Sakib Awan

From three credit cards to a business employing hundreds of staff.

World leaders describe Sakib Awan as one of Timor-Leste’s most successful business leaders. His new book tells you how he did it.

Sakib Awan’s autobiography is an inspirational migrant success story of courage, resolve and entrepreneurship in the face of adversity. It shows how Sakib built his first business and won 3 Australian Export Awards ... only to lose everything overnight in the Asian Finance Crisis ... and how he rebuilt into a business that employs several hundred people.

If you dream of personal and financial success, Sakib’s story shows that it can be yours. To achieve it you need a fire in your belly, focus, and you need to dream larger than you can imagine.
