#FahimFix

Fahim was invited at the end of May to speak to the Grand Island Rotary Club about building a community business through leadership and team building. He talked about seven main tips to success, as mentioned by one of his favorite speakers, Lewis Howes, who also hosts the successful podcast The School of Greatness. In his talk, Fahim also talked about the importance of being a servant leader and inspiring teams through character building and personal development, something we

Seema and I have been married for almost 25 years (since Sept 1996). For 15 of those years, I have repeatedly asked her to give me permission to skydive. And, just like clockwork, she has repeatedly and emphatically said, “No!” This past February, as a surprise to her for our upcoming 25th Anniversary, I took her to Los Cabos, Mexico. It was a magical vacation, not only because it was with my beloved life partner, but also because it was the first vacation she and I took in

On Thursday, April 1st, Fahim gave a speech at Niagara University (NU) in front of a hybrid communications class. Several students attended the class in person but most were listening online via Zoom. Our dear friend Professor Patrick Tutka from NU had invited him to speak to his class some time ago and this date worked perfectly for everyone. During his talk, which Anthony filmed entirely, Fahim talked about many of his struggles and his motivation in life. He also talked ab

In this video, Fahim talks to Anthony about three top tips to success, as mentioned by Les Brown: Proper mindset, OQP (Only Quality People), and learning clear, effective communication. He ends the video talking about Simon Sinek's principle (and the title of his newest book) The Infinite Principle, that people are finite but business is infinite and needs to be treated that way if it is to outlast the business owner. As first generation business owners, we are both very awar

Sidney Tarver is one of our dear clients at the Island Ship Center. He’s an entrepreneur who also played a year in the National Football League. We were truly honored and grateful to host him for a few hours recently as he spoke some words of wisdom to our team, including the importance of authenticity, gratitude, discipline and consistency. He called his visits to the #SpaOfShipping​ as “therapeutic,” and we were elated. He began his talk by asking our team, “Would you be wi

John and Denise from Minnesota are our dear friends. They own Postal Dispatch Business Center in Bloomington. We have learned so much from them over the years. A few years ago, we traveled to their store to study their operations so that we could grow our printing business. When we returned, we told them that we would be back because one visit was just not enough. Last year, due to the pandemic, we had to cancel our tickets to Minneapolis. A couple of weeks ago, a special gif

After constantly debating with the Island Ship Center team, Fahim has finally decided to take the leap and purchase an iPhone for use at the store and for the business. He's been an Android user since 2008 so there was a significant learning curve. However, all the wonderful ISC family members, all of whom own iPhones, made this transition almost seamless. Watch as Fahim goes through the transformation. He especially loves the Facetime and Face ID features. He also loves the
