Reem Kharbat, The Entrepreneur Accelerator

Published on: 1st July, 2021

Today’s episode takes us to Riyadh Saudi Arabia where we meet Reem Kharbat. Reem wears many hats at any given time including: a CPA holder, a Serial Entrepreneur currently running an entrepreneur accelerator program, a Real Estate mogul, a Personal Brand & Business Coach, and a Podcaster like myself. 

Reem grew up in a small town in Jordan, where at a very early age she knew her personality was an inquisitive mind & discovering new things. In spite of growing up in a culture that did not allow for girls to travel on their own to anywhere, Reem managed to leave home, travel to America for her CPA, and from there she has been to 19 different countries, in different capacities including being a CFO,  sitting on a board of directors, and a consultant helping other investors and millionaires make decisions and do feasibility studies to build and invest their business in Saudi Arabia & other countries.  

Reem's passion is to help any person who really has the passion and the will to take their expertise and turn it into a business. She says that if you have something that you really believe in and you want to share with the world, you can do that without being limited to a geographical area or a zone.

Her clients are attracted to her because she not only has the knowledge, but also her values and work ethic, coupled with honesty and genuine care to turn her client’s business or product into an excellent product that truly brings results to the client. 

Reem’s work mantra is excellence and creativity in everything she does. In this virtual world, she ensures she builds a human connection and always follows up with her client even after projects are completed.

 

How does she overcome the blocks of moving an idea to doing an actual project?

  • Write down all the ideas you have as soon as you get them, there’s power in that creative process of writing things down. 
  • By writing down your idea, you’re mapping it out. When you see this in front of you daily, it has a compounding effect. Without realizing you'll start working on it slowly and will turn your idea into something tangible. 
  • Do the market research for your product. A hungry audience, people who really need this thing to be sold for them, but at the same time, they are capable of paying.
  • Invest in your collaborators, not just a cup of coffee, actually spend money on them, or offer even equity, so that they are fully immersed and focused on the project. Don’t pay them in coffee. 
  • As a leader, don’t spread yourself too thin. Collaborate with other people who have the skills you lack and focus on your growth strategy, building a team, and becoming a great leader.
