Disha Pai’s Post

Restarting from scratch in your 30s sounds romantic. Until you’re in it. When I left Dubai for the UK, I went from a corporate high-flying life… To sitting in a small town, building Ruya Recruitment from scratch. The first six months were tough. No network. No safety net. Plenty of doubt. The turning point came in month seven. We got our first signed contract and first invoice. That proved the model worked. Here’s what I learned in that period: ✓ Consistency compounds. Showing up daily created momentum. ✓ Action creates confidence. Every call and placement chipped away at doubt. ✓ Readiness is built, not waited for. You don’t start because you’re ready. You become ready by starting. If you’re restarting, whether it’s business, career, or life, don’t wait for perfect timing. Start. Stay consistent. Let progress build from there. Because confidence doesn’t come first. It comes from doing the work. — Hi, I'm Disha Pai! 👋 Follow me for daily insights from my journey in executive recruitment. Looking to hire top talent in Saudi?
