My Journey To Digital World

🌟 My Journey into the Digital World – Muhammad Shayan Sajid

In 2021, I took my very first step into the digital world — a step that would shape my future in ways I never imagined.

At the time, life was simple. I used to get just 50 to 100 PKR as daily pocket money. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to fuel a dream. I had a deep curiosity for technology, design, and online business, but no clear path — just raw passion and a strong belief that I could do something meaningful.

Then came the opportunity that changed everything…

🎓 The Course That Started It All

I enrolled in a 2-month graphics designing course at the University of Spoken English Language and Computer Science, a well-known institute in Peshawar. The course fee was just 7,000 PKR, but for me and my family, that amount felt big at the time. Still, with support, savings, and sacrifice, we managed it — because I knew this was my chance.

That classroom became my launchpad. I started learning the basics of design:

  • Photoshop

  • Illustrator

  • Color theory

  • Branding

  • And most importantly, how to bring imagination to life

I would stay up late practicing, watching tutorials, and creating things that didn’t exist before — posters, logos, mockups. Every project gave me confidence, and every design was a step closer to the future I dreamed of.

💻 Entering the Digital World

That course didn’t just teach me software — it opened my eyes to the digital economy.

I realized that with skills, a laptop, and an internet connection, I could serve clients anywhere in the world — right from my room in Peshawar.

From that point on, I never looked back.

💼 Where It Took Me

Today, I’m proud to say that I:

  • Founded my own company, ZULF SMC-PVT LTD

  • Offer graphics design, digital marketing, and e-commerce services

  • Work with platforms like Amazon, Shopify, and TikTok Shop

  • Serve clients both in Pakistan and internationally

  • Continue learning, growing, and helping others do the same

🙏 Final Thoughts

That 7,000 PKR course, funded during a time when I only had 50–100 PKR a day, was the best investment of my life.

It proved that you don’t need a big budget to begin — just big dreams and relentless effort.

If you’re reading this and thinking of starting — start now. No matter how small. The first step is always the hardest, but it’s also the most important.

The Secret Behind Habit Formation – What a Cat Taught Us!

  Have you ever wondered how habits are formed in your brain? Why do we keep repeating certain actions without even thinking? The answer lies in a fascinating experiment conducted over a hundred years ago by psychologist Edward Thorndike. Thorndike was curious about how behavior is shaped. He placed cats inside a box — now famously known as a "puzzle box". The only way for the cat to escape was to perform a specific action, like pressing a lever or pulling a string. At first, the cat would move randomly, scratching at corners, poking its nose, and exploring. But by chance, it would eventually press the right lever — the door would open — and the cat would escape to find food waiting outside. Thorndike repeated this experiment with several cats. What he found was astonishing: with each repetition, the cats learned quicker. From taking 160 seconds in the first attempt, some cats took only 6 seconds after 20–30 trials! Why? Because the brain was learning. It associated pre...

🌄 A Refreshing Tour to Murree & Islamabad – and a 1% Shift in My Life

SUPPORT This Sunday and Monday, I decided to take a short tour to Murree and Islamabad for refreshment — not just for my body, but also for my mind. It wasn’t just a break; it was part of my 1% habit change journey — a small yet meaningful step toward a better version of myself. Walking on the Mall Road of Murree , with the cool breeze, vibrant crowd, and the sound of laughter in the air, I felt truly alive. I avoided distractions and tried to be mindful of every moment. Instead of wasting time scrolling, I took notes, captured ideas, and soaked in inspiration. 💡 A Business Idea Born in the Hills While observing the crowd at Mall Road, a powerful idea came to me: Why not start a fast food stall in this busy spot? The footfall here is amazing — from families to tourists, everyone is in a happy mood and willing to spend. A clean, affordable, and high-quality fast food setup (maybe even themed) could do really well here. The demand is already there; it just needs a good, managed s...

Changing Mindset: A Personal Journey From Overthinking to Creative Thinking

                                                                     Two days ago, I stepped out of my comfort zone and went to the park with just one goal: to record a video about how successful people think differently. Sounds simple, right? But it wasn’t. I had the script written, I knew what I wanted to say, but when it came to speaking in front of the camera, surrounded by people, birds, and distractions — it wasn’t easy. But that’s what the whole message of the video was about — breaking through hesitation, confusion, and fear by changing your mindset. The video talks about how most people stay stuck in life not because they lack talent, but because they overthink and never act. Successful people, on the other hand, don’t avoid problems — they solve them. And they train their minds to think creatively , no...
