Get the first client for your own consulting business in 16 weeks.

You may already do the work a business would pay for.

You might work in a government entity or a private company here in the UAE. You see external providers brought in to do work you understand, sometimes for a project fee higher than your monthly salary. You start wondering what it would take to offer that work through your own business.

Or you have spent years getting good at something and want to build a business around it. You know the work, but you have not yet worked out how to package it, find clients and deliver it on your own.

The UAE buys differently. Companies here rarely pay a new person for advice. They pay for more clients. Cold lists, cold calls and mass messages do not work well here, and each industry is small. So you get clients in three ways:

• Your own content brings companies to you.
• A chat on Instagram turns their comments into conversations.
• You message people you know and your Top 100 one by one. Your Top 100 are the 100 companies you most want to win. You follow them and comment on their posts before you message them.

So your first offer gets companies more clients. To the company, it looks like a marketing service. They understand it, and they buy it. To you, it is the door into your consulting. You deliver it under your own name, in the industry you know. When the client trusts you, you sell them what they need next.

The first offer is The 30/90:

• one recording session for the client
• 90 short videos, with AI for the scripts and the edit
• a chat that turns comments and messages into booked appointments on WhatsApp
• a target of at least 30 qualified enquiries in 90 days

A year ago, this work needed a writer, an editor, a designer and a person to answer every message. Now AI does most of it, and I give you the full system, step by step. You run The 30/90 on your own brand first, so you know it well enough to sell it. More first offers (a website, a brand kit, a WhatsApp reply system) open as each one is proven.

Abdullah turned his experience in content creation into a marketing business for real-estate companies. He sold this offer.

In a service like this, AI helps turn a client’s brief into content. You bring the judgement, review the work and stay responsible for what the client receives.

Ahmed turned his experience in HR into Tabbio, an AI career app.

tabbio.com AI career app

Tabbio helps companies find the right people through its app for job seekers. When you know what your clients keep asking for, you can build software that sells to many of them.

In every model, the business needs enough left after delivery to make the work worthwhile. Your experience might be in marketing, HR, reporting or operations. What matters is that you know one industry well enough to help its companies win clients.

The UAE has already chosen the direction. We will build something useful inside it.

The country is moving from learning about AI to putting it inside the way government and businesses work.

For your business, the opportunity starts with companies inside that change. They now compete on how fast they show up, reply and follow up. A company that posts nothing and replies late loses clients to a company that does both well. We look for an industry you understand and companies that have a reason to pay you to fix that.

The practical question is where you can contribute. Which industry do you understand, and how could you help its companies win more clients?

The UAE has created opportunities to learn, meet founders, find mentors and connect with investors. To use them well, you need to show what you are building, who pays for it and what happened when you put it in front of them.

Adham is a source of pride to his family, friends, clients, and country.

We start with the part you can act on now: an industry you understand, companies you can reach and a first offer you can put in front of them.

I have mentored through Create Apps and Ignyte, and spoken at Ignyte. Seyola is independent. Those roles do not imply government endorsement, and admission does not include official access or funding.

We start with a client, then work towards a business you can keep running.

The 16 weeks have four phases. Each phase ends at a gate: a result you can see. When you reach it, you move on.

1. Weeks 0–2 · Set up

   We set up your system and send your first messages.

   We choose your industry and your first offer. We fill in your templates with you, and you record your own first videos. We check it all on your launch call.

   The gate Your offer page is live and your Top 100 is listed. Your first videos are posted, and the chat works. On the launch call, you send your first 10 personal messages to people you know.

   Tap for sound

2. Weeks 3–8 · First client

   We work towards your first client who pays.

   You post your own videos and answer every comment and message. You talk to people you know and your Top 100. You bring me every price, objection and proposal before you send it. If the first sale has not happened by week 8, we look at your numbers and fix the step that stops it.

   The gate One client pays.
3. Weeks 9–12 · Deliver

   You deliver the work under your own name.

   You run the 30-day start for your first client: the recording day, the edit and the chat, with a guide for each step.

   The gate The videos are live, enquiries arrive on WhatsApp, and the client gets a weekly report.
4. Weeks 13–16 · Grow

   We grow the first client and win the next ones.

   You offer client 1 the full 90 days, the add-on or the monthly plan. You offer your consulting where the client needs it. You send proposals to the next companies.

   The gate Client 1 has your next offer. Proposals are with clients 2 and 3.

I expect Adham to be one of the most brilliant names in the Gulf and internationally in the coming years.

Here is how people describe working with me.

The people below came with different experience, businesses and starting points. They describe what changed through working with me. You can watch their videos, read their accounts and follow the profile links to see who they are.

Understanding how to use AI.

LinkedIn

Getting a clearer direction.

LinkedIn

These accounts tell you about the experience of working with me. Read them, look at the people behind them and decide whether that is the kind of relationship you want.

You get everything you need to sell, deliver and grow.

When you join, you start with a proven offer, a system set up with you, the scripts, the templates and the calls. Each piece removes one thing that stops experts from getting their first client.

“I feel confident enough to position myself as an expert, not a freelancer.”

This is how we work on it together.

You do the work between our conversations. You talk to companies, post, deliver and try what we discussed. When you need my input, you bring me the work and the decision you are trying to make.

1. Show me what you are working on.

   Send the draft, the proposal or the client’s message on WhatsApp. Tell me what you have tried and where you are unsure. I can give you better feedback when I can see the work itself.

2. We work through the decision.

   I may reply in the chat, record a walkthrough or take it to your pod call. Private one-to-one calls are available as a paid extra.

3. Put it into practice and tell me what happened.

   You make the change and take it back to the client. Bring me their response, so our next conversation starts with what happened.

You do not have to explain your business from the beginning every time. Over the 16 weeks, I get to know the work, the decisions we have made and what you are trying to achieve.

“We arranged my day and my plan... Enthusiasm returned.”

I want some of these relationships to continue for years.

Sixteen weeks give us time to see how we work together. I see how you act on advice, respond to clients and handle setbacks. You see how I think and whether my involvement helps you build the business you want.

I also want to understand the business beyond its first sale. Can you deliver well, win more clients and keep enough of the revenue to make it worth continuing? I want to see that in the work we do together.

You build a business you continue to own and run.

The work is directed towards an offer clients buy and a business you can operate. You can continue on your own after week 18.

We decide to keep building together.

If the business and our working relationship justify it, we discuss a longer-term partnership, which could include my investment or an advisory role.

If you want my support to continue without a partnership, we can agree a monthly plan around what the business needs next.

Your ticket pays for 16 weeks of work with me and 2 weeks of support. You keep your equity when you join. Any later partnership or investment is optional, is not included in the ticket and would have its own agreement.

Work through the numbers for your business.

One AED 45,000 client tells you what a client paid. You also need to know what it cost to deliver and how much of your time it took. Use the calculator below to explore the business you have in mind.

Start with estimates. Then replace them with your real Friday numbers as you talk to companies and deliver the work. That is how we find out whether the price, the workload and the costs add up to a business you want to keep running.

Your ticket is the start of our work together.

This is for you if you know one industry well, already use AI to some degree and want to build a business serving companies in the UAE. You need about 10 hours each week. You need to be willing to talk to companies and post your own content, and to act on feedback.

Tell me what you want to build.

Message me on WhatsApp with your experience, the industry you know and what you have tried so far. We will look at what you want to achieve, the time you can give it and whether working together makes sense.

We begin with your build form and a welcome call with your pod. Then we set up your system and check it on your launch call.

What you get: everything in section 05: your system set up with you, your own 30/90, The 30/90 ready to sell, the portal, the welcome call, the launch call, your weekly pod and numbers calls, WhatsApp with me and Adham AI.

What you do: you post your own content, talk to companies, run the sales calls and deliver the work.

Not included: messages sent for you, delivery by me, a large custom build, private one-to-one calls, your trade licence or freelance permit, and the monthly cost of your tools.

I want to work with people who ask when they are unsure, take advice seriously and put it into practice. You should also tell me when something is not working, so we can address it.

Here is what you may want to know before joining.
