Home work with me my books podcast
Hi,
My name is Ibby Aslam.
I've been a entrepreneur for the past 15 years
Wanna hear something crazy?
I started a restaurant in England when I was 30 without knowing anything about the restaurant industry and I grew it from nothing to £25,000 a week in my first month.
In 2015 (29 years of age)
10 days before Christmas in December i come out of prison after serving 10 years
behind bars living in a 5x10 cell with a steel bed frame and a mattress so thin i can
feel the cold, hard metal under me each time i lay down, the pillow is rock hard too.
The walls around me a covered in Graffiti, and the whole time im in prison all i can
think about is how am i going to make money once i get out? I dont want to be old
and broke but i have no idea how im going to make money, I have no real life skills,
and i mean NONE.. During my time in prison, I experienced significant Personal
losses, including the deaths of both my mother To a Brain haemorrhage and my
Younger brother who was 21 in a car accident. So I got out Prison, I'm feeling lost
and i do the one thing which every prisoner does once he gets out of jail, i go back to crime, Just kidding...
In 2016
I tried making money doing personal training but i failed, i also opened a dessert shop and failed again and i also invested into a interior design company but failed
In 2017
In 2017, I open my first 150 seater restaurant Business (Manjaros Restaurant) i have
30 employees. My payroll is £28000 a month, Suddenly I'm thrown into the deep end,
I have to learn to attract leads,How to make sales, learn operations, Hiring and
managing people. setting Great Culture, It was har but I was determined to Figure it
out and make it work.
In 2018
So i did, and in 2018 i made my first million in Revenue, Life felt great, i was making money. i then started learning about property and invested £12000 to learn from (Property trainer)samuel leeds by learning all the strategies in property so i can park my money by investing smartly rather not knowing what im buying
I built up a solid portfolio, but I realised that I wanted more so i made a £250000 mistake, a mistake i hope you never make, i got greedy
In 2021
I opened a second restaurant. I was expanding my success. However, I soon learned
that all I had done was double my problems, Doubled staff, Doubled payroll, added
more stress, but without the right team. My Health also Deteriorated and i became overweight. By the end of 2021, I had to close the 2nd restaurant after realising it
wasn’t sustainable. I felt like a failure
In 2022
so the start of 2022 i made apromise to myself that i was going to focus on my first restaurant and make that the best in the world, so thats what i did
Then I launched my YouTube channel, I also got into the best shape of my life, and my fitness journey was featured in Men's Health magazine Around November 2022
in 2023
I focused mainly on growing my youtbe chanel my doing a video podcast by recording
over 60 episodes, i got invited to do a international soeaking gig in lagos, Nigeria, i also launched my coaching business by helping other Restaurant owners grow and scale
(Free Training)
In 2024
January 2024 marked another milestone for me when I became a TEDx speaker. It was an incredible experience to share my story and inspire others. Later this year, in August 2024, I released two books. The first is "7 Steps to 7 Figures" a business strategy book. The second is a personal development book Called "Mindset" that shares the mindset shifts that helped me turn my life around.
