I want to be upfront about something: not everyone who joins succeeds, and even the ones who do don’t all do it fast. That’s not on the program — the opportunity is real, and it’s the same opportunity for everyone who walks through the door. What decides the outcome is the individual: whether they keep showing up and refuse to settle until they make it. I’ve shared some quick wins on this page, but I think it’s just as important to share the ones that took time — because that’s the more honest picture of what actually building a business looks like.
Ali is one of those. He’s 19, based in Australia, juggling school, a job, training for MMA, and building an agency on the side. It took him 8 months to land his first paying client. Not because the system didn’t work. Because life doesn’t clear its schedule for anyone — and Ali kept showing up anyway.
🧑🏫 Life Doesn’t Pause for a Launch
Most success stories skip straight to the win. Ali’s didn’t have that luxury, because the win wasn’t the only thing on his plate.
At 19, he was building his agency around school and a job — the kind of schedule where “building a business” happens in whatever hours are left over, not the hours you’d actually choose. On top of that, he trains MMA, which is where things got harder before they got easier: a fracture to his hand during training that made even the basics — typing, calls, the day-to-day of running an agency — more difficult for a stretch.
🪡 The Hiatus
At some point, it got to be too much to hold all at once, and Ali stepped away for a while.
That’s the part most stories leave out — the pause, the stretch where nothing visible is happening and it would be easy to call it quits for good. It’s also the most honest part of this one. Consistency isn’t a straight line. Sometimes it’s stopping, and then coming back anyway.
🔄 Showing Back Up
Ali came back. Not with a dramatic turnaround — just by getting back to the work, in whatever time school, work, and training left him.
Eight months after he first started, it clicked.
🎉 3 Clients in One Week
Ali posted the update to the community himself: he’d closed 3 clients in a single week — one client worth $3,000, and two more on trial. One of those trial clients was open to a 12-month agreement if Ali could deliver results, worth roughly $18,000 AUD over the course of the year.
He signed off the post with a note of gratitude and a hope that the trial client would convert into a paying one once the results came in. My reply in the thread was simple: “2026 will be a good year, inshallah.”
Before Sabiqoon → After Sabiqoon
| Before | After | |
|---|---|---|
| Timeline | 8 months of building around school, work, and training | 3 clients closed in a single week |
| Setbacks | A hiatus, a fractured hand from MMA training | Came back and kept building anyway |
| Clients | Zero paying clients | 1 client at $3K, 2 more on trial — one worth up to $18K AUD over 12 months |
| Proof | Nothing to point to yet | A real win, posted for the whole community to see |
✅ Quick Reference: What Made This Work
- Timeline: 8 months — not a fast win, a real one
- Circumstances: School, work, and MMA training, all at the same time
- Setback: A fractured hand from training, and a hiatus along the way
- Comeback: Came back after stepping away and kept showing up
- Result: 3 clients closed in one week — $3K signed, 2 more on trial, one worth up to $18K AUD over 12 months
🡒 The Bottom Line
Not every success story I share moves fast, and Ali’s is proof that it doesn’t need to. He had school, a job, MMA, and a fractured hand working against his timeline — and he still landed 3 clients in a week, 8 months after he started. If you’ve been building around a full life instead of a clear runway, this is the story I want you to remember: consistency, not speed, is what actually gets you there.
