Abu Lahya: How I Got Scammed for $10k #muslim #entrepreneur #business #islam

I have a question. What is a lesson you had to learn the hard way but you're grateful for now? When I got into business, I made my first money, first $3,000 a month. I bought a big mentorship and I got scammed big time. It was money that I have saved up to actually take my family to Umrah. It was close to $10K. Basically, long story short, someone who was known for being a big scammer, he basically created a fake community where there were testimonials of different people, different people speaking on different accounts and so forth. I started investing. I just started draining everything I have. About 3 months into it, some guys in the community start having doubts. The guys notice it's a scam. They start exposing it. A few weeks later, the guy gets exposed for a scammer. Everything from A to Z was fake. But what he really taught me was the importance of making sure you deliver on your promises, because I felt probably one of the worst feelings you can feel when you get scammed. Like wasted time, wasted money, wasted opportunities that I could have done with my family. A few weeks later, I realized, subhanAllah, there's khair in it. He taught me the biggest lesson, which is deliver on your product and make sure people are happy and people who you work with have a great experience. And I turned out to build a company where we're known for having a high success rate and people say that we deliver on our promises. And it was built off of that main program that I bought and I got completely scammed. So it was 100% worth it.
