"Nothing in Life is Impossible"- Nusaiba, Entrepreneur
Nusaiba, Palestinian entrepreneur & small business owner
"Through my business, I want to become an inspiring woman for the youth and make them believe that they can also become an inspiration. Also, to build a well-known and trustworthy business. That when it is mentioned people immediately say yes, she's doing great work. And of course, I want to be financially independent and be fully responsible for myself.
It’s important for women entrepreneurs to prove to themselves first that they can do what others can and even more. This is very important because some people underestimate what women are capable of.
To other female entrepreneurs; if you want anything in life you need to strive to achieve it. I strongly believe that if you work on yourself and on what you want, you will be able to accomplish it. There is nothing in life that is impossible." - Nusaiba, Palestinian female entrepreneur & business owner.
What is the top skill of a successful entrepreneur?
Nusaiba: Darren Hardy, a success mentor once said “small, seemingly insignificant steps completed consistently over time will create a radical difference”. I believe the top skills that entrepreneurs need are consistency, patience and persistence. Entrepreneurship requires lots of tolerance and hard work to achieve goals.
What type of business would you love to start?
Nusaiba: My business is an online training academy for university students and graduates to improve their skills for employment.
What/who is your favorite start-up or entrepreneur?
Nusaiba: I’m a fan of the Impact Theory founded by Tom Bilyeu. Tom created the Impact Theory to help people develop the skills they need to improve themselves. Through his content and speeches he inspires people all over the world to unleash their potential and strive for greatness.
I have two favorite international entrepreneurs that I follow constantly; Darren Hardy and Tom Bilyeu. Tom is also the founder of the brand ‘Quest Nutrition’ that is worth billions of dollars (and the co-founder and host of The Impact Theory).
What are your future goals?
Nusaiba: 1. To become an influential and inspiring person in the lives of others, in the Arab world and internationally. I hope to make a positive change in people’s lives that is reflected in their achievements.
2. To spread the culture of training via the internet and investing in human resources.
3. To contribute to the process of positive change and self-development for all who wish to do so.
4. To speak on TED Talks on an Arab and international level.
5. To establish an online training academy that would give me financial freedom.

What do you say to other entrepreneurs who are afraid of starting their own business?
Nusaiba: I would tell them that fear, uncertainty and self-doubt are feelings that all entrepreneurs felt when they started their businesses. Don’t think that Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, or even Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, didn’t feel the same feelings at some point. Go back to their biographies and read them, you’ll find they’re normal people just like you and me, but they did not let their fear defeat them. And they had the determination, perseverance and belief that they would achieve their dreams someday.
Also, there is no better time than the present to start a personal business, because of the availability of all kinds of resources that can help you to start properly. The Internet itself is a golden opportunity, through which you can learn anything you need to start and continue your business. You can learn from great trainers and do it at a time that is best for you.
I strongly believe in this quote by Darren Hardy:
"You were called here for a reason to fulfill a special purpose. A mission. To contribute something unique. Something that wouldn’t have existed without you. It’s your Hero’s Journey."
