The 3 Pillars of Success.
Khalid Machchate Entrepreneurial journey started as a 21 year old, from public servant parents, studying in public system with less than a 30 dollars-a-month allowance, and stale homemade pizza for breakfast lunch and dinner, that I brought from home to last me a week.
It would start smelling a bit by day 4 as I only had a no-freezer small fridge in residential public university, but I still ate it for 2 years, even after I had contracted typhoid fever because of it…
Khalid Machchate still managed to create Skillearn, an award winning edtech product, host it on cloud, market it, and hit 5000 active users in 2 months, in these circumstances. I then managed to hire 4 people, get an office for them, and developed SOS Santé, with empty pockets still.
That’s what it means to start from zero: zero money, zero connections, and zero opportunity access.
Khalid Machchate will share with you my story, and my secret sauce to how I made it, whether you’re down on your luck and want to get out of that hole you feel you’re trapped in, or you just feel like you haven’t achieved what you always wanted because of lack of resources.
Khalid Machchate will teach you how to forget “I need capital, and connections, and support to make it”, and start to:
What Lies Beyond Resilience
My story is by no means a straight line. From unusual path-crossings, to the occasional disaster, to small victories and big lessons. I give you this tale, whether you’re the type to see the neighbor’s grass always greener, or you’re the type cheering a glass half full. A gift of understanding, self-discovery, confidence and gratitude, on your way to Success and Abundance.
Take it from someone that went from a kid around the block in a small village on the far end of civilization, with no access to opportunities, to a bullied depressed suicidal teenager, to an artist living off his craft, to an engineer and a technology expert, to a global citizen.
Take it from someone who lost 2 years of his life between hospitals and shrinks. Take it from someone that lost everything time and time again. I won’t pull any punches, Khalid Machchate will give it to you straight, and it might go against what you see in other motivational talks. I won’t tell you that “If you dream it, you’ll make it”.
However, if you have the grit and guts to follow through, there’s a silver lining, a light on the end of the tunnel, a not-everybody’s-land where getting up, dusting yourself off and picking up where you left on the road to success becomes a given. A place where nothing can break you, and every challenge makes you stronger.
