Ismail Bowers is usually quietly working in the background. When you meet him he’s an introverted person, softly spoken with an endearing American accent and gentle in mannerisms. I couldn’t help but have a high level of regard for him.
I had the privilege to hear his presentation live at the latest Startup Muslim Mastermind in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Everything on funnel building and how he built his 6 figure business in 3 months (wow) with the mentorship of brother Omar Taha.
The bit that was a revelation to me was that this brother knew nothing about funnels when he started. Seriously, nothing. I was quite amazed how he managed to get his head down and learn this in a very short period of time. Credit to him!
His story is quite unique, but I’m sure we can relate to the lessons from it.
He was studying in a country away from his homeland, he was supposed to get a sponsorship to study Islam in and it stopped for some reason. Without an income he was stuck. Recently married, and unable to see way forward to started to look for things on line. Trying induce some income for himself.
This led him to look for mentors and ended up one day listening to brother Omar Taha on a webinar on which brother Omar was a guest and was blown away by the content he got.
One thing led from another and their journey progressed and we see him where he is today, alhamdullilah.
It shows the power of human determination. That sometimes when we hit the low points, it compels us to take action. But the lesson here is he TOOK action. He did what he had to, to make it happen for himself.
Most people won’t even have to learn something new to startup a business. Look at your assets and assess what you can do with this to make it into something that will be purposeful and help you set up a business.
For me he was inspirational to listen to and learn from – as he called himself ‘a college drop out’ shows education isn’t the main thing you need for success – it’s a desire to succeed.
