We had the good fortune of connecting with Nicole Hanasab and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nicole, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important factor behind my success is my belief in myself. Starting a business is hard, and definitely takes a lot of time to become ‘successful’. But I never let the difficulties, set backs, and slow pace of growth doubt my worth as a Life Coach. I always had certainly in myself and in the path I was in. I knew my worth and was patient with the growth of my business.

Please tell us more about your work. We’d love to hear what sets you apart from others, what you are most proud of or excited about. How did you get to where you are today professionally. Was it easy? If not, how did you overcome the challenges? What are the lessons you’ve learned along the way. What do you want the world to know about you or your brand and story?
As a Life Coach I help my clients accomplish goals and reach new heights, both in their careers and personal life. I go deeper with my clients, helping them understand themselves and their situations from a deeper perspective, in order to make the best decisions moving forward. One of the most important factors of accomplishing goals is understanding what our goals are. I help my clients understand themselves and empower themselves to clearly see what they want to accomplish, then we make it happen!

Starting a business is work! But I never gave up on what I wanted. I was patient, persistent, and knew my worth. I never let the slowness of building my business make me doubt myself, I always had certainly in myself, what I had to offer, and what I was going to build.

My piece of advice to anyone wanting to build a business, just do it! Don’t let the chatter of your mind slow you down or doubt your decisions. Know you can do it, and make it happen!
