OD: There’s a lot to do in a day in Dubai and it’s a beautiful place so here’s my top five recommendations; ride a jet ski, go on a desert safari, visit the Miracle Garden, take a helicopter tour and visit the Dubai Aquarium.
OD: Dubai has really inspired my work ethic and creativity in many ways. There’s something about Dubai, it’s a city with visitors from all over the world, every single day! I get to meet different clients; amazing people, VIPs, Celebrities, etc. Here in Dubai, everything is well put together, including the people. Things are very organised here, so it really inspires you to do better in terms of your branding, professionalism and customer service.
OD: Urla Dubai.
OD: Just keep your priorities straight! Don’t get too distracted by the fast life and flashy things. You can have fun but don’t do it too much. Stay focused.
OD: Khalas is my favourite Arabic slang. It means ‘enough’, ‘finished’, ‘done’ or ‘stop’!
OD: I have so many favorite memories haha! I would say one of my favorite memories is working with Shushu Stephens (@shushu_stephens). She’s such an amazing friend/client.
OD: I’ve learned to be more open minded.
OD: Most of my clients here prefer home services, so in future, I would like to invest more into that and further establish the Oneal Daniels brand. For now, I work with my PA and can only do a limited number of clients in a day, so in future I would have a big team, multiple locations, faster & better services and host masterclassess.
