“This book is an outstanding set of life lessons that stem from Tariq’s extraordinary life. It is a manifesto of resilience, self-drive, and self-achievement shaped by his business and personal challenges. Tariq simply does not believe things cannot be done, and his perseverance and grit are the hallmarks of leadership lessons so valuable today. I encourage professionals of all ages to read this.”
—Mohammad A. Abunayyan
Chairman, Vision Invest

“Tariq combines his business acumen with his innate sense of empathy as he underscores the value of a people first approach. This is a great book and an invaluable resource for developing leaders for today’s talent-scarce business environment.”

“From Wall Street to Sheikh Zayed Road, Tariq’s journey and his real-life business experience are neatly crafted between the covers of this book. A graduate of both Harvard and the school of hard knocks, his approach to leadership is a testament to the trials and tribulations he has experienced on his colorful journey. This book is a reflection of Tariq’s self-discipline and infectious enthusiasm, but critically his empathic approach to life ... all essential criteria for any leader.”

“I’ve known Tariq for over 12 years, first professionally and now as a friend. Throughout these years, I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing how he has led EFS to growth in the right way, as well as all the support and kindness he has shown his employees, being genuinely interested in their well-being and progress. I’ve worked with many business leaders in the Middle East, and I believe he is one of the best. He has delivered his promises and remained ambitious and inspiring in his thought leadership. I’m proud of him for how he has been able to drive his career while facing many challenges to reach this level of success.”
