This weeks guest, Saiyyidah Zaidi or the
Millionaire Muslimah joins us to speak about her
incredible journey from growing up on Englands
equivalent of welfare to becoming an
extraordinary home based entrepreneur. She
discusses her journey from leaving a 6-figure job
to start her business. It wasnt an all rosy
journey but definitely worth the struggle. Now
shes here to share how to become an entrepreneur
with our listeners! SUMMARY Saiyyidah got her
first job at 11 years old at a summer camp. She
grew up with the traditional plans of getting her
university education and finding a good job. And
thats exactly what she did. She became an
architect until a bad accident left her unable to
do this job. Later she got a government job
making 170,000/year. Shes also an expert
growth coach and positive psychologist. Im still
not sure where she found the time for all of her
accomplishments! Saiyyidah seemed to be living
the dream but she grew increasingly unhappy with
her job. The final straw was when she realized
that a new contract they were working on included
riba. Wanting nothing to do with this decision-
making process, she went home and told her
husband she wanted to quit. He

supported her fully and said Do what makes you
happy and we will get by. Being the main
bread-winner, this was a huge relief to have the
support of her loving husband. But after she
quit, it wasnt all roses. She found herself
depressed and in bed for 6 months, constantly
hearing her moms voicing saying why did you do
it. Weve all been there or if you are
aspiring to be an entrepreneur you will most
likely be there! After getting herself together
Saiyyidah has gone on to launch many successful
business ventures and programs. She has been
recognized by many prominent leaders and
organizations for her work. And shes an
absolute joy and pleasure to work with. Im so
blessed and lucky to have her in my life
now. Her latest project Millionaire Muslimah was
born out of the frustration of seeing many Muslim
women struggle with financial independence. The
struggle of wanting to work but also wanting to
care for your family. What do you do? How do you
start? How do you balance the two? Millionaire
Muslimah is here to address just that, along with
other issues around this topic. This is
definitely an episode you dont want to
miss! TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE Biggest
Mistake Not believing in myself. Dont let
anyones negativity or bad words get in the way
of you believing that you can deliver and do what
you want

Failure- You got to make failure your
friend.The learning you get through it is
phenomenal and the application of that. I want to
keep failing so that I can keep growing.
