He believes in helping people grow and reach their goals, both in life and in business.
Learning from others has played a big part in Farid’s journey. Mentors helped him develop both in sports as a child and later in the business world. He also learned a lot from coaching young athletes when he was a teenager.
Early on, coaches in ski racing taught him lessons he still uses.
Later, business mentors guided him as he helped others launch small companies.

He sees coaching as more than a job title. It is a way of thinking and acting, whether he is working with clients, leading a team, or building tools for others.

Helped people use the right tools to begin their businesses.

Today, even if his official title has changed, he keeps a coach’s mindset as he builds technology and works with his team. For Farid, business is not just about selling products but about building strong, long-lasting relationships and helping others reach their goals.
Finding a path into coaching often happens through life changes. For some, it starts after leaving a job and looking for new ways to share skills and knowledge. Previous experience in consulting or mentoring can make the change to coaching feel natural. Using skills from past work, people can help others start businesses or solve real-world problems.
Table: Steps Often Taken Before Becoming a Coach
Experience Example Consulting or side gigs Helping others with business advice Past coaching/mentoring Coaching sports or peer mentoring Life events Career changes or job loss
Coaching brings many rewards for both the coach and the people they help. When coaches share their ideas or support, they often see how small actions can leave a big mark. People who are coached sometimes return years later to share the good changes that came from simple advice or support. These moments can bring energy and joy to the coach, showing that helping others makes a real difference.
Benefits of Coaching:
Builds stronger leadership skills
Boosts confidence for both coach and learner
Helps others reach their own goals
Grows a sense of purpose
Mentors and coaches often shape a person’s path even after their formal role is over. The advice and lessons given by a mentor can help guide important choices and personal growth for years. Even if someone moves on to a new job or starts a new business, the principles learned from a coach, such as honest help and truly caring, stay with them. Many people continue to use these lessons in their own work, building a long-lasting culture of support and kindness.
List: Ways Mentors Leave a Lasting Mark
Teaching the value of helping others
Encouraging honest, human connections
Inspiring future coaches and leaders
Promoting lifelong learning and improvement
Good leaders are made through experience and learning. Many people develop leadership skills by helping others, working with mentors, and teaching what they know. Mentors can make a big difference by sharing advice and support. Helping others reach their goals helps leaders learn patience, understanding, and the importance of clear communication.
Some leadership skills include:
Listening to the needs of others
Giving honest, caring feedback
Solving real problems
Being consistent and dependable
Supporting people goes beyond just giving advice. It means building routines and systems that make daily life smoother. By creating these kinds of systems, it is easier to get things done and stay on track.
A basic supportive system could look like this:
Action Step Purpose Example Making checklists Stay organized and focused Daily to-dos Tracking progress See improvement over time Habit tracker Asking for feedback Learn and adjust quickly Weekly reviews
Using simple tools and routines keeps life balanced and less stressful. Each person or team can adjust systems to fit their own needs.
Growth comes from learning new things and changing how you approach problems. Coaching and helping others lets people see the value of sharing experience and wisdom. Personal growth is ongoing; it does not end with one lesson or success.
Tips to keep developing:
Stay open to learning and feedback
Practice new skills often
Support others, and let them support you
By focusing on improvement, anyone can better their leadership and keep building strong systems in their life.
Entrepreneurs use artificial intelligence to make starting a business easier. AI can help identify problems, organize tasks, and offer solutions faster than traditional methods. Business coaches often recommend simple AI tools that beginners can use from day one.
Benefits of AI for startups:
Faster decision-making
Automated routine tasks
Simplified problem solving
Below is a table showing some common ways AI is used in new businesses:
Area of Business Example Use Customer support Chatbots handling questions Marketing Automated ad campaigns Operations Scheduling and reminders Data analysis Basic reports and insights
AI can automate many parts of a business, but people are still important. Some business tasks, like advising clients or understanding personal goals, need a human touch. Leaders must choose when to use technology and when to rely on personal experience.
Tips for finding the right balance:
Listen to what your clients want, not just what tech can deliver.
Use automation for repetitive work but handle personal communication yourself.
Regularly review what should stay human-led as your business grows.
Technology changes quickly and AI is always improving. Businesses must constantly learn and adjust to stay on top. This means both leaders and teams need to stay open to new tools and ideas.
Simple ways to adapt:
Test new AI tools as they are released.
Attend workshops or online classes about technology updates.
Ask team members for feedback on what works and what could improve.
Staying flexible helps companies get the most out of AI while keeping their business goals in mind.
Taking on a coaching mindset means focusing on helping others reach their goals. This approach is not just about teaching; it is about listening, giving honest feedback, and caring about each person's progress. Using past experiences as both a mentor and a coach can help others feel supported and motivated.
Listening first: Understand needs before giving advice
Encouraging growth: Share tools and ideas to help others move forward
Offering honest feedback: Be clear and kind about what works and what needs improvement
Instead of trying to convince people to buy something, it helps to think of sales as a way to solve real problems. This means acting more like an advisor than a seller. The goal should be to find out what someone actually needs and suggest the right solution, not just the easiest one to sell.
Sales as Guidance Sales as Selling Focuses on needs Focuses on products Offers real help Pushes for a sale Builds trust Can feel pushy
Helping someone make a smart choice leads to better experiences for everyone involved.
True value comes from building lasting relationships, not just quick sales. When people know they can count on ongoing support and clear communication, trust grows. Being there over time—especially when things change quickly—shows real commitment and helps both sides succeed.
Key parts of ongoing value:
Staying in touch after the sale
Changing plans as needs change
Being available for questions or problems
A focus on long-term value builds trust, encourages feedback, and helps both sides reach better outcomes.
Taking time to listen to clients is important. They all have different goals and struggles. By asking questions and having open talks, it is easier to find out what matters most to each person.
Using a simple checklist or asking clients to rate their needs can help make sure nothing is missed:
Client Need Importance (1-5) Easy-to-use tools Personal support Flexible solutions
Every organization is different, and so are the people behind them. Instead of using the same method for everyone, it helps to match technology or systems to what works best for each user.
This could mean:
Adjusting tools so they fit different working styles
Making sure automation helps, not replaces, what people are good at
Changing support based on the skills and comfort level of each client
A strong relationship is key for long-term success. Clients should feel they can rely on support whenever they need it, not just at the start.
Ways to keep trust strong include:
Regular check-ins, even after a solution is launched
Honest advice, not just sales talks
Clear, friendly communication about how new tools or changes affect the team
In every step, focusing on real human needs makes services more useful and lasting.
