I always think of life as a journey. Each stop along the way has given me the opportunity to further discover myself and shape my dreams. Sometimes I’ve fallen, sometimes I’ve gotten back up, but I’ve never stopped moving ahead. This page exists to share a piece of that journey and shed some light on yours.
Every challenge I’ve faced has taught me a story and a lesson. For example, I faced financial challenges while starting my own business. These challenges taught me valuable lessons about budgeting. They also taught me about resource management. Yet, the emotional turmoil and depression I experienced during this process required me to embark on an inner journey. At this point, the teachings of Wayne Dyer and Jeffrey Young‘s Schema Therapy approaches helped me rebuild myself. Why am I sharing this journey with you? Because every lesson life has taught me can now be a light to guide others. What I learned at Istanbul Technical University laid a solid foundation for my entrepreneurial journey. Still, it was the people I inspired and their thoughts that grew this foundation. Every lesson life has taught me is now a light to guide others.
Childhood and the Power of Dreams
Each of us still carries that childlike side within us. But we think we lose it as we grow older. Yet, a child always pursues their dreams, unwaveringly, passionately, and without fully understanding their goals. And for this, they use the toys they have. For us adults, these toys are different. Maybe it’s a company, a project, or even a work of art. But the real goal is to relive the pure joy of dreaming and creating. No matter where you are in your life, maintaining this childlike passion can be your greatest source of motivation.
This is precisely the main motivation behind my entrepreneurial journey. I want to create “grown-up toys” to realize my dreams. My goal is to use these toys to help both myself and others. Robert Kiyosaki’s “Cashflow Quadrant” theory guided me in this regard. Financial freedom is a critical necessity for pursuing your dreams and making them a reality.
One of my dreams was to found companies that help people. For example, I aimed to contribute to society by creating a company that produces environmentally friendly products. But this wasn’t just about making money; it was about leaving a meaningful legacy. Before I die, I want to look back and feel at peace. I want to have the peace of mind knowing I made a difference in the world. This requires working with a mindset free from material concerns and focused entirely on creation and giving. Thus, creating financial abundance and sustainable sources of income became more than just a tool for me. It was a foundation for achieving my dreams.
Life’s Turning Points
Life’s turning points shape us all. I faced risks when starting my first company. The ways I managed these risks helped me grow both in business and personally. There’s an art to taking risks; when calculated correctly, they open the door to new opportunities. Thus, understanding how to balance risks and opportunities should be one of the entrepreneur’s most important skills. In this regard, Ralph Waldo Emerson’s words, “The greatest success in life is facing our fears,” always stick with me.
1. Idea Evaluation and Business Model Development
Everything starts with an idea. But bringing an idea to life requires not only imagination but also proper planning. One of the most important theories that inspired my entrepreneurial journey was Robert Kiyosaki‘s “Cashflow Quadrant.” This theory taught me how to create and sustain diverse income streams for financial independence. Kiyosaki’s ideas showed me that a business is much more than just making money. A business means creating a legacy. It also means adding value and inspiring others.
Along the way, I’ve used Alexander Osterwalder‘s “Business Model Canvas” to solidify my ideas. This framework has played a significant role in structuring each startup idea and helping me see the bigger picture. Every business idea has growth potential. The key is to uncover this potential with the right questions.
“Seeing how far an idea can grow is one of the most exciting moments in entrepreneurship.”
2. Designing Workflows and Creating Organizational Structures
A solid structure is essential for a good idea to transform into a successful venture. This is where Patrick Lencioni’s writings on teamwork guided me. Properly organizing and streamlining a team is one of the cornerstones of a sustainable business model. Michael Gerber’s book “E-Myth Revisited” enlightened me with its insights on process standardization and automation.
There’s a truth I’ve learned in life: Underneath everything that appears complex lies an incomplete system. This lack of a system impacts not only productivity but also people’s enjoyment of their work. Improving business processes makes work both easier and more enjoyable. Thus, visualizing and streamlining workflows has made my work and my life much more organized. I added transparency to my business model. As a result, I’ve established significant trust within the team. It has also strengthened external customer relationships.

There’s a truth I’ve learned in life: Underneath everything that appears complex lies an incomplete system. This lack of a system impacts not only productivity but also people’s enjoyment of their work. Improving business processes makes work both easier and more enjoyable. So, visualizing and streamlining workflows has made my work and my life much more organized. At the same time, I added transparency to my business model. This has established significant trust within the team. It has also built trust in external customer relationships.
Transparency is one of the most critical elements of these processes. For example, by digitizing internal workflows, I’ve made all processes visible to everyone. Everything within the company is measurable and trackable. This allows us to focus on real productivity without wasting time on paperwork. Both processes and teams work more effectively.Transparency is one of the most critical elements of these processes.

The Human Side of Things
Business success comes not only from systems but also from the people who manage them. Yet, motivating and communicating with team members isn’t always easy. The impact of emotional difficulties within a team, in particular, is a crucial challenge for leaders to handle. Wayne Dyer‘s teachings on positive thinking have helped me develop healthier relationships with myself. They also improved how I interact with my team members. Jeffrey Young‘s Schema Therapy techniques have also been instrumental in this process. Teamwork becomes truly effective when people’s motivations and strengths are uncovered in the workplace. Patrick Lencioni’s suggestions on this topic have consistently guided me in creating harmony within a team.
3. Digitalization and Automation of Processes
The greatest advantage technology has brought to our lives is the ability to get things done faster and more efficiently. Darren Hardy‘s “Compound Effect” theory taught me that it’s possible to make big differences with small but continuous steps. Thanks to this theory, I better understand each small advancement in digitalization processes. These small changes can have a significant impact in the long run.
Jeffrey Pfeffer‘s “Lean Thinking” approach demonstrated the criticality of lean management. This management is crucial for both reducing costs and utilizing resources more efficiently. By digitizing processes, I saved time and costs. In this process, automation tools became not just an assistant, but a true companion.
By reducing human errors, they allow companies to be managed more efficiently and predictably.
4. Team Building and Leadership Training
As a leader, my biggest goal is to discover the potential of every individual on my team. I strive to bring out the best in them. Patrick Lencioni’s writings on teamwork helped me understand the strengths of my team members. Furthermore, Brian Tracy‘s “Goals!” theory emphasized the importance of setting clear goals and bringing together the right personality types to achieve them.
Building a team isn’t just about bringing the right people together. It’s also about creating an environment where they can work together harmoniously. Patrick Lencioni’s theories on collaboration and teamwork guided me in this process. Still, leadership isn’t just about systems and strategies; it also involves emotional intelligence. The suggestions of Wayne Dyer and Jeffrey Young helped me understand team dynamics and achieve emotional balance. Through these approaches, discovering team members’ strengths and leveraging them holistically helped me increase team harmony. Bringing out people’s creative potential and delegating routine tasks to automation positively affected the dynamics within the company.
5. System Improvement with Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is an incredible transformational tool in the business world. The strategic thinking approach discussed in Napoleon Hill‘s book “Think and Grow Rich” was very inspiring. This approach played a significant role in integrating AI into my business processes. Sun Tzu‘s book “The Art of War” emphasized the importance of strategic planning to gain a competitive advantage.
I learned to make processes more efficient using AI tools. I incorporated AI into my work to reduce human errors. AI accelerates decision-making processes and improves cost management. At the same time, AI frees entrepreneurs from negative interactions and time wasted within teams. This allows them to direct their energy toward more productive projects. It creates a balance within the company by focusing people’s creative energy and taking on repetitive workloads.
Finally
The most important thing I’ve learned on this journey is that we must first discover our inner child. This will help us pursue our dreams. I drew inspiration from Robert Kiyosaki’s theories. This inspiration has guided me in the business world. It has also guided me in life itself. Because dreams know no age limits.
