I’m Sayid Bilal.

I was born in the Netherlands and raised between Egypt and Indonesia. I studied systems engineering, and that way of thinking shapes how I coach.

Putting intention
into practice.

I studied engineering and solved complex problems daily. Yet I struggled to manage my own finances. That gap between knowing and doing is central to my work.

Life design means deciding what matters to you and giving it a place in your everyday life. We choose a direction, make room for a meaningful priority and build a week that supports it.

My faith shapes that work. The five daily prayers give the day a rhythm to build around. Our values guide the decisions about what deserves our time.

A direction you cannot name cannot be followed.
