From the moment I was 20 years old, I hate saving money because I love investing money.

The first project I started in was a women's clothing store in 2005, i worked on the shop and I was responsible for it and it was working perfectly, then I worked a call center project.

Then I did a project to sell the meters of taxis as it spread then taxi in Yemen which with the meter but the regular taxi broke down so I wanted to enter this area and this special idea and I can benefit others.

Until it reaches the customers, I had the idea of a marketing company project.


3. What has been your biggest challenge that you faced and how did you overcome that?

The biggest challenge I faced is the beginning any first stage need a team need to collect the largest database work free offer for marketing for companies and get to them the biggest problem that the percentage that agreed to accept our offer to them in marketing for free is 0% because most of the large entities had difficulty in trusting us to market them until we succeeded through one of the team to communicate with one hand and agreed to accept our offer and then we set off.

The most important characteristic of a successful businessman is awareness, i.e. to understand what is in him and where he wants to reach and must be persistent and persistent because life cannot smile at you from the first time necessary to tire once, twice and ten times in order to reach the goal you want.
