How to Start an Online Business When You Have No Clue Where to Begin w/Akbar Sheikh

from Brainwashed To Be Broke · host Adam Rother

Most people do not stay broke because they lack information. They stay broke because they stay stuck in hesitation, fear, and mental noise.In this episode of Brainwashed To Be Broke, Akbar Sheikh breaks down the beliefs that keep people trapped, and the mindset shift that helped him go from repeated failure to real momentum. He shares how being raised around business shaped the way he sees freedom, risk, and possibility, and why most people never build anything because they never fully commit.This conversation gets into the real conflict behind entrepreneurship, not just tactics, but identity. Safety vs freedom. Thinking vs moving. Scarcity vs belief. Akbar makes the case that business is not as complicated as people make it, but your mindset will either unlock everything or quietly sabotage you.We also talk about the programming that teaches people to play small, stay “realistic,” and wait too long to act, while the people who win move fast, get help, and keep going.Key turning points in this conversation include:The way Akbar’s father trained him to think like a builder, not an employeeWhy he says success comes down to refusing to give upThe moment he realized the system was not broken, he was just approaching it wrongWhy offer, funnel, and traffic are the only three things most people need to focus onIn this conversation, you’ll learn:Why inaction is one of the biggest reasons people stay brokeHow mindset affects execution more than most entrepreneurs admitThe three business pieces Akbar believes matter most, offer, funnel, and trafficWhy hiring the right mentor can collapse years of confusionHow AI arbitrage creates one of the easiest entry points for new entrepreneurs todayGuest: Akbar SheikhConnect with Akbar Sheikh👇Website: akbarsheikh.comFree resource mentioned: akbarsheikh.com/giftIf this episode hit something real for you, subscribe, leave a comment, and share the part that challenged your thinking most.
