several months in 2020, I made exactly zero money. 

After Itamar's coaching, I have been pulling in between 10-20k MRR -- and that's as a one-man shop AND as a new dad to a baby girl."

As a new father myself, I understood the pressure he felt and it was such a privilege to be in his corner and watch him rise up into the man his family needed. 

Nabeel is a powerful example of what people can achieve when they decide to step up and say to themselves "Yes, fear and external circumstances will challenge me, but I won't let them stop me!"

And now that he's armed with that ultimate meta-skill of being able to blast through emotional hardships and challenges this is how he sees the future:

"My next steps are to scale up and add more people to my team, so I could reduce my hours while growing my business. I have EVERY CONFIDENCE that I will be able to reach the next level because, thanks to Itamar's coaching, I have the tools and fundamentals to do that.

I now have a foundation of mindset and accountability that has already been bringing me to the next level in both business and personal growth. With only 3 months of coaching I was able to achieve more personal growth than I was able to on my own in the last 10 years. 

I'm making 20k MRR and I'm not actively taking on new clients, but instead putting them on a waiting list"

While Nabeel's business growth is amazing, seeing him look so proud and confident with his family is the real win.

Suffered a Crash? Here's How You Can Bounce Back

If Nabeel's story feels familiar you can take a note from his playbook and:

1. ACCEPT that crashes are an inevitable part of life and don't let them define or defeat you.
2. Ask "What would someone with my abilities/skills do if they stopped feeling scared, got focused and aggressively executed?" 
3. Wake up to the fact that you're capable of conquering life's challenges, figure out the most impactful first step and TAKE ACTION.

Who dares wins,
