Episode Highlights
Eram Saeed Starting Her Business Women Empowerment
- During her childhood years, Eram was raised in Pakistan. People consider the idea of girls pursuing a career as “useless.”
- Despite excelling at school for 14 years, she was encouraged by her parents to marry instead of pursuing an MBA.
- She experienced a cycle of loss for almost 20 years. This included her second divorce, and she had to learn to create a business on her own.
Women Empowerment Challenges Faced
- Lack of information (e.g., do’s and don’ts, the failure rate of tele summits) regarding business since she wasn’t able to pursue a degree
- Problems in her personal life (no career, 2–3 lawsuits including a divorce and bankruptcy case)
What Helped Her Succeed in women empowerment
- Value absolute commitment. Never take no for an answer.
- Disconnect from people who put you down. They can bring you down and mess with your mindset.
- Understand the law of attraction. You attract what you are, so keep your hopes and energy high.
Letting Go of What You Know
- She believes that “What you know is holding you back.”
- According to the Harvard Business Review of the Harvard Business School, perception of the world creates our reality. It affects the way we treat and go about life, which leads to the reality in which we live.
- There is no absolute truth, even if our ego makes us believe there is.
- Questioning our own version of the truth is what can help us grow. So, maintain a purpose statement of your core values. It will guide your company's operations.
The Role of Passion
- While going through a dark time in her life, Eram was inspired by positive messages she heard from telesummits. From then on, she committed herself to corporate social responsibility.
- She found her passion for sharing these messages with other people in similar situations.
- It was a perfect opportunity for her to share her story while getting paid to do so. That is how she built her purpose driven company.
Eram Saeed How Do We Find Our Passion?
- Remember that passions change, and entrepreneurship is NOT supposed to remain the same. If you take this by heart, you will gain a competitive advantage.

- Take note of other elements: (1) what I love doing, (2) what I get paid for, (3) what I’m good at, and (4) what the world needs.
Investing in a Business
- Focus on your natural gifts and how to monetize them. This will up your financial performance and market share.
