In this series, we’ll be highlighting burgeoning entrepreneurs in the modern era. These are folks who have taken the risk of quitting their conventional jobs in pursuit of their passions. This is a difficult road that many never find the courage to take, but the rewards are so worth it, and as you know, “no risk, no reward.”
In this episode, we meet Elisha Ali, who went from a chef with humble beginnings to transforming his passion for travel into a profitable business and career.
Tell Me A Little More About What You Do And How You Got Into It
Well you know how people want more fun, freedom and fulfilment in life? I help and show people how to create just that. I got into by watching someone else live how I wanted to, until I dropped my EGO and asked him what he does. Now I travel for a living and enjoy every bit of it.
Do you Remember Your First Day? What Were You Feeling?
My first day was November 4th 2015 and I was super excited, I was ignorance on fire. I was feeling like everyone I know MUST see what I just saw that made me say yes.
What Were You Doing Before? What Made You Want To Try Something New?
I was chefing it up, it was all I knew, and growing my brand #ICMOD ( I create my own destiny) I needed something different in my life, I was missing something, I needed a vehicle to help me reach my goals faster. Fast is fun slow is painful, but I also didn’t want to be in hurry. And I knew if I kept doing the same thing I would keep getting the same results. So I made a Decision to go all in with this deal.
How Do You Balance Your Time?
I balance my time very well, I still work a part time job, which makes my living and build this business to make my fortune, all I need 5 hours a week to our into this and I can prosper, of course more time I choose to put into it better results so get. Some weeks are 5hours minimum and others are 20 or more, all depending on my schedule, but never less than 5 hours a week is put into this.
Tell Me About Your Business…
So pretty much I’m in the travel and entertainment industry, one being a trillion dollar industry and growing and the other being something that people partake in on a daily. I just show people a better way to travel and create memories, because our memories is all that matters in the end.
How Much Time Per Week Would You Say You Dedicate To Your Work?
Like I said before I dedicate 5 hours minimum to my business. Some weeks more. I love spending time with family and serving others in my “free time” if there’s a such thing, lol.
What’s Next For You?
Up next is becoming a married man, so my life will transform a bit, I’m going to keep pushing until I exceed my financial goals, we have speaking engagements coming from myself next, and some movies I actually wrote and will be producing. So much more to come from me and our team.
Any Advice For People Wanting To Follow A Similar Path?
My word of advice for anyone is to make the DECISION to get it done. “Plans change, decisions don’t”, and you create your own destiny.
