Before the opening of his restaurant, the ‘guy who cooks’ took some time to reflect.<\/p>\n

As opening of my cafe is around the corner i couldn’t help but look back at the days when i started this journey, what u see didn’t happen in single night,took me years, most of u don’t knw but now i feel like y’all should knw that i started this journey with an outdoor stall.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

He further added that throughout the beginning of his entrepreneurial journey, he had little to no resources. But he still managed to push through.<\/p>\n

There was no shop, just one tarpal on top, table and grill.
\nIt was very rough, it was a real struggle now when i look back i only began to thank Allah for his countless blessings.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ahsan added that he did not share his story for fame or attention, but instead he shared it to ignite the fire of enthusiasm in others.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am not sharing this story and pictures for some social media clout but as a motivation to all who are struggling with their goals and passion, for the love of passion you have to do anything, never be afraid of doing anything, don’t feel ashamed even if u have to start from zero.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

He also added that his dream is turning into a reality and that others’ dreams will come true as well. All we need is hope, courage, and motivation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When i was running my stall, i used to look at the shops in awwe & think that one day I’ll be there IA. Now i am here alhamdulilah.
\nThis is my journey.
\nLet this story be a hope, courage and motivation for yall who struggling in life, career and job.
