Success Stories
Success Story 1: Maria's Journey to Entrepreneurial Success
Maria, a young woman from a BAME background, had always dreamed of starting her own business but didn't know where to begin. She lacked access to resources and mentorship opportunities until she discovered NOBEEL. Through NOBEEL's mentorship program, Maria was paired with an experienced entrepreneur who guided her through the process of launching her business—a sustainable fashion brand that celebrates cultural diversity.
With the support of her mentor and NOBEEL's resources, Maria learned crucial business skills, developed a solid business plan, and secured funding to kickstart her venture. NOBEEL also provided networking opportunities that helped Maria connect with suppliers, collaborators, and potential customers. Within a year of joining NOBEEL, Maria's fashion brand gained traction, receiving recognition for its unique designs and commitment to sustainability.

Success Story 2: RAY’S STORY
Ray, a driven professional from a BAME background, found himself climbing the corporate ladder but yearned for more fulfillment and autonomy in his career. Despite his success in his corporate job, Ray harbored a passion for entrepreneurship and dreamed of starting his own business. However, he faced challenges balancing his full-time job with his entrepreneurial aspirations.
Determined to pursue his passion, Ray sought support from NOBEEL, a community dedicated to empowering individuals from diverse backgrounds. Through NOBEEL's mentorship program, Ray received guidance on time management, business planning, and navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship while maintaining his corporate career.
With the support and encouragement of his mentor and the NOBEEL community, Ray took the leap and launched his own side hustle—a digital marketing agency specializing in helping small businesses amplify their online presence. Despite the demands of his corporate job, Ray dedicated evenings and weekends to growing his agency, leveraging his expertise and passion for marketing to attract clients and deliver results.
As Ray's side hustle gained momentum, he found himself excelling in his corporate role as well. The skills and entrepreneurial mindset he developed through NOBEEL's mentorship program translated into tangible results in his job performance, earning him recognition and promotions within his company.
Today, Ray successfully balances his thriving side hustle with his corporate career, finding fulfillment and satisfaction in both pursuits.
