Almost five years ago, I took a leap of faith and started Mypursuitpath.com, a career coaching service in the UAE dedicated to helping professionals achieve their career goals. What began as a simple idea has grown into a thriving business that has empowered countless individuals to enhance their resumes, optimize their LinkedIn profiles, ace their job interviews, and, most importantly, find fulfilling careers.
The Beginning of MyPursuitPath.com: Finding Purpose in Helping Others
The idea for Mypursuitpath.com came from a passion for helping people unlock their potential. I noticed a gap in the market for personalized career coaching services in the UAE. Many professionals were struggling to showcase their skills and experiences effectively, and they needed guidance on how to navigate the competitive job market. I wanted to make a difference, so I decided to offer comprehensive services that would help individuals not only find jobs but also thrive in their chosen careers.
Starting a business from scratch was not easy. There were countless late nights, moments of self-doubt, and challenges that tested my resolve. But with each success story and every client who landed their dream job, I felt a renewed sense of purpose and motivation. The positive feedback and testimonials from my clients were the fuel that kept me going, and I realized that helping others achieve their dreams was my true calling.
Venturing into Floralsbyzoya.me: Expanding My Entrepreneurial Horizons
With Mypursuitpath.com flourishing, I found myself drawn to another passion of mine—fashion and fragrance. I’ve always been fascinated by the world of style and the power of scents to evoke emotions and memories. I saw an opportunity to bring my unique vision to life and create something beautiful that would resonate with people. And so, Floralsbyzoya.me was born.
Floralsbyzoya.me is more than just a business; it’s an expression of my creativity and love for fashion. I wanted to create a collection that offered more than just products but also an experience. Our range includes exquisite perfumes, elegant ladies’ footwear, stylish bags, and a variety of accessories. What makes Floralsbyzoya.me special is the mix-and-match option, allowing customers to curate their own personalized gift sets, making each purchase a unique and memorable experience.
The Entrepreneurial Spirit: A Journey of Passion, Perseverance, and Purpose
Starting two businesses in different industries may seem daunting, but for me, it was a natural progression of my entrepreneurial spirit. Being an entrepreneur is about more than just making money; it’s about following your passions, taking risks, and believing in your vision. It’s about waking up every day with a sense of purpose and knowing that what you’re doing makes a difference.
Here are some key lessons I’ve learned on my entrepreneurial journey:
1. Follow Your Passion: Passion is the driving force behind every successful entrepreneur. It’s what keeps you going when times are tough and what motivates you to push beyond your limits. Find what you love, and let it be the foundation of your business.

2. Embrace Challenges: Challenges are a part of the entrepreneurial journey. Instead of fearing them, embrace them as opportunities to learn and grow. Every setback is a stepping stone to success, and each challenge you overcome makes you stronger and more resilient.
3. Stay True to Your Vision: It’s easy to get lost in the noise and distractions of the business world. Stay true to your vision and what you stand for. Remember why you started and keep your goals in sight. Your vision is your guiding light, and it will lead you to success.
4. Be Open to New Opportunities: Entrepreneurship is about innovation and adaptability. Be open to new ideas and opportunities that come your way. Sometimes, the best business decisions are the ones you least expect. Keep an open mind and be willing to pivot when necessary.
5. Build a Support Network: Surround yourself with people who believe in you and your vision. A strong support network of mentors, peers, and friends can provide valuable advice, encouragement, and motivation when you need it most.
Looking Ahead: The Future of MyPursuitPath.com and Floralsbyzoya.me
As I look back on the past five years, I am incredibly grateful for the journey and excited for what the future holds. Both Mypursuitpath.com and Floralsbyzoya.me are growing, and I am constantly exploring new ways to innovate and expand. My goal is to continue helping people find their career paths while also bringing joy and beauty into their lives through fashion and fragrance.
To all aspiring entrepreneurs out there, I want to say this: don’t be afraid to dream big. Take risks, believe in yourself, and never give up on your vision. The road to success is not always easy, but it is incredibly rewarding. Embrace the entrepreneurial spirit, and you’ll discover that anything is possible.
Thank you for being a part of my journey. Here’s to many more years of growth, creativity, and success!
