Abeir Tawil's Story 

 - Founder & President

  

I’m Abeir Tawil, a proud graduate of the University of Toledo, where I majored in Supply Chain Management and Marketing. While in college, I worked full-time as an assistant manager for Guess. By age of 18, I was the youngest hiring, coaching, and training staff, all while focusing on boosting sales and helping my team reach their full potential. Consistently hitting record top sales, I realized early on that I loved solving problems and helping businesses grow.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, workplaces were left short-staffed, and it felt like no one had the same work ethic anymore. It was frustrating to watch businesses struggle, but it also opened my eyes to a solution. That’s when I discovered the incredible potential of Filipino virtual assistants. Their dedication, work ethic, and skills completely blew me away, and I knew I could help businesses tap into this talent to grow smarter and faster.

At the same time, I was at home with my kids and trying to fill the void by picking up hobbies and even considering turning them into businesses. But no matter what I tried, it just didn’t feel right, I knew my heart was capable of bigger and better things. Motherhood is a job of its own and it left me exhausted but I was determined to not lose myself in that process. I picked myself up and realized I could use my skills and experience to create something meaningful that could help others.

That’s why I started Silk Road to Gold. I wanted to give businesses the tools and support they need to get back on track, save time, and scale. I understand how overwhelming it can be to manage everything, and I’m passionate about helping others find balance and success. Let’s scale our businesses by working smarter, not harder, together!

Al Tawil's Story 

 - Executive Coach

& Performance Strategist

Hi, I’m Al Tawil. I know what it’s like to feel buried under the weight of running a business. Fresh out of high school, I joined our family business in a small Ohio town, eager to make a difference. I poured everything I had into it six days a week, 12+ hours a day. But as the years went on, I found myself trapped in a relentless cycle of emails, admin work, and endless problem-solving. I was exhausted, missing moments with my family, and the pressure was taking its toll.

I knew I couldn’t keep going that way. Something had to change. That’s when Abeir & I started exploring automation and virtual assistants. The road wasn’t smooth, I faced setbacks, unreliable hires, and plenty of mistakes. But I refused to give up. Step by step, I built a system that worked. In just 12 months, our business grew by 22%, and for the first time in years, I had time to focus on growth, and my family. The business became more efficient, and I finally felt like I had my life back.

That journey taught me that the key to success isn’t just about working harder, it’s about working smarter. It’s about building systems that empower you to step away from the day-to-day chaos so you can focus on the things only you can do. For me, it was spending time with my loved ones and thinking bigger about where I wanted to take the business. For you, it might be something different, but the freedom and clarity are worth it.

Now, I help other business owners escape that same grind. I show them how to reclaim 10-20+ hours a week, scale their businesses, and focus on what matters most, all without losing control or sacrificing quality. It’s about building a business that works for you, not the other way around.
