Seminar with Daniyal Azam – A Journey of Struggle & Success
We had the incredible opportunity to attend a seminar with *Syed Muhammad Daniyal Azam, an *NED Scholars alumnus and a successful *freelancer-turned-entrepreneur. Coming from a humble background, he worked tirelessly to support his education and eventually built a **thriving freelancing career, earning *$60,000+ while helping others become financially independent. His journey is a true example of how hard work, consistency, and the right guidance can change lives.
During the session, he shared his *struggles and failures, from starting multiple online ventures that didn’t work to the moment that **changed his life—a realization that if he knew how to operate a computer and still wasn’t earning, he was **missing an opportunity. This mindset shift led him to **Fiverr and Upwork, where after weeks of effort, he landed his first project, proving that success is *never overnight.
He also shared his 3 C’s for freelancing success: ✨ Consistency – Keep learning and working, even when results are slow. ✨ Communication – Build strong client relationships. ✨ Creativity – Stand out by offering unique solutions.
When asked how to balance studies and freelancing, his powerful advice was: “Be uncomfortable today to be comfortable afterward.”
His words were inspiring, real, and relatable, making us rethink our approach to opportunities. A big thank you to NED Scholars for organizing this session, and to Daniyal Azam for sharing his journey and motivating us to take charge of our future! 🚀
