About this listen

The motivation to launch this show is rooted in my desire to inspire women and diverse leaders who are considering a path of entrepreneurship, solopreneurship, freelancing and leading in their current or future organizations – basically anyone who is looking to level-up in both their life and business. I believe it is extremely helpful and important for us to have examples of diverse leaders who have pursued these paths so we can learn from them and find inspiration to follow our own entrepreneurial dreams. This is near and dear to my heart as I spent most of my life pursuing a career path in finance that was outwardly considered successful, with progressive jumps up the ladder rung but inside, I was not fulfilled or happy. Then, four years ago that all changed when I decided to take a leap and launch my own business and I went from a corporate professional to an entrepreneur, business coach & mentor who is obsessed with learning about future trends and innovative & disruptive ideas. And I love hearing and sharing the stories of the people behind those ideas. I believe the future will be built by those who see opportunity where others see uncertainty. It will be built by individuals that don’t look like the traditional leaders of our past but by women and individuals from diverse backgrounds that see the world differently and who are driven to make it better for all. This podcast will feature these people – self-made leaders & entrepreneurs that defy odds and are motivated to build a better Futura.Copyright 2022 Farrah Khimji Economics Leadership Management & Leadership Marketing Marketing & Sales Personal Finance

  • Double Down On This Investment…. You!
    Aug 16 2023

    Let's talk about investing in yourself. I'm not talking about buying luxury cars or extravagant vacations; I'm talking about investing in your growth, your development, and your journey towards becoming the best version of yourself.


    Picture it as planting a seed that grows into a forest of accomplishments. When you invest in yourself, you're sowing the seeds of true personal wealth and abundance. It's like creating a savings account for your own development, one that yields dividends far beyond monetary gains.


    The most remarkable investments you can make aren't in stocks or real estate; they're investments in yourself. By embracing personal and professional growth, you're making a commitment to your own future.


    In this episode I share:

    • The 5 reasons why investing yourself is so important
    • The 5 questions you can ask yourself to assess where you are at with this on your own journey


    Whether it's expanding your knowledge through education, nurturing your physical and mental well-being, building a strong network, fostering meaningful relationships, or daring to take calculated risks – each investment contributes to your own personal capital.


    Remember this: You are the finest investment you can ever make. Your potential is boundless, and the returns on this investment will span a lifetime. When you invest in yourself, you're setting the stage for lasting success and fulfillment.

  • Embracing the Power of Pause: Moving Beyond Hustle Culture
    Jul 26 2023

    In today's bustling world, it's all too easy to get caught up in the constant stream of information and distractions. But what if I told you that the key to clarity, inspiration, and personal alignment lies in the simple act of pausing?


    When we allow ourselves to take a break, we grant our minds the opportunity to tune into our own thoughts and connect with our higher self. Amidst the noise of social media, news, and external influences, it becomes challenging to hear our own inner voice. But through a moment of stillness, we can reconnect with our authentic selves and discover the wisdom that resides within.


    Pausing might seem unproductive, as if we're not accomplishing anything tangible. But in reality, it is during these pauses that we experience a reset—a chance to re-align and reconnect. We gain access to our inner wisdom, our intuition, and the guidance that comes from within. It is in these moments of internal reflection that we can discover what truly matters to us, what ignites our passions, and what aligns with our authentic selves.


    In this episode I share:

    • How Hustle Culture is counterproductive
    • Why we need to reframe the stigma around taking a break
    • The top 5 benefits that you experience when you give yourself the permission to pause


    This reconnection with our inner selves is where true inspiration lies. It's from this space of clarity that we can unveil our deepest desires, passions, and purpose. Sometimes, we don't need to take more action; instead, we need to take a step back and listen to the whispers of our souls.


    So, let's embrace the power of pausing and prioritize these moments of self-reflection. By doing so, we grant ourselves the gift of self-awareness and self-discovery. It's in these quiet moments that we gather the strength to make meaningful decisions and move towards our desired outcomes with clarity and purpose.
