Entrepreneurship is often measured in revenue and market share. But Akbar Sheikh, founder of Make More Give More, believes it should be measured in lives changed.
His business model is built around a simple but powerful idea: help people make more so they can give more.
From Rock Bottom to Purpose-Driven Leader
Sheikh’s own journey was anything but easy. Living without hot water or even a shower, he started from the lowest point imaginable. Yet those struggles sharpened his vision.
“I don’t think you can fail in business—I think you can only give up,” he says. “The moment I became a millionaire was the moment I decided I REFUSE TO GIVE UP.”
Giving as the Growth Strategy
The pivotal decision in his rise was shifting focus from transactions to transformation. “If we look at everyone like a number, it’s hard to win. But if we look at everyone’s pain and use our gifts to heal it—that’s when the magic happens,” he explains.
That philosophy has not only fueled his personal success but also amplified the reach of his clients.
Building Entrepreneurs Who Give Back
Sheikh coaches aspiring founders to focus on three essentials:
-
A mentor.
-
A blueprint.
-
Laser focus free of distractions.
“Success loves speed,” he stresses. “Take massive action. Implement quickly. That’s how you win.”
Expanding Impact Through Stories Like Michelle’s
Perhaps the most powerful testament to Sheikh’s mission is Michelle, a client who used his strategies to bring her breakthrough therapy for autistic children to a global audience.
“She took her child from silence to singing,” Sheikh recalls. “Then she helped countless others. When I saw that, I realized—this is why I’m here. I need to create more stories like hers.”
Wealth With a Higher Purpose
For Sheikh, business is no longer about personal gain. It’s about using wealth as a lever for good—transforming not just balance sheets, but human lives.
