- I'm nervous about this
I'm nervous about this
But I'm doing it anyway
As-Salaam Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,
I need to be honest with you about something.
During Ramadhan, I was talking to my mentor about scaling my business.
And he mentioned that he runs live sprints with his audience.
At first, I brushed I wasn’t so interested.
But then he explained why he does them.
(it’s really not about generating revenue)
It's about getting direct access to your real pain points.
Your frustrations.
The specific problems you're facing in your business or in your career.
And how Barakah Hours can help you as an individual.
And that hit me.
Because I realised something I've been avoiding.
I'm a writer.
Everything I do is through words on a screen.
And what that means is I've been hiding.
Not intentionally, but still hiding.
When you only communicate through writing, your audience doesn't see all of you.
They see a polished version.
They see what you want them to see.
And honestly, I think I've done that partly to protect myself.
Because here's the truth:
I get nervous about delivering real value through my voice and my personality.
I know I can do it with words Alhamdulilah.
I've spent months honing my writing skills.
But speaking directly to you, working with you one-on-one, actually showing up as myself and making sure you walk away with something tangible.
That's different.
That's scary.
So when my mentor suggested I run a sprint, my first instinct was no.
But then I thought about what he actually said.
When you work directly with people, you don't just help them.
You learn.
You hear their real challenges.
You understand what's actually holding them back.
And that feedback?
That makes everything you build better.
Your products get better.
Your free content gets better.
Your brand evolves.
And I realised something:
If I'm serious about serving you, I have to do this.
Even if it's uncomfortable.
So on the 4th of May, I'm opening up just 5 slots for a live sprint, inshallah.
Here's what's going to happen:
I'll be talking directly to you guys.
And I'm going to show you exactly how to use Barakah Hours for your specific business or career.
So you can get 10 hours of meaningful work done in just 2 hours.
Which means you can work less, earn more, and actually have time to live.
Time to build a connection with Allah and create memories with your family.
But here's why I'm really doing this.
It's not just about helping you implement Barakah Flow faster than the guide allows.
It's about me understanding your world deeper.
Your pain points.
Your struggles.
Because when I know what you're actually dealing with, I can improve my products.
I can create better free content.
I can serve my entire audience better.
And honestly?
This sprint is also for me.
It's me stepping out of my comfort zone.
It's me showing up as more than just words on a screen.
It's me growing.
Yeah, it's a bit nerve-racking even as I write this letter.
But we gotta do what we gotta do.

Only 5 spots available.
Until next time,
Ali
