Oftentimes, people wonder how some are able to maintain a full-time job as well as manage other successful businesses. Do you have to possess some supernatural powers? Though this may seem like a daunting feat, in this interview with business analyst and branding specialist Tami Adeleke (@takeoffwithtami), I discuss some strategies to achieve success in your professional and personal lives simultaneously as an IMG!
There is a seven step approach on the IMG Roadmap six week program, however, since this is not a one-size-fits-all, in order to benefit from the program, students are recommended to seek individualized coaching which is tailor-made to address specific needs.  To date, 300 students have benefitted from this IMG Roadmap program.
Here are some of the major roadblocks that IMG’s face:

The immigration process for non-immigrants in obtaining citizenship in the US
Academic roadblocks and competing with US graduates
Language barriers for those with first languages other than English
Various socioeconomic challenges.

Before visiting the coach, the following should be considered:

What are my goals, where do I have a deficiency and need the most help with
How do I maximize my time, what do I need to accomplish during this session
What solution can be implemented to resolve the problem?

The key to success in maintaining a balance between one's professional and personal life is to:

Delegate! Delegate! Delegate! 
“Take ownership for what you don’t know and seek help on what you need to know!”
Schedule and make the best of each waking hour.
Seek guidance and express gratitude to God.

Here are some of the reasons people may not succeed in their professional lives:

Personal, social and sometimes financial factors
The internal fear of success and the unwillingness to take risks
Failure to realize that the onus is on you to make the investment in your personal development!
