Entrepreneur Achta Kadre Saleh has urged women to invest in themselves and pursue their ambitions. She says success begins with self-belief and a clear vision.

She spoke to MRTV English after launching her book, Level Up Entrepreneurial. She described it as a guide to personal growth rather than a business manual.

“It’s all about life. It’s about keeping your vision, balancing work and family, and setting boundaries to succeed,” she said.

Ms. Kadre drew inspiration from her own experiences. She hopes her story will encourage other women to overcome challenges and believe in their potential.

“Everything starts with yourself. You are the business. Take time to ask yourself: Where am I going? Where will I be in two, three or five years?” she said.

She said she wrote the book to remind women that they deserve more and should never allow obstacles to define their future.

“I want women to say, ‘I deserve more in life, and I won’t let anything stop me,’” she said.
