Hassan shares how a childhood engagement and a failed visa application led him to Australia, his unexpected start in a 7-Eleven that pushed him towards his true calling, and the pivotal moment when a corrupted hard drive catalysed his entrepreneurial journey.
He also talks about the power of persistence in business success, the importance of having a supportive partner when pursuing entrepreneurial dreams, and how networking groups like BNI can be game-changers for small business owners.
