That was how he started his journey.

His Career:

Following the completion of 5th grade at a primary private school that offered then an acceptable level of education, his uncle asked him to work for Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al Nassar, a then prominent businessman in Riyadh. His age was then only 14. He consented to his uncle's wish and joined work as a shop assistant. As soon as, he started his work he faced a difficult situation arising from the long and continuous nature of work. He also had to do additional overwork other than his main duties in fetching water from a far away well to his employer's house. He also faced a growing challenge from a young active and very clever work mate and competitor who turned every stone to proof that he was more far better than he was. Though he felt exhausted, and frustrated, when he was back at this uncle's home he was very occupied with the idea of resigning work. It did not take him long to drop the idea off his head. He used to tell himself that why the should back down and then went back and resume this work.

In this manner, he continued for three long years without knowing his exact salary. Despite all these obstacles during that stage in his career he managed to develop a talent for business. He also worked hard on the basics of Business Accounts. He also managed to gain from his work mate his seriousness hardworking nature, patience and persistence. Although he merited a lot from this work, the negative and hard work environment made it difficult for him to continue so he had to quit. Immediately his cousin Abdullah Al Jeraisy invited him to join him in a new small investment. He agreed to join, however, certain circumstances forced him to give up the idea. On knowing that he was no more on

Amid a whir pool of conflicts, challenges hardships and hazards he managed to maintain the name and image of Riyadh House as a sheer story of business success.

Thanks to God, he continued his trip and surmounted all the delays and failures steadily until his efforts started to give results and to achieve success. He still remembers with gratitude his friends and the loyal persons who stood by his side during his earlier beginnings, and he still highly appreciates that friendship. He considers it as more valuable to him than all the wealth of the world. He firmly believes that a world without loyal friends is a void and meaningless world.
