As 2018 ends, it’s time to look back at what I have learnt and what are my achievements over the past year.

Even though I have shared things I have learnt in my first year of business, not only a lot has changed since then, but I have also learnt a heck of a lot too.

Being deaf/hard of hearing means there is certain information I struggle to access.

Since my business (and let’s face it, my personal life) revolves around being online, having the likes of accurate subtitles/captions and good quality audio is essential for me in order to be able to consume video/audio-based content.

Too many times I have had to cancel listening to a podcast or watching a video within seconds after starting because of terrible audio or lack of captions or transcripts.

How Do You Start a Business? By Getting a Job First

One of the most popular questions people ask business owners is “how can I start my own business?”

And it’s a good question because there isn’t a textbook answer to this.

One of my previous blog posts is about the 52 things I have learnt in my first year in business.

Point 16 is: “the knowledge and experience from your previous jobs can help your business to succeed”.

I am a big believer in the value of full-time employment, whether you want to start a business or not.

My ‘Let Go’ Story: How Letting Go Can Make a Dramatic Difference to Your Life

28th August 2017 - By Ahmed Khalifa - Tagged With: personal

Blog post about how letting go of your fear can make a huge difference in your life?

For many years, I have been living with a challenge which affects my day-to-day life.

It’s something that we all take for granted. And it’s also something that is almost invisible to everyone else.

I have a hearing problem, so obviously I don’t hear as well as the average person.

And I tell you, I bloody hate it.

Other People’s Success is Not As Sexy As it Appears

Header image about how other people's success is not how it appears to be

One thing I have noticed over the past year after starting my own business is the number of people who boast about their supposedly successful businesses.

You know the kind.

“Hey, look at my car which I earned by only working a few hours a week”

“Check out the beach that I live on”

“I love my life…I can take a 6-month holiday because I have my own business”

“OMG, I lost count how many zeros I have in my bank account”

Seriously?!

Screenshot of Troy Hunt's blog post entitled "Don't Take Security Advice from SEO Experts or Psychics"

Just a quick backstory on what I want to talk about in this post.

There was a story written by Troy Hunt on his site about not taking security advice from SEO experts and psychics.

I urge you to read it…it’s fascinating. It can make you laugh, it can make you cry.

But also shows what is wrong with the SEO industry.
