In 2006, I dared to dream, a dream so big , that it scared me. A dream to be on the cover of Arabian Business (AB). AB was more than a publication to me, it symbolized the epitome of success, so how on earth would a girl like me, ever grace its cover !! Nonetheless, I placed it on my Vision Board , dreamt bigger, prayed harder, worked hard, persevered and surrendered to the Powers of the Universe … 17 years later, my dream came true and my vision board came to life, in a way that surpassed all expectations. To have the most incredible, revered and respected @ultimatebozo intricately weave my story into words, was nothing short of magical, even if I was given the pen to write my own story, I could not have written it better. Anil @ultimatebozo wrote my cover story exactly and as perfectly as it was intended. Thank you @rajesh.raghav77 for your patience and the money shot .. 🙏🙏 The cover also came out (albeit 17 years later !!) at the most perfect time, on the same eve as our tech start up, co-founded w the incredible @davecatudal @lyvely Lyvely” was shortlisted for ‘Start Up of the Year.’ If anything, I really hope this post inspires you to dream big, to dream the impossible and to never give up on your dreams, even if you have to wait 17 years .. For the universe will make all your dreams come true at the most perfect time in the most grandest of ways. Thank you @carlosyeghiazarian for your continued support, thank you @arabianbusiness @mattamlot @rajesh.raghav77 and the fabulous Anil for writing my story and making a girls dreams come true. You have strengthened my fervent belief in the power of the Universe, God and Prayer. 🙏 Thank you Universe, thank you to the power of my parents prayers, God, Energy, Love and Light … tonight I see you, feel you and thank you with all that I am, my heart and soul 🙏🙏 thank you to my dubai family and ever supportive boyfriend @nicholaskjaer for your unrivaled support @carlosyeghiazarian @normakoukjian @nicholaskjaer @davecatudal @lifebylizey @rohit_v_bafna #dreamsdocometrue #visiontoreality #dreambig #techstartup #techceo #wegotthis 🙏🙏

✨My dad used to say: “Be the hardest working person in the room” and this advice is one of the best that I have ever gotten #advice #lawer #success #motivation

I am a UK qualified solicitor, admitted to the Supreme Court of England & Wales and so very often I am being asked, by young women and men, about the choice of becoming a lawyer and whether that’s a right career choice for them. 📌My advice to all is to follow your passion, because once you follow your passion, you can reach the heights of success.   I love the art of being a lawyer, you have to have clear communication skills, the ability to navigate through complex situations and to find the optimum solution and I love the game , I love winning, be that a litigation case, a complex transaction and negotiating with flair and aptitude to achieve the best result.   My journey now of being a tech CEO / Entrpreneur has not been an easy one, but one with many challenges of understanding a whole new ecosystem, how to build a tech product that can be on a global stage, managing and leading tech teams and how to do you convert vision to success.   #ceo #businessdubai #lawer #success

With more than 20 years’ experience in the Middle East, I am grateful to have collected an enormous amount of experience of what it takes to build, grow and list billion-dollar entities and make them regional and global players. What is the secret? ✨The secret is clear vision, the ability to execute on such vision and to have unwavering faith to execute on your dreams. ✨You also need to build the right team, I believe in hiring people based on DNA, loyalty, trust, respect ... if you have those 3 crucial elements and you can harness a team to believe in your vision and you can motivate them to deliver, that is when a company can experience true growth and success. ✨Never underestimate the power of a team, even if that team consists of 2 people .. likeminded people, aligned vision and motivation to succeed all working towards a common goal is key. ✨Strategy and Focus! In order to be what you want to be, you have to know what it is you want, and have a strong and focussed strategy on how to get there and work on this every single day. .every day you should ask yourself, what have I done / achieved today to get me to where I want to be. #businesswoman #businesswomandubai #middleeastbusiness #dubai
