One of the many affirmations that my guest, "career shapeshifter" and author, Mustafa Ammar uses is "you can only get what you want by having a vision." He adds, "concentrate on yourself." He got to know his own insecurities and didn't compare hhimself to anyone else and found that it was easier to be happy that way.Originally from Egypt and has lived in dozens of countries around the world, Mustafa is the author of "Time To Move On-the 7 Career Myths and What to Do About It."He's learned from experience. My guest has had a number of different career opportunities throughout his life-including everything from a pharmacist, diplomat, investment banker and more.He acknowledges all that his mom did for him throughout his life and is joining us for this conversation from Italy.Mustafa  shares  poignant stories of how his mother helped him get stronger by facing his adversities and explaining how she stood by him through all of his career transitions.Speaking seven languages has helped Mustafa throughout all of his different career choices, including years as a chemist, Egyptian Diplomat, working in banking and completing his MBA and becoming an author and starting his own business.Najat has played a crucial role in her son's  life. As in the Muslim culture, mothers play a significant role in the family. And Mustafa has always respected and adored his mother. He sees so many genuine similarities in their personalities and he's very proud to be her eldest son.When Najat was six years old, her father died. When Najat was sixteen, her mother died and she was left to raise her four younger brothers. She did have help from her grandmother but Najat went left school to work in a factory until her brothers were older and married. "She was the salvation of everybody around her," explains Mustafa. "She always had a smile on her face. She was kindhearted and she loves to hug." BOOK: Time To Move On, the 7 Career Myths and What To Do About It https://thepassionmba.comhttps://mustafaammar.com › .Social Media:Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.
