Since 2009, Alisa Hoosein has been coaching client of mine. I met her in a nail salon where I used to do my eyebrows around that time. I remember seeing everyone waiting for her, so I knew she had to be good. I mean, there could be several ladies free to wax you and no one would want anyone but Alisa! She always had a line! LOL

Fast forward a few years, she now owns her OWN spa called the Brow Boutique. It’s sexy, chic, and a great place to go for your brows, facials and much more, located right in Miramar, Florida. How’s that for taking your talent and passion to the next level? I’m so proud of her and I hope you can get to meet her and her team too!

She’s not only a past client and but dear friend to me and  I’m pleased to reintroduce Nikki Clifton as a NEW AUTHOR. Find out more about Nikki by reading on…CONGRATS NIK!!!

What project are you working on? 

I recently completed writing an empowering and inspirational myopic memoir titled “Through Ruby-Red Glasses.” The book has been praised by reviewers, is in press and will be available this month.

Biggest accomplishment to date?

Completing the book writing and publishing process -whew!

What’s keeps you motivated?

Two things keep me motivated: 1: Remembering the sacrifice of the Civil Rights movement and, 2: Knowing that challenges are life’s way of asking me to choose to be a better me.

I attended an OYP group “Design Your Destiny”  session in which participants created vision boards. Having the energy of the pictures in front of me each day kept me focused on practical, daily steps to bring the picture to realization for me!

How do you stay grounded?

Prayer to the Creator and positive Self-talk.

 SPECIAL FOR OYP MEMBERS AND FANS ONLY:

Discounted proofreading and copy-editing services.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Through Ruby-Red Glasses is an empowering myopic memoir filled with sadness, strength and the triumph of the human spirit. Clifton’s real-life journey is beautifully captured in the voice of her 9-year-old self and that she came through such unimaginable difficulties with a sense of humor is remarkable.

After being sexually molested, Nikki’s young life is re-routed and given new perspective by her grandmother, Ruby. Written in down-to-earth language with colorful doses of 80’s nostalgia, you’ll find yourself cheering for the little girl.

Through Ruby-Red Glasses is a page-turner that doesn’t tell a story; it brings the reader along for a life-transforming journey of love and faith.

I first coached this dynamic duo – Christina and Ash back in  2009 and watched them take the bull by horns and go after their dreams over the years. In 2011, one of their major dreams came true! They are the proud owners of a Lionheart Modern Martial Arts, located in New Jersey.  They empower people by teaching them self-confidence through mixed martial arts training

What inspired you to start it? 

Ash: A combination of experiencing the positive impact martial arts has first hand, a love of studying, sharing, teaching and helping others – and an Intuitive Life Coaching session with  Simone Kelly that said I should leave the corporate job I wasn’t happy in and eventually I’d  “turn boys into men” as Simone put it way back when.

Any interesting facts that you can share about your industry? 

People already figure that martial arts contributes to physical fitness and learning self-defense skills.  What’s less known is how training martial arts positively influences relationships outside of the dojo – at home, work & social situations. Putting yourself out there, dealing with people from all walks of life, solving problems, testing yourself against others -builds self confidence, patience and emotional  endurance.

 Most popular problem you help people solve?  

Often times, people begin with a specific goal in mind, maybe to lose weight or learn self-defense – and they tend to meet their goals just by coming to class.  Then as the weeks pass,  students experience positive changes that carry over into their overall quality of life.  Feeling better, making new friends, being in tune with the body, stress release that improves relationships at home or work, learning to face problems.  Then they make new goals – clean diet, training for a competition, adding different disciplines of martial arts to their training.  That’s the best part.  The evolution of the soul!

 Who is Your Favorite Mentor? 

Ash: Muhammed Ali – his confidence, energy and work ethic are eternally inspirational.

Cris: There so many! I will have to say my husband Ash and Maya Angelou right now.  Ash understands me and supports me!  Being a woman, a mother in the world of martial arts, I’m definitely a minority and he believes in my dreams always. Maya Angelou for her poetry which helps me stand up straight when I am having a rough day.

What is a Book You’d Recommend and why?  

Ash:  A Fighter’s Heart, by Sam Sheridan

Cris: Women Who Run with the Wolves (every women needs this book!) & Andre Galvao’s Drill to win – Its a jiujitsu book with amazing drills to practice, broken down and diagramed.

How do you stay motivated? 

The students make it easy.  Watching people grow for the better, being a part of the learning process and support system is very rewarding.  Plus, it’s loads of FUN

What’s a bold move you took that turned your business around? 

We have had students come in here try a class or two and love it.  Then they tell us they have no job. lol.  We pride ourselves on being in this business for the betterment of people – so we work with students who need help.  Sometimes that means letting them train while they secure a job or bartering services in exchange for training.

We have found that working with people has helped the school to grow, and it always comes back tenfold. Some of our most dedicated students wouldn’t be here if we had been super rigid with our financial policies when they arrived at the door.

Describe your business and what made you launch it?

Growing up I’ve always been involved in beauty. Starting as a little girl playing in my mom’s make up, as she was a model when I was a toddler. Also I was in pageants, modeling, cheering and homecoming court. It was always about beauty. Not just outer beauty, but inner as well.

I have always said that one day I would have my own make up line. The goal was to have make up that would cross the spectrum of all women and all colors.

What was your biggest fear behind launching your business and how you overcame it and OWNED YOUR POWER?

There really wasn’t any fear in launching, I think the biggest issue has been just finding enough time to take it to the level that I know it can go to. I finally took a year off  from the corporate world and decided to put the time and energy into the product so that it can one day be a household name.

It’s about being dedicated and not afraid of hard work. Realizing that sometimes you might be pushed back two steps, but persistence and dedication will take you three steps farther than where you were before. It’s a process and I take things one day at a time.

What are some of your favorite success stories from the past or current clients? 

Having someone send me a thank you that had really never worn make up before and has started using Brei Cosmetics and has found the real woman in her. Her husband loves the new her, it’s added a little more spice into their life and gave her just a little color and light to enhance her natural beauty. Brei Cosmetics is for the modern woman and it allows all women to create the beauty they want and see for themselves.
