Bilal’s advice to other aspiring investors or entrepreneurs is to never hold yourself back from pursuing your dreams. He says, to have a never give up spirit is very important in the world of entrepreneurs as situations might take a toll on us. But we should always keep in mind why we have started in the first place. A lot of people quit as they do not have the capability to take risks and thus miss out on realising their full potentials.
