Hi, I’m Aisha–
I want to help you use your gifts to create a fulfilling business that gives you the freedom and financial stability to live your best life.
When I started my own educational consulting business, all I had was a deep desire to do more with my gifts.
Twenty years ago, I started as a classroom teacher. Just out of college, single and fueled with the passion for education, I didn’t get into the profession for the money
.
As the years went by, I went from being a teacher to grade level chair to assistant principal. No matter what role I had in education, my salary couldn’t keep up with the life I wanted to live. I got married and wanted a house and to travel. I had kids and wanted to provide them experiences like gymnastics lessons and family vacations. Those things required more money than my “steps” could afford..
I loved my students, but I didn’t know there was a way to do the work I loved and have the financial cushion I wanted and needed for myself.
So six years ago, I started an educational consulting company teaching parents how to choose and apply to the right schools for their children. Think of a college consultant but for K-12 public and private schools. Having worked in public, private and charter schools, it was the perfect use of my skills and expertise, and the extra $3,000+ I made per month didn’t hurt either.
But there was one problem:
Consulting meant that I could afford more experiences, but as my business grew, I had less and less time to spend with my family.
I needed to figure out a way to take what I knew and share it with my clients without being physically present. I decided to create an online course teaching first-time parents how to choose the best school for their child. I’ll never forget the first time someone I’d never met, never spoken with paid $399 and enrolled in my course. It was then that I discovered the power of online courses.
It was then that I discovered the freedom, financial stability, and fulfillment online courses could provide.
There were so many things I learned from my experience, but the most important thing is: everyone knows something that is valuable to someone else and when we tap into that and share it in service of others, we find the fulfillment we’ve been looking for.
Many of us are sitting on our gifts because using them isn't a part of our job description and the thought of leaving our students makes us feel guilty. That, coupled with the fear of the unknown and the stories we tell ourselves about not knowing enough, not having enough time or enough money, paralyzes us.
I am here to tell you that you are more than one thing. You are more than what you do at work. You know something right now that can help someone else, and using your gifts to create freedom and financial stability is the magic.
When I started my journey, I didn’t have money to hire a coach, and I didn’t know online courses were even a thing. So I felt my way around, often stumbling in the dark trying to find my way. Once my business was up and running, I wondered why I’d waited so long. I knew enough to start my consulting business (that grew to include online courses) long before I got started. I could and should have started while I was an administrator.
I created Live Your Best Life because I want to be the coach I needed. I want to encourage and support you. I want to help you see and tap into all that you are, so that you can live the life you want now.
