Nidal Rasheed, a successful entrepreneur, and property expert, who has aided hundreds of families to get on and climb up the property ladder, talks about his company’s policy of hiring new talent as well as share an insight into what he would like to do differently if he was given a do-over.

Nidal Rasheed runs a successful company called ‘Silvertail Property Group’ that helps people buy and/or build new properties. In addition to that ‘Silvertail’ is a property investment company that mainly focuses on creating long term wealth for their clients through small property investments.

Since Nidal acquired most of his skill-set through hard-learned lessons in life and business, he believes that skills can be taught and what matters more are sincere dedication and a passion to succeed and innovate in the chosen industry. He judges talent based on their values and if whether or not they resonate with the company’s vision of growth. Nidal’s process of seeking new applicants is reflected extremely well by his favorite quote ‘Give a man a fish you’ll feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish; you’ll feed him for life.’

“We attract people who resonate with our values. We don’t hire based on skill, we hire based on values, and we teach the skills,” says Nidal.

Nidal Rasheed experienced quite a few obstacles throughout his entrepreneurial journey and eventually decided to restructure his business goals and increase his output. One advice that he would like to impart on the young and aspiring entrepreneurs is, to focus and work towards one goal before moving onto the next. This is the one piece of advice that he would also follow if he had to start from scratch all over again.

“Keep the main thing the main thing. As an entrepreneur its easy to get excited about new ideas and pursue different ventures. If I was to start all over again, I would keep things very focused and go deep rather than go wide,” says Nidal.
