    In this video, I share why I'm leaving Dubai after two transformative years of running and scaling my AI businesses here. I also cover what's next for me and my AI Automation Agency (AAA) as we move to a new country to expand and deepen our roots.

    1. The speaker is leaving Dubai after two years and is heading back to New Zealand for the foreseeable future.
    2. They achieved their goals in Dubai, growing personally and professionally, and made a small circle of business-oriented friends.
    3. Many of their friends and peers are also leaving Dubai, seeking places with more community and nature.
    4. The speaker mentions challenges in Dubai, including business limitations and negative associations with being a "Dubai entrepreneur."
    5. A key reason for leaving is to escape the stigma attached to Dubai, which affects their personal brand and business identity.
    6. They plan to shift focus to building a more formal company with an office and employees, allowing for future growth and a potential sale.
    7. The move to New Zealand is seen as a strategic decision, offering more business opportunities, local reputation-building, and employee contracts.
    8. The speaker emphasizes the importance of finding a "unique edge" in business, which they believe they can achieve better in New Zealand.
    9. They have plans to scale their AI-focused business, including an education arm, and are excited about upcoming projects.
    10. Despite leaving Dubai, they are grateful for the opportunities and growth they experienced while living there.

    My advice to everyone is this : if you want to grow big this year especially in your finances. Be willing to make investments. Saving is great but investing puts you on a pedestal where you wouldnt have to worry about savings as you do now. With Samantha Jack, my portolio is doing really great and im proud of the decisions i made last year.

    • @MarthaJackson-x7g

    While I understand the move based on your personal preferences (and best of luck with it!), it's kinda weird hearing you talk about this "stigma" associated with Dubai. I'm watching content from other entrepreneurs who are based there and never heard any of them mention that they would lose business because they were based there... If anything, Dubai is associated with business mindset and plenty of others have thriving businesses there...

Well done on the move back home. I love NZ also, just a tad far away. It reminded me of a taller version of Ireland when I was there

    YES!!!! I love your content. And I LOVE that you're leaving Dubai's glitterati. Dubai is super surface and built on some serious BS. You are much more interesting and have such a lot to offer the world. So go for it. Looking forward to your next vid with your updates! Wishing you all the best. 🙏🍀
