An Entrepreneur in Oman

Being an entrepreneur in Oman can be something! But you never know what that thing is until you get involved from the beginning and experience the difficulties that every single person suffers to get through for success.

I used to work in a government sector for 10 years and at some stage if felt that I am missing something out there. I felt that I was stopped from expressing myself and if I do so I used to get judged by others for being different and not like them and that to them meant that I was Big Mistake to be Omani! 

Since that time I insisted on leaving my job and saying good bye to my retirement. Of course that was not accepted by my family and neither my friends. And that created distance between me and them!

But, that didn’t stop me from following my dream of getting out of the box and learn new stuff. I wanted to see how people live and what they think and what they experience in their lives away from the work environment.

Despite the fact that I never had any business experience and never studied business, I decided to challenge myself and go for it.  I registered my company before leaving my job and I started studying about setting up business through the UK editions on DUMIES books that were related to business and business plans. Trust me it worked well with me.

After 6 months I left my job and that was the disaster with my family. They thought I was crazy and out of my mind. I tried to explain to them that life doesn’t stop without a government job and we have to move on with life in a different perspective, but I couldn’t convince them! 

I kept going and said time will show what I am trying to do and there is no point in pushing it to convince them to trust me.

With my own funding I set up everything and that makes me even work harder to reach to something I will be proud of in the future.
