Entrepreneurial Mindset: Are You Prepared for Entrepreneurship?
I really was … amazed by the pragmatic advice … that not only answered my question but gave me the confidence that we could do it.
It was eye-opening to hear about the struggle many people face when thinking about jumping from a stable job to entrepreneurship. One big takeaway for me was the importance of having a solid financial runway before taking that leap. Knowing your personal and business expenses can really help ease the fear of the unknown.
Huge shout-out to Feras Alhlou with Start Up With Feras … such a breath of fresh air and exactly what I needed as I enter the next stage of my career.
As Feras has often highlighted in his insightful videos, entrepreneurship demands more commitment than a side hustle. I benefited immensely from the wealth of free resources Feras offered on YouTube, which directly addressed the ongoing challenges I encountered. His extensive experience in this field is evident. For anyone initiating a service-oriented business{....}, Feras is an indispensable resource for advice on business models, sales, marketing, and related areas.
Feras gave me insightful suggestions and expertise. His friendly demeanor and wealth of knowledge made the discussion engaging and impactful. I'm excited to start implementing his advice this week and delve deeper into his valuable insights.
I can listen to Feras Alhlou for hours. He has so much insight and advice around leading and scaling a company from his successful experiences.
As a lawyer privileged to work with Feras on several of his successful start-ups, I not only understand his extraordinary competence and know-how but also his enduring interest in giving back.

I started a research and strategy consulting practice a few years ago and didn't know what I didn't know. After just one video and one conversation with Feras, I realized the missing pieces -- thinking about a sales funnel and using a CRM. This understanding is shifting my roll-out of new services and, well, just how I nurture relationships. Thanks Feras!
How can one fit tremendous talent, determination and uncompromising positive leadership in one single picture? Look no further.
I was recently laid off from my corporate job and have been contemplating various business ideas, including consulting and service-based ventures. My main challenge is choosing a path, understanding how to validate each idea, and figuring out how long to test it for feasibility. After taking the free course and meeting with Feras—who was approachable, knowledgeable, and friendly—he provided valuable, candid advice on my current thinking based on his work with hundreds of aspiring entrepreneurs, and shared many free resources from his website. Working with Feras is a wise choice for anyone looking to start, refine, or scale a consulting or service-based business.
Most entrepreneurs ride high on their own success and very few dream of helping others succeed. Kudos to you Feras Alhlou! Your sincerity rings so true and is heartwarming. More power to you!
