    About this ebook

    If life were a game, what would be the objective? This is a question I have been asking myself, my clients, and my friends for quite some time, with some very interesting responses. Some give a scientific answer to survive and replicate; this is definitely true for the human race to survive. Some say, I dont know, but by far and away, the most common response is to win. I then ask, What does that mean to win? This is where most people get stuck. This to me is like playing a game of soccer and having twenty-two players on the field and none of them really knowing what the objective of the game really is. That would make quite an interesting game to watch. There are very few people, in my opinion, who clearly understand what the main objective is and how to go about achieving this. Most people are simply playing the game not really knowing what their aim is. That is why I felt the need to explore this topic and to share with you what I have learnt.

    Keyan Mianji

    I was born on 11 September 1974, in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, three years after my sister Kimya was born. Both my parents were studying at universities in America, my father in hospitality and my mother in aesthetics. Three years later, we moved back to Iran, where my father worked in the hotel for the Shah of Iran and my mother as an aesthetician. The family then decided to move to Sydney, Australia, as a result of the Islamic revolution around 1981. It was not an easy task to leave Iran as the borders had been closed off, and the family had to be smuggled out of the country into neighbouring Afghanistan and then into Pakistan. Being the child of Middle Eastern parents, it was drilled into my head from a young age that my objective should be to practise medicine. This became my focus in life, and it was a great disappointment when I did not achieve the results required to enter medicine. However, there was a glimmer of hope as I was successful in acquiring the grade required for entry into medical science. I successfully completed my medical science degree in 1996 and attempted the GAMSAT exam for entry into medicine. For the second time in my life, I was extremely disappointed as I missed out on entry by a very narrow margin.

      I would also like to thank my laser clinic clients and staff who have over the years shared their life experiences with me and have put up with my constant lectures about life and happiness. Thank you.

      Foreword

      When I first met Keyan Mianji in March 2004 I’d been dabbling with Photoshop and was trying to create logos and websites for anybody that would trust me with their branding and money. Keyan needed some work done for another laser clinic he was trying to setup, but not for himself as he already had several. No, Keyan Mianji was helping his then roommate get established in a thriving industry his friend knew nothing about, into a clinic no more than 400 meters down the road from an existing one owned and operated by Keyan. Initially I didn’t understand why anybody would create competition for themselves, when most of us would have prolonged the ride at the top and tried to avoid coming down at all costs.

      I worked closely with Keyan and his friend for several months, trading graphic design services for free laser hair removal. I’d create a new brochure or letterhead and Keyan would train his friend to use the laser machine with me as their guinea pig. Keyan was indeed grooming me, joking around, building a relationship and getting me onside for the news I was about to hear. You see a short time later, and through the connection of mutual friends, I discovered that Keyan had taken a liking towards my sister Vivian. More concerning to me, was that Vivian had taken a keen interest in him! I quickly moved to
