My name is Atif Perwiz and since around March 2020, I’ve been trying to, like I think you are too, earn some extra money to help get through the month, to change career or just move on from the 9 to 5!! To get the life style we always wanted.
We are told from childhood that going to school and achieving ‘A’ grades, passing exams, going to university etc. is a guarantee of a career and a good income. Even though there is nothing wrong with that, for me I have got to the point where that isn’t enough or dare I say I feel a little betrayed. Let me explain; I did the exams, got a degree and I became a Manufacturing Engineer, worked for high profile companies and had good jobs.
When I started I was enthusiastic, passionate and wanted to learn and build my career. Don’t get me wrong it has been really good and I am very grateful. However, after some time (26 years!) I have been working hard, to make other people money, caught up in company politics, nowhere to grow and basically coasting and paying taxes and bills and no surplus funds to enjoy holidays, invest, or buy the BMW M5 and the Porsche 911 Turbo I have always wanted. That’s not going to happen, or is it?
As Einstein said, “Don’t expect different results from doing the same thing”, so I am not. I am changing everything, my mindset, my health, my body, my direction, my passions to build the lifestyle I want and a future for my children. I have lost over 6.5kg so far! It’s all about mindset and passion.
I’m 52 (2023) and have been married to my wonderful wife for 23 years and we have three children. I currently work as a business process consultant and even though it’s a good job, I feel like I need to be in control and not get bogged down by politics and having to follow other peoples agendas.
So, what brought me to this journey? the last few years it’s been more difficult to save money and do the things that we would like to do. Mortgage, bills, tax, fuel, food etc. has meant it’s almost impossible to have any spare savings. Also, thinking about our children’s futures, university, weddings etc. as well as the hobbies and charities that I’m involved with, so the extra income would certainly help.
Unfortunately, in the last 1 1/2 years my mother-in-law, my father-in-law and my mother passed away. Our kids lost three grandparents in 18 months. This has changed my focus and viewpoint of life and what is important. I’ve worked for over 25 years as an engineer and business process consultant and now it’s time that I do what I want to do and to add value to my life and helping remove peoples problems.
So, for the last few years, I’ve been promised so much by so many people on the Internet about side hustles, Amazon FBA, selling e-books, and all-sorts of other stuff. I started looking into affiliate marketing because I didn’t have to have a product and it seemed quite simple from what was described. After Spending quite a bit of money and following different courses I learned some things that were useful. However what I needed was coaching. Just getting a link from click bank or warrior plus is not gonna cut it. 100s of people are flashing their daily earnings on screen and say that’s possible in a few hours. Is it? have you done it? What is possible is becoming a high earning super affiliate BUT there is a process and the right method to get there. It is not a ‘get rich quick’ scheme. You have to build a business. There is something else you HAVE to HAVE…………..A Coach.
I then saw a book and it made a lot of sense to me, so I read it cover to cover. I really enjoyed it and it created a thirst to do Affiliate Marketing (the right and only way). However, I still needed coaching. I was lucky enough to get a bonus from work from doing really well last year and that allowed me to pay for the best coach in the business (in my opinion).
Well, I’m here now and I’m raring to go and I can’t wait to learn and apply and become financially independent. I have some charity work that I do helping orphans and families in Turkey, Pakistan, Syria and Palestine and I hope to go there myself and actually hand aid to the families that need it. I’m a huge Car fan and petrol head and I have an Instagram channel on cars and I hope one day I will be able to get a couple of cars that I’ve always dreamed of.
Well thanks for listening and I look forward to making the future we want happen. Remember, that you are on the same journey as me but probably a few blocks behind, in fact you maybe way ahead of me.
Oh yes! I will sometimes refer to TeamBABA, what is that that? Well ‘Baba’ is Arabic for Father, it’s what my children call me and in fact some of my nephews and nieces do too. It means a lot to me as it means dependable, honest, secure, safety, integrity, someone to depend on and someone who has your back and will look after you. ‘Team’ is us, you, me our families, coaches and colleagues, in fact anyone and working in teams is the best way to learn, grow and get real life help. One ‘Team’ One ‘Dream’. So, that is TeamBABA.
