But how he got Dubai's first Tesla Cyber Truck will shock you!
Alaa Mohra has one of the most incredible stories that the Dubai entrepreneurial scene has witnessed.
He grew up in Gaza, Palestine in a warzone where he lived with 10 siblings in a 1 bedroom apartment. And he had every reason to turn out unsuccessful but he defied all the odds.
When he was 18 he decided its time to leave Gaza and learn from the outside world. And this is when he came to Dubai. In fact, he arrived with no money and no connections. But what he did next is mind-blowing.
He kept doing small side hustles until he started an ecommerce brand in Dubai in 2010 and turned it into an 8 figure business that he sold. He then started Uncle Fluffy franchise which turned into a multinational Japanese cheesecake sensation and one of the most celebrated brands with dozens of franchises in more than 10 countries.
In addition, he created Alaa Mohra properties which now does half a billion in real estate sales per year and he teaches people how to invest in off-plan properties in Dubai.
This post is not just about Alaa's story. It's about why hyper successful entrepreneurs win and the reason is clear. Its because they have the talent of investing as a second nature habit and not just a skill.
I have known Alaa for almost a decade now and 5 years ago he said to me "Mena, have you seen the cyber truck from Tesla? I just saw an add and the deposit for the car was only $500 so i said why not and paid it". At the time, i thought that was a silly decision. But it turned out to be an exceptional chess move. A social media move.
He just recently received an email from Tesla saying that he may be one of the first people in Dubai to receive it. And the other day, we drove it together. He made his first video with the car and it immediately went viral on his social media which boosted all his account and businesses massively.
So what can we learn from this small but powerful move?
Successful entrepreneurs and CEOs have one thing in common. They have the skill of investing as a second nature habit rather than just another skill.
-When they pick up the phone they make sure its a good investment of time. -When they go to the gym they make sure its a good investment of time.
-When they plan to take any actions they make sure its a good investment of time.
So how can we all implement this amazing way of investing our time and resources like Alaa?
First, we need to accept that life is a strategy game. And every decision we take is an investment of time, resources and energy. Therefore, if you think before you take an action and try to visualize how it will impact your life in the long-run. You will learn to make investing a second nature habit.
