The struggles that come with moving a business to Dubai

The story was I went to Dubai on holiday for 3 days, moved back, 4 weeks later moved out to Dubai and set the business up over there. Quite knee-jerk reaction just to go, you know what, I'm going to do this. I was doing it anyway, but I thought, right, let's go and try it in a different country. But the hardship started probably a couple of months after getting into Dubai. The first bit was really kind of running out of cash, probably around 3 months in. 2022 in executive search, which is the main stuff that I'd always focused on, It was really, really hard to get traction, especially in a new business. And I remember going against a pitch for a CRO role for a publicly traded company. I was one person against a 2,500-person company and fair to say I didn't win.
