Additionally, the New Think Initiative, which I established and developed over a period of 6 years, won the Arab Social Media Award from Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum in Dubai.

Initiatives

I invested in ideas from young entrepreneurs, and I provided financial support, mentorship, and networking, and I launched initiatives and social programs at Al-Jude to influence and motivate

Adventure

My influence continues to grow, and my ideas and goals become clearer and more developed, because I live by the words of Gibran Khalil Gibran: “Don’t live half a life”

A Day In My Life

You're one decision away
from a totally different life.

  • Going back to school.
  • Starting a business.
  • Having more confidence.
  • Feeling happier.
  • Falling in love.
  • Finding your passion.

Enough was enough.

Have you ever felt so stuck you wanted to give up? Well, that was me. One night, I was drowning my sorrows in bourbon, feeling like the world's biggest loser, when suddenly a rocket shot across my TV screen during a commercial and it gave me a crazy idea - what if, when the alarm rang, instead of thinking, I launched myself out of bed like a rocket.

I tried something simple
and it changed my life.

The next morning, when the alarm rang, instead of laying there thinking about all my problems, I started counting. Backwards.

  • 5
  • 4
  • 3
  • 2
  • 1

The change was instant.

Looking back, it all makes sense. 5-4-3-2-1 helped me close the gap between thinking and doing. And by just taking action, my confidence grew.

5 seconds change everything.

In five seconds flat, I stopped thinking and started moving forward. I stopped listening to the garbage in my mind and started thinking positive. Over time, I not only gained self-awareness and self-confidence - I discovered the simple secret to changing your life. I call it The 5 Second Rule.

Learn more

Your life is defined by the gap between what happens to you and your reaction to it.

your reaction

What's happening

your excuses

The 5 Second Rule closes the gap between thinking about what needs to be done and actually doing it.
