Ahmad Aghar
SMB Optimization & Scaling Consultant at SMB Optimization & Scaling
If you're a small business owner and if you're not seeing the results you're working hard to get, we need to talk: I might have a couple of ideas for you!
Helping someone and watching them evolve is what gets me up every day!
Whether it was a business or an individual, technology or strategy, work or leisure, that sense of achievement is unmatched.

Technology and sports are where it all started: You should've seen the huge smile on my face winning my first match, the exhilaration I felt when someone I helped wins the match, the awe when meeting the new IBM XT, and the happiness and wonder when playing with the Commodore 64.

First I see potential, then I start immediately thinking of ways to achieve that potential, finally, I try to make it a reality and strive to take it a step further…

I started my professional career writing software and building networks while selling ads and event tickets on the side. Freelancing forced me to find effective ways to manage my customers' projects and guided me towards learning the principles of project management. This presented more opportunities to me and I started to withdraw from technical work and focus more on project management.

However, I needed more: I needed to talk to more people, to meet new people, to have the flexibility to do business in and out of my desk! That's when I moved to sales.
Yet, nothing topped that exhilarating feeling I got every time I assist or coach a team member - which lead me to where I am today.

Are you ready to transform your business and evolve it to the next level? Achieve more with less? Or, perhaps, diversify your business venues?
Do you feel let down by the way business is being conducted or by some unproductive traditions in the organization?

I work with business owners and executives using a healthy mix of global standards and proven technologies to help them realize their goals.
