Papillon (book)

Papillon (book) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

When I was in year 10 dad put a book in my hand and asked me to try and finish it in 3 days if I could! and the books name was “Papillon”. It’s a true story of a man, who was wrongly convicted for a crime he did not commit and was sent to the french penal settlement in French Guiana and from where he escapes 13 times, only to be brought back 12 times and the final escape! he breaks free for good, makes himself a new life in Venezuela and becomes a great! Entrepreneur! that’s right folks! a jail bird who spent time with hard men  turned a leaf out of his book (life) and there you go Entrepreneur!

I’ve read this book several times since and it’s second part Banco. Every time I read it! it looks new and conveys a wonderful meaning about life! So If you folks want inspiration please read this book! (no affiliate link, just suggesting).

Some personal thoughts I gathered from this book, combined with some personal experiences in life!

  • Ambition is the fuel that can drive life changing events! 
  • You achieve just what you think! so create a BIG DREAM!
  • On the road to becoming an entrepreneur, few people come into your life without a reason! (you’ve all come into mine to make it a dream come true)

Lastly, I did realize that a feeling or phenomenon or gutt feeling called FEAR kept me from going after my dreams! Here’s a small piece of truth! Gutt Feeling and Instincts are two varied things! trust your instincts! because your instincts play a big role in your entrepreneurial journey!

F-alse

E-xpectations

A-ppear

R-eal

Lastly, to make things easier for future bloggers, web enthusiast and people who want build a website and don’t know how to, do not worry, a mate and myself are coming up with a website, which gives you everything for free. It will contain simple, yet cutting edge solutions for your challenges on the internet! It will also have a small e-book! that takes you through the life of building your very own website from scratch in just 1 hour!  The site is due to be released by next month! so please keep an eye out!

Did I mention? ITS FREE that’s right folks FREE! and we’re calling it “www.TheLizardinYou.Com” after my very first Blog!

Now, why did we come up with this idea? and how? I was attending a early morning conference with Alex Jeffrey’s and during that conference I realized every single one of them in that conference had an issue with building their own blog, website or even getting started! I know technology is light years ahead of human knowledge, but, do not fret! I’m going to make it easy! very easy for you all.

PS: I’d kill myself If I don’t mention this! I would like to appreciate the efforts, support and encouragement delivered into this project of mine by my childhood friend Sajid! My next post involves you and our entrepreneurial lives! many thanks CHAMP!
