Fahad Khan’s Story Of Rising From Adversity To Success 

1. Being Born In A Humble Environment

When people often catch the first glimpse of successful entrepreneurs or celebrities, they assume that they must have had life easy and planned out for them. However, in many cases, that’s not true. Fahad Khan, for instance, was born in a small village near Fauji Fertilizers in Pakistan.

During that time, he barely had any idea regarding his potential in the fields of business, entrepreneurship and marketing. However, he was always a go-getter even as a child, and had an inquisitive mind, always willing to learn new things. This mindset was mainly what contributed to his success in the future as well.

2. Coming To Canada

Fahad moved to Canada with his family at the age of 13. As a young immigrant hailing from a small town, he was greatly surprised at the sight of towering skyscrapers and people with a different skin color than his own. He would often feel out of place at the start, missing his home country, but his immigration to Canada is a significant part of his life, as it marks the start of his personal, academic and professional growth.

3. Experiencing Bullying and Isolation

Back in the day, Canada was not as diverse in terms of its culture as it is today. As a foreigner, Fahad used to be picked on by his classmates for being different. He used to experience bullying because of his desi accent or his brown skin color, which led to him feeling marginalized and isolated.

However, he did not hold back and worked on improving his accent and learning the English language as best as possible. Eventually he not only became fluent but also confident enough to participate in class discussions and other activities. He ended up fighting his bullies, not through violence, but through personality development.

4. First Few Job Experiences

In several parts of the West such as the USA, UK, Canada and Australia, it is considered necessary for teenage students to work part-time after their academic hours. This helps them get a taste of financial independence and inculcates a sense of responsibility in them. 

The first few jobs Fahad worked at were as waiters in fast-food restaurants. While Fahad was working hard, he did not feel these jobs were rewarding, which prompted him to look for other part-time work opportunities. He stumbled upon marketing-related jobs, where he found his interest in the world of entrepreneurship and business.

5. Starting First Business

As Fahad grew and gained more and more professional experience through stable jobs with handsome income, he wanted to start something of his own. Many people doubted his idea of starting his own business, as he was already earning enough in his 9-5 job. However, he did not listen to his naysayers and went after his inner calling.

At the young age of 23, Fahad Khan became the owner of his own business, CanadaPrimeImmigration and Marketing. His main goal was to help Pakistani youth find international opportunities, so they can utilize their talents in a receptive platform that allows them to grow substantially in their career.

6. Leading His Company As The Fastest Growing In Canada

As a result of his consistent efforts, Canada Prime Immigration was recognized as the fastest growing company in Canada in the year 2017 by Macleans PROFIT500. Today, Fahad Khan is a successful CEO of the company, and is also one of the best motivational speakers of Pakistan. His success story shows that with adequate effort and persistence, any goal, big or small, is achievable.

Conclusion

The biggest lesson that anyone can extract out of Fahad Khan’s success story is that no matter what kind of environment we may have been born into and what ethnicity we belong to, we are capable of achieving our wildest dreams, only if we put in enough effort and stay consistent.
