Detaching From Your Business (the price you pay for success, saying no, doing things no one would, imposter syndrome is real) - Aliya Rajah - Episode #17.1

My First Business

(This is part 1 of the interview)
“I’m not going to sugarcoat it and say the journey and say it’s been easy because it’s been SO hard. Following your own path requires an insane amount of resilience, grit and patience as well as hard work (and way more hours than when you’re an employee). But would I change anything? Absolutely not.”

Meet Aliya - a personal+professional development coach, corporate trainer, entrepreneur, and founder of Coaching with Aliya.

Aliya shares strategies to help people stop standing in their own way, overcome their fears, and make their dreams a reality.

In Episode 17 of My First Business, Aliya and I talked about:

⭐ The price you pay for success ⭐ How she practices saying “no” ⭐ Doing things that no one would want to do ⭐ Being your own cheerleader (and thoughts on imposter syndrome) ⭐ Not wanting ‘millions of followers’ ⭐ Icky selling ⭐ Knowing your time’s worth ⭐ Learning how to sell ⭐ Her first win! ⭐ What super high achievers are doing wrong! ⭐ Detachment from your own business

Aliya’s journey → After studying Biomedical Science and then completing a Master’s in Public Health in the UK, Aliya quickly climbed the corporate career ladder.

It wasn’t long before she realized that the boxes she was ticking didn’t offer the fulfillment or sense of achievement she hoped.

Aliya got her life coaching and NLP accreditations while remaining in her job, before making the move into coaching full-time.

She initially focused on working with professional women in London, attracting a strong following at her workshops and group coaching sessions.

Aliya then moved to the UAE in 2018 and she is now one of the leading coaches in the UAE, working with male and female clients, including CEOs, public figures, celebrities, professors, lawyers, and healthcare professionals. She has conducted training sessions for ADNOC, the Ministry of Education, the Emirates Foundation, and First Abu Dhabi Bank.
