There are moments in life that don’t just make you smile — they make you pause, breathe deeply, and whisper Alhamdulillah.
Being featured by Connected Pakistan is one of those moments.
In 2022, I walked into the Connected Pakistan Conference not as a guest of honor, not as a speaker, and not as someone known in the industry — but as a learner. I had only PKR 800 in my account, a burning desire to grow, and an unshakeable belief that one day, Allah would honor my efforts.
Today, in 2025, I stand on the other side of that vision:
Honored. Featured. Recognized. And deeply grateful.
A Journey That Began With Nothing But Intention
Back in 2022, I wasn’t an Influencer.
I wasn’t a well-known name in E-Commerce or Marketing.
I wasn’t a person of influence or reach.
I was simply a girl hungry for learning — trying to change her life with limited resources but unlimited faith.
I remember attending the conference and looking up to the speakers thinking:
“One day, I want to stand there. One day, I want to be someone who inspires.”
At that moment, it felt far away.
But it never felt impossible.
Because when your intention is pure and your effort is consistent, even the impossible slowly starts bending in your favor.
2025 — The Year That Brought Everything Full Circle
This year, Connected Pakistan chose to feature me.
Not because of luck.
Not because of shortcuts.
But because of years of showing up when it was hardest to continue.
To be recognized by the very platform I once went to just to learn — that is a feeling I cannot put into simple words.
This feature is not about fame or attention.
It is about growth.
It is about patience.
It is about the quiet sacrifices nobody sees.
It is about believing in your future when your present gives you no evidence.
Why This Moment Means So Much
Getting featured by a platform like Connected Pakistan is more than an achievement — it’s a reminder that:
- You don’t need a perfect start.
- You don’t need money, background, or connections.
- You don’t need overnight success.
You need belief, effort, and consistency.
You need to keep building even when you’re tired.
You need to trust Allah’s timing when your own timelines break apart.
You need to show up even when nobody is watching.
Today’s recognition is built on years of unseen discipline.
A Message for Everyone Walking a Hard Path
If you’re reading this and you feel stuck…
If you’re learning with limited resources…
If your bank balance scares you…
If you feel like your dreams are too far…
Let my journey remind you:
“You can start with nothing and still become something.”
“Your struggle today is the same struggle that will one day become your story.”
“Consistency beats everything — talent, money, and opportunity.”
Your time is coming.
Just don’t quit before it does.
What This Means for My Mission as an Influencer
Being featured fuels my commitment even more.
As Baseerat Awan, my mission remains the same:
✨ To empower young people
✨ To simplify E-Commerce for beginners
✨ To guide others in digital Marketing
✨ To create real, practical opportunities for growth
✨ To use influence with sincerity, not ego
This recognition is not the peak — it is simply a milestone on a much longer journey.
Final Thoughts
From attending with PKR 800,
to being featured by Connected Pakistan,
to inspiring thousands through digital entrepreneurship —
this journey is a reminder of Allah’s mercy, timing, and wisdom.
Alhamdulillah for every step.
Alhamdulillah for every delay.
Alhamdulillah for every victory.
This is just the beginning.
