Today we’d like to introduce you to Sadiq Hussain

Hi Sadiq, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?

Over a decade ago, I used to be a very shy, introverted young soul. I didn’t really know why. I was just afraid of feeling like a ‘loser’ when it came to communicating with females but also, any stranger for that matter. It was uncomfortable and scary for me because I constantly doubted myself and worried about other peoples opinions / judgement of me.

At age 21, that all started changing for me, simply due to one powerful, deep, meaningful conversation with a friend over hot chocolate, on the 12th Sept 2014 at 5:33:18pm. Yes, it was that specific because he made me write down the date and time and told me “this conversation and what I’m about to share with you, will completely alter the trajectory of your life Sadiq, I promise.” I was feeling uncertain, doubtful, confused and somewhat fearful of what will happen next. But, I trusted him and the process, then after he spent a few hours educating me on some of the powerful lessons from the book ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’, by Robert Kiyosaki, the dots all suddenly started to connect in my brain and I felt excited, confident and pumped up to learn more. Then, after some more time consciously listening, I started working towards the next steps in this business & personal growth venture he shared, alongside his mentorship and guidance.

Lesson number 1 | when exciting opportunities come your way, listen, learn, ask questions, understand enough to make an intuitive decision without overthinking or overanalysing everything too much. Follow your gut feeling and get to know the person you’re speaking with, it’s them you’ll always invest in, it’s not always the opportunity itself. Trust your intuition.

A few years later, after investing in myself deeper, I transformed into a super confident, bold and courageous version of myself. I was able to share my very first TEDx Talk LIVE to an audience in March 2020, just a few days before the global Pandemic lockdown. This was absolutely one of my proudest moments in life and it proved to me that anything is possible, when you set goals, dream big and consistently take action (CTA). Like a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly, I too, felt like I transformed into a completely new person. That is the true power of diving deep into personal & professional development and getting serious about having more clarity and focus on our life’s purpose and mission. For me, that was finally having the realisation that I was born to be a Mindset Performance Coach / Speaker / Content Creator – to be able to build a community and serve people so powerfully, that they too, will have similar transformations and paradigm shifts like myself, then they can also work towards finding their own life’s calling too, one step at a time.

Ever since then, I have committed my life and promised myself, to Consistently Take Action and create free value-based content across most social media platforms (@coachsadiq) so that my message and reminders can reach a larger audience and attract those people out there, who are still facing challenging times, struggling with their self confidence and are searching for a solution towards healing and becoming the bolder and more courageous version of themself too. It’s a way for me to coach and guide them to find their own answers that I truly believe, is already sitting in the abyss within their soul. It all starts with an internal decision and choice to invest in yourself, regardless of all the ‘noise, negativity and opinions’ out there in the world.

Lesson number 2 | invest in yourself, work with coaches & mentors who support and guide you, so you’re not alone. Remember, other peoples opinions and judgement of how you choose to live your life, does not matter. Ignore and distance yourself away from all of the energy vampires in your environment, Choose to surround yourself with a more positive, encouraging community and remind yourself daily that, nobody except your creator knows you, better than you know yourself. That is enough inspiration to keep moving forwards and trusting in the master plan, which has no flaws.

Some time after that, I was able to finally have a taste of what it feels like to be a ‘micro-influencer’ because I managed to secure 3 official brand partnerships with companies who were very aligned to my principles, values and mission. The first was with a luxury and affordable watch-maker called Valuchi Watches who are based in Netherlands, Amsterdam. They produce some of the most luxurious yet affordable watches you’ll find in today’s market whilst not compromising on quality, style and elegance.

The second company being a clothing brand created by one of my own inspiring coaches Cesar L Rodriguez, called ‘B10xB, BeTenTimesBolder Movement.’ The mission behind this movement is to help inspire and motivate entrepreneurs to work on their mindset and personal growth, so that they can ‘BeTenTimesBolder’ and courageous, when it comes to overcoming obstacles, fears, challenges and setback on their journey.

The last company has to be my favourite of them all because it’s super connected and aligned with my business goals. An AI powered Coaching app called Summit AI, which is super personalised, human-centric, affordable and helpful for practically anyone out there, whose looking to improve their life and career goals. It’s not just another ChatGPT, Google Gemini or generic artificial intelligence chatbot at all. It’s genuinely a much more tailor-made, human-like AI Coach, which also has my very own personal coaching framework and methodologies programmed into it, so it doesn’t just message you back like me, in a deeper and empathetic way but, it also has a voice calling feature where you can actually talk to my AI Coach, anytime and ask for guidance, support or accountability with whatever you’re seeking help with. It guides you to find the answers you’re looking for and keeps you accountable every step of the way, whilst still feeling like it’s Coach Sadiq supporting and coaching you. It’s honestly next-level and something that I’m super grateful and excited to offer the world because it will help towards serving and supporting many more souls out there who are struggling and going through hardships in both their life and career.

Lesson number 3 | work on building your personal brand online because it leads to an abundance of opportunities, collaborations and partnerships with purpose driven brands and companies, who you will be proud to synchronise with and work towards making a bigger, more positive impact in the world collectively. When you learn to confidently put yourself out there, share your story, express your emotions and add value to those who may be seeking your wisdom, you’ll feel a deeper sense of fulfilment and internal happiness knowing that you’re serving others and making a real difference.

Seriously, if I can go from being a super shy, introverted young soul, with crappy communication skills, to becoming this super confident, bold and courageous coach and speaker today, now with better effective communication skills, then I believe anyone out there, reading this right now, can do the exact same too. The answers all lie within your soul, so keep searching, keep healing and keep doing your very best, every single day. I believe in you all.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?

Our life and career was never meant to be a smooth ride. It’s true what they say. Life is actually an intense rollercoaster ride. Without the downs, such as all the sadness, anxiousness, uncertainty, fears, hardships, heartbreaks, loneliness, late nights, sacrifices, criticism, doubts, failures, risks, mental health challenges… we won’t ever learn to truly heal and find ways to pick ourselves back up again towards the mountain’s peak.

I had to overcome countless challenges and obstacles along this journey that didn’t always feel possible but, in hindsight, I’ve learnt that when we are in the trenches and mud, going through those hardships, it might feel impossible and scary in that moment however, there’s always a key to the secret door, that when unlocked, everything starts to make sense again and things align in miraculous ways when we connect the dots looking backwards. Trust the creator always.

Without being cheated on in business, I wouldn’t have learnt how to do my due diligence on people.
Without going through the heartbreaks, I wouldn’t have learnt how to heal and find ways to love deeper again.
Without taking the risk of quitting my 9-5 job in the bank, I wouldn’t have ever learnt to believe & trust myself, fully.
Without losing all my finances and being absolutely broke and in debt, I wouldn’t have learnt the value of money.
Without gaining weight due to all the stress in business, I wouldn’t have learnt to value my health & wellbeing.
Without taking the risk to pack my bags and move to Dubai to pursue my dreams, I wouldn’t have learnt the value of family.
Without letting go of my old friends who no longer served me, I wouldn’t have learnt what true friendship really means.
Without allowing my big ego to get the better of me, I wouldn’t have learnt the value of investing in coaches / mentors.

This all goes to show, that no matter how big your challenges and obstacles may be, giving up or quitting is never an option. Fighting through your battles and having faith that better days will come, is the positive attitude and mindset we must all learn to create for ourself because life will always be a rollercoaster of emotions. The answer is to always stay in control of your mind and never allow it, to have control over you.

These have been some of my most fulfilling and proudest moments of this journey and I continue to work towards gaining many more rewarding experiences in my lifetime, by serving and supporting others along the journey, so they can join me in feeling blessed and celebrated too.

For over a decade, I have dedicated my life to personal growth, becoming a bolder version of myself and have been helping others to optimise their mental, physical, spiritual and emotional wellbeing, through consistently taking action on their purposeful aspirations and dreams. I truly believe that if someone like me, can go from a super shy introvert, to today, becoming an ambivert (can wear both hats), then so can anyone else out there whose struggling with this right now, but only if they’re willing to learn the skills necessary and seek the guidance and support without letting their ego take control.

I found myself and my true purpose in coaching & speaking after years of running an online e-commerce business and posting daily inspirational videos on social media (@coachsadiq), which led me to start spreading my naturally high energy, on stages and speaking engagements across the UK. Then, performing my very first TEDx Talk in early 2020, sharing my story and encouraging others to Consistently Take Action (CTA) in their life, so they too can find their own inner confidence towards their dreams, aspirations and goals, without ever losing hope or belief in themselves.

The most common challenges and problems people come to me with are: feeling lost or confused with their career, imposter syndrome, lack of self confidence, struggling with self love, too much overthinking, childhood traumas, deeper limiting beliefs and other business skillsets such as: money mindset support, psychology of sales & negotiation, confidence networking online & offline, social media marketing, content creation guidance, personal branding, overcoming video anxiety and showing up authentically on camera, lead generation, attracting ideal clients and more…

I always focus on serving and supporting my clients and community towards REAL action steps that help them gain REAL results, instead of just ‘talking the talk’, I help them ‘walk their talk.’ Outcomes and results always lead to fulfilment and joy which then leads to organic quality referrals and growth, based on my personal experiences for over 6+ years now.
