This blog post ideally should have been my first post, but as the proverb says “Better Late Than Never”, here I am with some ‘me’ factor.

While writing this post, I’m wondering where to start narrating my journey from, what are the points of my life – professional, personal, struggle’s, low’s, high’s, etc that I should talk about (because I don’t want to make it very long that you fall asleep before you even reach halfway :-) ) and eventually how/why online marketing happened.

‘me’ bio
Okie … my full name is Abizer Nalwala – one of the lucky few to find a domain by my first name www.abizer.com :-) and that was by chance. I am 31 years old, married to my lovely wife for 3 years now & living in England, UK since the past 7 years. By qualification I am a computer engineer with a decade of international work experience. I am currently associated with a telecom company as a project manager in their software department. I have been blessed with a nice family and some really good friends for life.

‘me’ family
My wonderful parents struggled all their life and made a lot of sacrifices to give both children (my younger brother & me) proper education; … My younger brother, who supports me through all my high’s and low’s and is sacrificing his career to live in the same city/country as my parents do, so he can take care of them while I’m away; … My lovely sister-in-law who comes from a completely different background supports my brother and family while pursuing her degree in law; … My beautiful wife who patiently tolerates ‘me’ and also cooks various cuisines for me (since I am a foodie person :-) ); … And it does not stop here, I have a bunch of really really good friends that have stood by my side through thick and thin …

What more blessing can I expect? However I should work for the rest :-) …


‘me’ weaponology
I believe everyone is blessed with something – be it family, friends, a lot of money, etc … the point I am trying to make is this …
… use this as a weapon. Every day, at least once, think of what you are blessed with (if you believe in God then thank God) … because in this life of competition, such adverse economic climate prevailing in most parts of the world, and other events happening around us, it’s very easy to forget what we are blessed with and people who are important to us while we keep running for something or the other … more money, better job, bigger house, etc. This reminder helps us “focus”, gives us the much required “positive” attitude to keep moving forward in spite of all difficulties and do things for the right reasons.

‘me’ here for
Financial freedom for my family & me. I am ambitious, so even though I am blessed, I need to work hard to realize my dreams – I think my family deserves more i.e. a life with less or no struggle, tour around the world, I want my brother to setup his own business … and the list goes on. Oh yeah – and did I mention I would also like to own a condo on the Caribbean Island and a Rolls Royce :-)

‘me’ struggle
I am buried under a good amount of debt (as I write this blog post in May 2010 due to unexpected circumstances) and don’t want to take a lifetime to settle this. As days, weeks & months pass by the debt increases because the inflow remains the same whereas outflow increases with time. So that’s a good reason to look for some secondary income to start with and then once its consistent I could possibly make it the primary income stream. But what’s it going to be? I had no clue a few weeks back.

Secondly, I always observe that people have goals in their life, a vision and are so passionate about it … use to always wonder why don’t I have a passion for anything? So I was searching for something that I would love doing, wanted to discover my passion & have my vision.

Thirdly, both my wife & me, want to live with our family, have a family business and spend the rest of my life together with them … And not only visit them once in few years as I do now.

Now my searches have come to an end since I have been hooked to Internet / Online Marketing. It’s not that as soon as I found some info on the internet or read a few articles about Internet / Online Marketing, I shouted ‘Eureka’, ‘Eureka’ & jumped out naked from the bath :-) … but after enrolling to a training system, joining Alex Jeffrey’s coaching module & having met some absolutely amazing people … I know what I “want” to do & am developing a “vision” as I learn more from the Guru’s, am started working towards it “passionately” & will finally allow me to run the business from anywhere in the world and all this by being an Online Entrepreneur – how kool is this!

‘me’ general characteristics (not exhaustive though!)
- Nothing is more important than family & friends.
- Very social person and hate to be alone unless I am working.
- Get along with people very well and friendship happens naturally to me.
- Patient & kool headed but a restless character.
- Though handle situations diplomatically, I am straight forward on many occasions.
- Like to watch comedy / light hearted movies and listen to music
- Am a foodie person, like Chinese, Thai, Indian, Continental & English food (& junk food as well) – Oh forgot that I mentioned that :-)

‘me’ for my readers
This posts hopefully reveals some of “me” … I invite you to come and join my journey to being an Online Entrepreneur as I transform my life with the help and support of fellow internet marketers and my mentors. I will post all my learnings, experiences, success and failures so that I spread knowledge and help YOU, my readers, to grow as I do. So keep an eye on this space!

To our success …

Cheers,
Abizer
