RIYADH: It is said that one has to take a step back to make a giant leap. Naif Al-Mohammad just proved it right. He resigned from a government job to get into the mobile phone business, and is more than happy about his decision.
“Four days after opening the mobile sales and maintenance shop, my profit was more than my monthly salary. This encouraged me to spend most of my time in the business, in the morning and in the evening, as I had office work so that I could expand the activity,” said the 24-year-old entrepreneur.
Naif got support needed from the Saudi Credit and Savings Bank, which helps citizens in starting enterprises in the communications sector.
After resigning from a government job where he had worked for two-and-a-half years, Naif started looking for a suitable shop and chose one on offer from a foreigner with whom he had been dealing with. "He advised me to take his shop and take advantage of its popularity.”
