For Akbar Sheikh, the order of priorities is simple: God first, family second, business third.
It’s a framework that has guided his journey from homelessness to millionaire entrepreneur, shaping his company, Make More Give More, into a mission-driven movement.
Balance at the Core
While many entrepreneurs glorify long hours and sacrifice, Sheikh disagrees. “Even when I was homeless, I didn’t work 40 hours a week—and I still don’t,” he explains. “Your family has a right over you. Balance is key.”
This balance hasn’t slowed him down—it’s sustained him. It’s also why his company emphasizes not just profit, but purpose.
Building With Intention
“Our mission is to help others make more to give more,” Sheikh says. “Entrepreneurs deserve businesses that let them provide for their families, serve their communities, and give back to charities. That’s how we make the world a better place.”
This philosophy has fueled his company’s growth, while also giving him the resilience to weather obstacles.
Action Over Hesitation
For those just starting out, Sheikh’s advice is simple: “Go big, and go fast. Success loves speed. The difference between the ones who make it and the ones who don’t is action and implementation. Put your phone away, get a mentor, follow a blueprint, and execute.”
A Legacy Beyond Business
Though Sheikh once dreamed of retirement, a client named Michelle changed his mind. After helping her autistic child speak—and eventually sing—she used Sheikh’s marketing systems to share her methods with families worldwide.
“When I heard that, I knew I couldn’t retire,” Sheikh recalls. “I’ve got to keep going and build more stories like this.”
