L'O A: How has UAE helped you in your career?

AAH: In this vast world, there is only one place that truly feels like home to me—the UAE. My love and loyalty for this incredible country are unparalleled, and without the privilege of residing here, my life would have been an entirely different journey.

Remarkably, the UAE's leaders and its people consistently strive to be at the forefront of excellence in everything they do. I wholeheartedly share this vision, aspiring to be the best in my chosen field by embracing innovative thinking and offering alternative solutions to any challenges that come my way.

Arriving here with nothing, I was blessed with the opportunity to work diligently, employing both hard work and smart strategies while remaining tirelessly dedicated to building my career. Today, I am proud to say that I am the owner of four flourishing businesses—all made possible by the UAE and the strong foundation it provides for ambitious individuals eager to contribute to its remarkable success story.

L’O A: Who inspired you the most in your life?

AAH: My inspiration stems from a profound belief that I can achieve anything I set my mind to. I remain steadfast in my pursuit of success, disregarding the naysayers and allowing only the voice within me to guide my path. This unwavering determination can be traced back to my upbringing and the challenges I faced when I was forced to leave my home country twelve years ago due to the devastations of war, never to return again.

Life, in my perspective, is too fleeting to cling onto anything without making a lasting impact. It is crucial to leave our mark on this world, to create a purposeful existence that resonates beyond our own existence.

While I acknowledge that I have not accomplished everything I aspire to just yet, I approach each day with the fervor of a fresh start. For me, the ultimate measure of achievement would lie in inspiring as many individuals as possible to believe in their own limitless potential.

In this pursuit, I wholeheartedly embrace the following quote and invite everyone to reflect upon and embrace its message:

"Mind is everything. What you think, you become."

Let us all unlock the power within us and realize the boundless possibilities that await.

L'O A: What will be your message for budding entrepreneurs in the UAE

AAH: When venturing down the road less traveled, it is essential to acknowledge that the journey will be arduous. It may feel as though no one believes in you, but remember that self-belief is the cornerstone of your success. Remind yourself, as often as needed, why you embarked on this path in the first place.

Embrace every obstacle that comes your way and refuse to back down. Accept that adversity is inevitable, but let it fuel your determination rather than deter you. By embracing the challenges, you will discover an unwavering strength within yourself that will guide you to triumph.

L’O A: What's next for Asem Al Helwani?

AAH: In my world, there is always an air of anticipation, consistently pondering the question of "what's next?" Throughout my journey, I have embarked on four different businesses in as many years, making decisions swiftly and instinctively. For me, passion is paramount, serving as the guiding force behind my choices. While the future may remain unknown, one thing is certain: as long as I possess the willpower and determination, there will be no limitations to what I can achieve. So, brace yourself for an ever-evolving path, as new and exciting ventures are destined to come forth.
