Journey Begins
Hello everyone, and welcome to my blog! My name is Asad Zahid, and I am excited to share my journey with you as I embark on an incredible adventure of learning and building a tech business from scratch.
A Legacy of Business and a Passion for Technology
Coming from a family of business owners, I have always been fascinated by the entrepreneurial world. Growing up, I saw firsthand the impact and significance of owning a business. Parallel to this, my passion for technology was ignited by witnessing its rapid evolution and transformative power. I knew I wanted to be part of this evolution, to create something that could potentially change the world.
My Current Understanding of Business and Technology
Despite my deep-rooted interest, my formal knowledge of business is quite limited. My primary insights come from a few influential books I’ve read, such as "Rich Dad Poor Dad" and "The Lean Startup." These books taught me the importance of hard work, having a plan, and the inevitability of change.
As for technology, I hold a bachelor's degree in IT. However, I have yet to do anything with it on a large scale, this hasn’t deterred me; instead, it has fueled my determination to build a tech business focusing on software development and eventually expanding into areas like cybersecurity.
Overcoming Challenges and Embracing the Unknown
Starting a business is daunting, and my journey is fraught with challenges. My limited knowledge in both business and technology, coupled with my unfamiliarity with the market and culture, are significant hurdles. Yet, these challenges excite me. They represent a fantastic opportunity for growth and learning, pushing me out of my comfort zone.
What keeps me motivated is the vision of creating something huge, something that I have never done before. The prospect of financial success is also a driving factor, but more than that, it's the thrill of the journey and the challenges that come with it.
Sharing My Journey: Blogs, Videos, and Social Media
I am committed to documenting every step of this journey. Through regular blog posts, videos on my YouTube channel, and updates on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram, I aim to share my experiences, insights, and lessons learned. My goal is not only to document this journey for my own good but also to inspire others who might be on a similar path.
The Road Ahead
The journey ahead is long and will undoubtedly require a tremendous amount of work. I understand that there is no "right time" to start a business; instead, I must create the right time through perseverance and effort. "The Lean Startup" taught me that failures are part of the process. Start your journey, work on your product or service, and refine it as you go.
Seeking Mentorship
One crucial aspect I’ve learned is the value of mentorship. An intelligent mentor with expertise in both technology and business could be incredibly beneficial. Unfortunately, finding such a mentor, has been challenging. Nevertheless, I remain hopeful and continue my search, knowing that the right guidance could significantly impact my success.
