Farhad Dordar - Click Here To Read Farhad's Articles - When we are young our visions are quite
different from when we are older. Though I
have been on an amazing journey since I
was twelve, I haven't put faith in numbers
when it comes to age. My belief that each
moment of our lives is a new beginning has
allowed me to possess an innovative
mentality in my endeavours. I am very much
deeply involved in my journey and this has
made me very confident in who I am and
what I have to share with my followers
around the world.As in most
sports, I believe that there is a
championship in life. Considering how
frequently we encounter obstacles that
require courage, self-discipline,
self-confidence, knowledge and will-power,
it is a process of victories and defeats.
We all want victories in our lives, so we
should learn to face the obstacles that
lay before us without hesitation. We must
own our obstacles, lest they own us. By starting my first martial arts
school at the age of 21, I was able to
found the basis for my future as a mentor
of all the values found in martial arts. I
have been working for 39 years since,
involved in many different sports,
studying many new styles of martial arts,
and participating in many international
courses and educational programs. By
constantly studying and researching
valuable areas such as general management,
business management, psychology,
physiology, human anatomy, communications,
biomechanics, and the elements of mind,
body and spirit (holistic fitness), I have
been able to create a step-by-step
self-improvement program based on my
knowledge. This program conveys a life of
dedicated research by conveniently
depicting how my students and followers
can improve their lifestyles through
martial arts training. Students will learn
how to recognize important benefits and
values such as confidence, discipline,
self-control, patience, leadership and
goal-setting. How these values can come
from martial arts training and become
implemented into a human lifestyle at any
age group for both males and females is
one of our major elements.Grand Master Farhad DordarPresident of World Sport Kickboxing

Born in 1964, the son of a South African
gold mining manager, I grew up in the days
of the SA gold boom. I was lucky enough to
go to private schools while many others in
the apartheid era faced hardship and lack.
While I cannot complain about my schooling
one thing it never taught me has how to
run a business, let alone a national
franchise network. In 2003 after a long
career in the electronics corporate world,
I decided to "exit the rat race". I had
started my own sideline business in the
un-related party hire industry, and found
it a great learning experience. My
financial learning had just begun, as I
rapidly tried to increase my Financial IQ.
Success for me is defined as a delicate
balancing act, to keep all areas of life
whole and fulfilled. Success brings real
enemies and false friends, so for me
"success" in the American Dream definition
is not nearly enough. For me meaning,
purpose, fulfillment and wisdom are areas
that I hold dear. Money is only one of the
tools we need to learn to master in this
life.

Nick Friedman - Click Here To Read Nick's Articles - Like many college students, Omar Soliman
and Nick Friedman were looking to earn
some extra cash during their break - what
they ended up with was a multi-million
dollar enterprise.
In the summer of 2003 the former high
school buddies loaned a beat-up cargo van
from Soliman's mother and began offering a
junk removal service. It wasn't long
before the clean-cut collegiate friends
were in high demand. Even after they
returned to their universities for the
school-year, they continued to get calls
for junk hauling back in their
hometown.
During his senior year of college,
Soliman decided to draw up a business plan
and submit it to the Leigh Rothschild
Entrepreneurship Competition. The plan
placed first out of 150 entries and earned
Soliman $10,000. With this,
College Hunks Hauling
Junk was born.
Upon graduating, Soliman and Friedman
both entered the corporate world, but
couldn't ignore their entrepreneurial
spirit. Leaving their jobs after just a
few months, Soliman and Friedman decided
to implement College Hunks Hauling
Junk on a full scale. After
investing every penny they had earned, and
streamlining the system, the two became
America's youngest franchisors at the age
of 25.
Today Soliman and Friedman own
College Hunks Hauling
Junk in Washington D.C. and San
Francisco. They also have over 20
franchises. The company employs college
and university students across the country
and provides an environmentally-friendly
service. The Hunks recycle over 60% of
items they collect and donate any reusable
items to local charities.
Soliman and Friedman want to do more
than provide a good-looking service, they
want to do good as well. From donating a
portion of their revenue from every job to
College Bound - a college mentorship
program - to food drives and sneaker
collections for underprivileged youth, the
Hunks are always looking to lend a hand to
their community.

While I most definately don't know all
there is to know about business, the
things I do know have been learnt the hard
way. I have started up several businesses
over the past 11 years, most of them
didn't make it. But with failure comes
the opportunity the learn. It is from this
School of Hard Knocks that I have been
able to start up a franchise of my own as

doing pretty well.
Do I claim to be an expert, heck no, I
just enjoy sharing what I have learnt the
hard way so that others don't have to.
