In this episode, I dive into Dubai’s dynamic real estate market and explore why two people, given the same opportunity, can have completely different outcomes.

In this episode, I reflect on the past two weeks as I wrap up 2024 and set intentions for 2025. I share some key lessons I've learned recently, particularly about embracing the journey and walking your own path. Often, I’ve heard people say that the car, the house, or even the success they worked for wasn’t worth it—leading me to question my own climb and my direction.

But a new perspective has brought me clarity: only after reaching the top of the mountain can I decide if the climb was worth it or if I’m on the right one. This mindset has helped me feel at peace with the journey, trust my steps, and take advice from others with a pinch of salt. If you’ve ever doubted your path or felt overwhelmed by the climb, this episode will resonate with you.
