Online entrepreneur extraordinaire, Suhail Nurmohamed, highlights “self-belief” as his major secret to success

Suhail Nurmohamed is an entrepreneur that has leveraged the power of the internet to rise above imaginable heights in the world of business. As an entrepreneur, the online businessman and business coach went through several challenges to attain his current status. In a recent interview, the online business magnate described “self-belief” as the factor that has fueled his success as an entrepreneur and individual as a whole.

“My secret to success is that I have been very disciplined and showed up even when I didn’t feel like I wanted to. Self-belief is my greatest secret to success. Thousands could believe in you but if you do not believe in yourself it means nothing,” said Suhail Nurmohamed.

The business environment is highly competitive and dynamic, to say the least, with companies of different sizes across different industries jostling for their share of the pie. Several research works have substantiated this claim, revealing that a relatively low percentage of businesses make it past their first year, and even more startups fail to make it to their fifth anniversary. Unfortunately, more people often start their entrepreneurial journey without having a full grasp of what it takes to successfully run a business. This is one of the major factors that lead to the failure of enterprises, particularly with many of the available resources offering seemingly abstract tips to aspiring entrepreneurs. One individual that has defied all the odds to break through the intense competition as a businessman is Suhail Nurmohamed.

Suhail did not have the best of beginnings, with his father having to work 3 to 4 jobs to keep the family moving after his mum was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and was unable to work. However, this rather unfortunate situation only motivated Suhail to push harder. The struggles of his family and not enjoying the basic things of life seem to have helped in molding as he started his entrepreneurial journey at a very early age, getting into the labor market at 16.

At 16, Suhail was already selling packaged sweets he bought from the local corner shop and was beginning to make good money selling to all the students at school. Suhail showed his discipline and tenacity to pursue every cause he set out to, at a very young age and this has helped him as an entrepreneur.

SamBoat Makes Waves in the US

The sharing economy’s massive popularity has led to the creation of blockbuster companies like Airbnb, VRBO, eBay, Uber, and Lyft, to name just a few. According to a report by Proficient Market Insights, the size of the sharing economy was $113 billion in 2021 and is predicted to reach $600 billion by 2027.

One of the newest companies to enter this space, SamBoat, now enables the owners of sailboats and motorboats to offer their vessels for rent. Because yachts are expensive to buyand maintain — in many cases, more expensive than purchasing and maintaining a home — yacht owners can offset some of their costs by listing their craft on the platform.

Those who may not be able to afford their own boat can still experience life on the water, however. No knowledge of boating is required, as many charters include the possibility of hiring a skipper.

The inspiration for SamBoat

When young French entrepreneurs Laurent Calando and Nicolas Cargou met, a friendship, as well as a new venture, was born. Cargou was an avid Airbnb user, and Calando had grown up sailing with his family. Throughout the course of their conversation, they realized that the sharing economy covered a lot of bases, but it didn’t include boating, which they were both passionate about.

The pair sensed an opportunity, which quickly led to action. In April 2014, they officially launched SamBoat in the Bordeaux region of France.

“SamBoat’s marketplace exploded in Europe over the next few years,” explains Robert Harrington, SamBoat’s US Country Manager. The company offers yachts throughout the Mediterranean, Aegean, and other popular travel destinations.

As evidence of the popularity of the boat-sharing model, SamBoat grew by over 70 percent in 2022. Since its founding, the company has enabled more than a million people to take to the seas. Now, the platform is rapidly expanding its listings throughout the US.

Where SamBoat operates in the US

SamBoat has already — albeit indirectly — served its American customers for quite some time, as American vacationers have often rented boats in Greece, France, Italy, or Spain through its platform. But now, the company is beginning to serve Americans on the other side of the Atlantic, right here at home.

SamBoat rentals are currently available in many American ports. The marketplace currently offers hundreds of boats just in the state of Florida, where the fleet extends up the Keys to West Palm Beach, and throughout the west coast, including Tampa, Clearwater, Naples, and Ft. Myers. SamBoat also has many boats in Chicago and Seattle, as well as throughout New England.

In the near future, the company will expand its offerings in San Diego and Los Angeles. SamBoat also plans to open in Lake Tahoe, Lake of the Ozarks, Lake Havasu, and Lake Champlain by mid-summer 2023. It also aims to have fleets available in Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket by the same time.

“Our goal is to offer thousands of boats to rent throughout the United States by the end of the year,” Harrington says.

How SamBoat expands

SamBoat operates anywhere boat owners choose to list their craft for rent. “Just because the marketplace might not already have a whole regatta in a given port doesn’t mean it can’t or doesn’t operate there,” Harrington says. “Listings grow organically, cropping up wherever opportunity calls boat owners to take advantage of existing demand.”

For instance, while SamBoat only officially launched in the United States this past year, the platform was open to US-based boat owners and renters last year. From January 2022 compared to January 2023, the platform experienced a 500% increase in US-based business.

This means that, if you own a boat, you can bring SamBoat to your home port. All you have to do is go to SamBoat’s website, follow a few simple steps, upload photos of your boat along with its relevant details, and respond to rental inquiries.

“Now is the right time for boat owners to get in early and beat the rush,” Harrington says.

The secret to SamBoat’s success

American consumers have responded enthusiastically to SamBoat’s arrival for a number of reasons. First and foremost, the platform offers the very same boats as other companies, yet their prices are on average 10 percent cheaper.

The reason for this is simple: unlike most other yacht and boat rental services, SamBoat doesn’t charge its customers inflated “junk” fees.

In addition, SamBoat makes renting a yacht simple and easy. Generally speaking, other boat-sharing websites outsource customer service to the owners of the listed yachts. They will only answer the phone or attend to you if you are booking something of a high dollar amount, while the average boat rental costs under $1,000. This can lead to a very frustrating process for someone who has questions but can’t seem to get a response from a boat’s owner.

At SamBoat, however, a real human being answers every inquiry. “Sometimes, that person is me,” Harrington says. This makes it much easier for people to rent the perfect boat that will meet their individual needs.

SamBoat fulfills a long-awaited need for sailing and boating enthusiasts worldwide. With the arrival of SamBoat in the US, it’s an even more exciting time for Americans to participate in the sharing economy.
