Gradually, his experiences and mindset positioned him to take the lead in helping other patients and their families navigate the cancer treatment process. Opportunities to help people started coming his way. His experience combined with his desire to help others and his ability to relate to people on a personal level naturally made him a specialist in cancer rehabilitation. His business message is one that many people recognize and need.

One of Riaz’s prograns that he’s developing is called Road To Survivorship, supporting people in their cancer recovery without the fear of cancer coming back.

Expert action steps:

- Respond, don’t react. When you’re making decisions, make them based on information, not on emotion. Specifically, fear.

- Risk-benefit ratio. Calculate whether any risks you might take are worth the outcome. If what you’re doing doesn’t align with your purpose, don’t do it.

- Self-regulation. Recognize when you have the best time and ability to make decisions.
