Successful entrepreneurs, how do we create them and how do you become one of them?

In the recent periods of the modern era, the term “entrepreneurship” and emerging projects have spread widely in the world, which naturally affected us in the Arab region. Many of us began turning to entrepreneurship and creating emerging projects that are able to compete and work to solve realistic problems and provide real value to the consumer or user. However, unfortunately, there are many misunderstood concepts about entrepreneurs or self-made people, as Raouf Shabayek calls them and as I like to call them as well. In this article, we will take a brief look at entrepreneurship and Arab projects that have achieved great success. Indeed. If you see yourself as a distinguished entrepreneur, leader, and self-made person, read this article to take your first step into a world full of adventures and difficulties as well.

Hassoub, a success story on Arab soil. Share with us, why do you want to become an entrepreneur? They are, just like you, the successful and seasoned entrepreneurs in this world. They do not differ from you in appearance, structure, or even in mind. All that separates them from you and me is that they are initiators, always seeking change, and their motto is to make the world a better place to live in, by finding smart and creative solutions to the problems they encounter in life. Truly, they are just like you. You must take the initiative and take the step and risk until you reach what they have achieved. You must fail in order to succeed!

Yes, why not? Success is the transition from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm. This is true success - proving to yourself that you are capable of changing this world. God gave us minds that think and create. Try to come up with an idea and solution for every problem you face and use this solution to save other people from falling into the same problem, and make the world a better place. Entrepreneurs are the four pillars of projects. There are four basic pillars that you must pay attention to in order to achieve success in entrepreneurship and be a distinguished self-made person in your field. They are the idea, the product, the team, and implementation. We will try to take a look at each of them relatively quickly. 1- The idea The idea is important, but it is not the most important thing.

I am amazed at some people who spend their whole lives searching for an idea for a startup project, as if the idea is everything, and in reality it is nothing without implementation. Perhaps someone will tell you that your idea is not suitable, because not everyone has your genius and intellect. The idea does not have to be new at all, but rather it must have something better, a new structure for one of the services or products that overcomes the competitor. Google was not the first search engine, and Facebook was not the first social network. They started where others left off. Ideas are first-class creativity. The idea that solves a problem, affects people, and changes a culture is the one worth working on. The idea is not the most important thing, it is really worth nothing. Without implementation. A capable entrepreneur does not need a genius idea to succeed, so do not waste time searching for a genius idea.

2-Product What product will you offer to your audience or to consumers in general? Does it meet a need they have or solve a problem? Is it suitable for users, friendly to them, and gives them a wonderful user experience that enables them to recommend it to others? The product must be wonderful, creative, and very innovative. In order to create a great company, you must have a great idea and a great product. Without high-quality products and services, you are nothing, and nothing of value you have is worth buying of course.

Do something that users love, talk to them and get to know their needs and problems closely. Many companies that fail in their infancy, the reason for their failure is that they do like others without anything new or innovative. You can start with a simple product that targets specific segments and then begin to gradually expand until you reach what you want.

The first version of Facebook was not what it is now. It was much less simple and of course less functional, and the first version of the Google search engine was not what you see now. At this stage, you must focus on functionality as well as on receiving user feedback continuously, and try to develop your product permanently and continuously, and follow the growth process of your product, etc. 3- The team. I think that this part is one of the most important parts, if not the most important, because without a work team you are nothing, and you will not have a startup project. The work team is the team that will help you reach success. Imagine that your project is like a horse or a “horse” in a horse race. The ground on which the horses race is the market, the jockey is the work team, and the horse itself. It is the idea. Without a knight, you will not be able to achieve anything. Choosing the work team must be done with professionalism and extreme care.

In one of the studies that was conducted on international business incubators and investment companies in emerging projects, which was examining the issue of the things that these companies look at when choosing the projects in which they will invest, and the work team of this project was the first criterion for selecting projects, the problem is not whether the idea is excellent or good, the idea is in the team that will work to implement this idea, is it able to produce it in an ideal way or not. In order to succeed with your project, you need a conscious and persistent team that believes in your idea more than you do, hopes to change the world, just like you, fears for your project more than yourself, is passionate about work and is willing to not sleep for long days just because he loves what he does. I do not want to talk about the characteristics of the team or people that you must take into consideration when choosing your team. Perhaps we will talk about it later if time and opportunity permit.

4- Implementation: Now you have an idea and an enthusiastic and persistent work team, it is time to take off, time to change the world and solve problems, to make the world a better place. Develop the initial version of your product, follow the growth rates, and implement your ideas professionally and creatively until you reach what you want. Entrepreneurship is not a treasure containing the universe’s money. On the contrary, you will face severe difficulties that you will only encounter as an entrepreneur. Truly, you must fight to protect your goal and reach it. What successful entrepreneurs believe: Every person has beliefs in life that he always believes in and acts upon. Entrepreneurs are different, of course, but I worked for months to see some of the common characteristics or common beliefs of entrepreneurs. They are many characteristics, but I will focus on only three of the most important of these characteristics. 1- The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Every successful and distinguished self-made entrepreneur sees that every journey begins with a step he takes towards his goal. He does not belittle the importance of any step, and believes in gradualism and not rushing. He is a first-class initiator and a leader who people follow, not a “shiny” of course. Look at the beginning of every large company or every successful project. They all started with simple steps and almost non-existent resources, and now they have reached where they are.

2- A problem is an idea for a profitable project. This is how successful entrepreneurs think. They see problems as opportunities to seize and great ideas for projects that bring profits. They think in a non-stereotypical and unconventional way. He is not afraid of problems because God has given him a mind with which to think and the ability to overcome these problems and turn them into projects on the ground. 3- Every success begins with failure. The British Winston Churchill says that success is “the transition from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.” This is true success, success full of difficulties and problems. Failure is the spark of success, it is the starting engine that will turn you into a successful and distinguished self-made entrepreneur. You must fail in order to succeed, as failure is a common characteristic of most entrepreneurs or a large group of them.

Can I succeed in the Arab region?

One of the most common arguments that individuals in the Arab world resort to is that the Arab world is neither a place for success nor a suitable environment. It is static and does not develop, and that success is not possible within it. In reality, all of these are just empty myths that have no basis in truth. We must take positive steps, take the initiative, and be the pioneers of change. How many companies have done well on Arab lands and turned into large and distinguished companies, like Hassoub, for example, which is a purely Arab company, we will talk about in the following lines. Hassoub, a success story on Arab soil, Hassoub Company, which is based in the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom. Its founder is Abdul Muhaimin Al-Agha, along with a creative and distinguished team. Hassoub is always working to launch projects that aim to develop the Arab web, fill the gaps in various fields, and help the Arab user by providing solutions to the problems he constantly faces. It has launched many projects for various purposes, the most famous of which are Khamsat, Mustaql, Hassoub Ads, and Asnad.

Hassoub Ads is a purely Arab advertising platform through which Hassoub was able to outperform Google in the Arab world. This is a very exciting and wonderful thing and indicates that there is great hope. This advertising network has many features and benefits that interest you as a project owner or entrepreneur. Hsoub launched multiple projects, such as the Mustaqil platform, which is a platform for freelancers, through which it works to spread the culture of self-employment and open new earning fields for Arabs. As well as the Khamsat platform for mini-businesses that do not exceed $5, they have received great demand. Also, let us not forget the Hassoub I/O technical community, the Asnad platform for selling digital products, and other projects that have made Hassoub one of the strongest companies working on developing the Arab web.

The matter does not depend on calculation alone, as there are many companies that have proven their success on the Arab web and in the Arab region, such as Bayanat Company, the leader in designing and developing websites in the Arab world and others, as well as emerging projects that are working to radically change the Arab world, and we will see that soon. Entrepreneurship always paves the way for creative people and those with strong minds and minds. In order to become a successful self-made person, you need a mind with which to think and through which you can overcome the challenges and problems that you face in your entrepreneurial career.
