Intimidation can prevent someone from moving forward even if it's just thinking about what you want to do with your business or career. But as a pre-licensed therapist, this didn’t stop Akilah from pursuing her interest in business services. She has proved that it's never too early to start tapping into investing in yourself and really understanding where you want your career to go before it actually happens.

Akilah Peters, a Clinical Social Worker Associate, joins us in this episode to share her CE workshop and coaching mastermind experience with other licensed therapists, and how this serves as a pivotal moment in her career and business life.

Standout Quotes from Akilah:
"Once we did the workshop for the day, I really was comfortable and started seeing how authentic these ladies were showing up for their brands— and realizing that it was important for me to get started now in order to really push the envelope on what I was starting to envision for myself." (06:53)

"I did join a group practice even though I'm an intern; so I'm doing that part-time as well. And once I sit for this exam and can really coming under my own, I feel like I'm more than ready and have a lot of things to offer." (15:35)

"You are able to move your goals further and make it more tangible and real when you actually align with the people that are meant to be on your path." (19:35)


 
Standout Quotes from Doctor TK:
"As you evolve and you become more clear about what your interests are based on your life stage, those things can change. And as a professor, I always encourage students to get a breadth of experience before you get licensed." (12:26) 

"Every individual has to understand their limitations: Maybe in a program where somebody is going 40 hours working on their business to grow or scale it, and you may choose to give 10 hours to your business a week. But that's okay because that's the life stage that you're at right now." (15:08)

"When we talk about the mastermind community in scaling your business, you can be like how you're here right now on different levels based on your goals. And the biggest thing is just to have the vision of where you want to end up." (16:14)
