The Entrepreneur; Hassan Mohamed
I wasn't very good at studying theoretical subjects at university but i was very, very good at practical subjects
When i graduated i worked at several different places, car companies and so forth but ultimately i came to the conclusion that I don't want to be an employee because ultimately after a short while I won't learn anything new
However here everyday you have to study and learn new things so you can manufacture and create new things, its essential. We all have many different roles here, accordingly we develop learning skills and research skills to find out the latest in technology and manufacturing thats why I moved into entrepreneurship
The space here was initially used by my dad as a warehouse, I told him I wanted to use it so he said use it, no problem i don't mind but you need to be responsible for it
Then someone with special needs passed by us and said he wanted an electric wheelchair, one of the things he said while we we're talking is that he wants it to go up the stairs, he said it while joking but i told him ok, we'll do it.
The initial chair we made, we had so many different problems we faced, it was a very difficult process. We made it but couldn't remake it as the chair was too expensive to remake and needed facilities more advanced than the facilities we had. So we made another chair, the one we sell now, that is suitable in terms of price and goes up steps and stairs but at the same time isn't as complicated as the first chair we made
Then we made another chair that allows disabled people to stand up. We also created others types of chairs that move up the stairs.
Manufacturing is very difficult, especially since we aren't a big establishment, we are a small team that despite our limited facilities are able to produce world class products
From nothing we were able to create something, we use almost everything in the environment around us in order to create our products
Work hard to succeed and don't worry about the results, god will make sure everything ultimately turns out well
