Allison's Story
My first exposure to the business world was through my father, who ran one of the largest privately owned women's clothing chains in the United States in the 1970's. I used to accompany him as he traveled from store to store studying and absorbing the nuances of his art of business. His entrepreneurial spirit must have rubbed off because I carry his same capacity to manifest and create success. He made it look so easy, so I grew up believing it was. It has been this deep belief that anything is possible, which has been the number one secret to my accomplishments.
With this gift and my years of experience as an entrepreneur, I began to see that my formula for success fit into an incredible framework. From this winning structure that I was duplicating over and over again to manifest the visions in all areas of my life, I created my unique Blast Off! To Success System. I have now incorporated this unique paradigm into 3 dynamic programs that are transforming hundreds of peoples personal and professional lives.
My first business venture, Expressions by Ali, began in college when I was hired by fellow classmates to write personalized poetry for special occasions, such as birthdays, anniversaries, Mother's Day, etc. I moved to Atlanta and the demand for these poems grew. I naively thought, "I can make a living at this!" Reality set in when I realized that at $25.00 a poem, I was going to have to be writing and selling furiously day and night to cover the rent. So I decided to mass market them as greeting cards and as fate would have it, I was hired to design thank you cards for MCI nationwide. The business evolved and I began accepting requests to designing brochures and buying media even though I had no background or knowledge in advertising.
My motto was, take the work, surround myself with experts in the field, then figure out how to make it happen. I moved to San Diego, took on a partner and developed a full service Advertising/ Public Relations Firm that handled many national accounts including Charlotte Russe, Supercuts, Charter Hospital and Ben and Jerry's. During my spare time I also co- opened a beauty salon and a scuba diving shop that still thrive today. After ten years of building these business', I realized that even though I had gained the monetary and creative rewards, something was missing on a much deeper level in my life.
In my soul quest for a more meaningful direction, I discovered the transformative abilities of the 200- year-old system of medicine called Homeopathy. I sold the agency and salon and decided to go back to school. After becoming a Nationally Certified Professional Homeopath and Licensed Holistic Health Practitioner, I opened my own private practice in Encinitas, California. For the past 14 years, I have consulted with thousands of clients to help them lead healthier, more fulfilling lives. Then, in 1999, I built The Homeopathic Academy of Southern California, a Three Year Homeopathic Training Program in San Diego to create more awareness for the science in this part of the world. HASC is known worldwide as one of the most comprehensive and successful homeopathic school in the United States.
After years of helping people lead healthier and happier lives, my clients began observing my entrepreneurial spirit with all the business ventures I was continuously involved in. They began asking me to guide and support them to develop new paths in their career, help them develop businesses and show them how to bring more fulfillment in their personal lives. This was the birth of
Blast Off.
My favorite part of Life and Career Coaching has been enthusing people to follow their dreams while witnessing the dynamic changes that occur when people get out of their own way. What I have learned over the past several years as an entrepreneur is that the fulfillment does not come from money and achievement alone. It is about finding a way to operate from the unity of knowledge, logic, the heart and the soul and learning to draw from the serendipitous guidance of my intuition and my inner voice. This deliberate choice to lead a passion filled life has helped keep my feet on the ground, my mind focused and optimistic, even in the most challenging personal and business scenarios. The financial rewards have been the icing on the cake!
Personally Speaking
I was a single mom for 12 years. Three years ago, when I finally applied the same powerful principles that I had used to create successful businesses into my love life, I married my true love, my dearest friend and soulmate. Yes I did! I also raised my lovely daughter who now is in college. I continue to run a multitude of successful businesses and lead a very fun and fulfilling life.
My favorite sport is the Flying Trapeze. Yes, just like in the circus! Similar to the real world, Trapeze can be challenging, exciting and at some point, you have to trust and let go! My passions are my family, my three dogs and cat, laughing, building long term working relationships with my clients, and keeping my eyes open to create the newest business venture.
The Blast Off Vision
Through my years of working with clients and students, I have come to understand how and why human beings create their own personal limits in every aspect of their lives, including: relationships, personal joy, career, health, prosperity and spirituality. I have learned to identify these self-applied roadblocks and teach my clients how to release them; and then gives the tools to become proficient in living abundant, richer and freer lives. My greatest hope is that you have every opportunity to benefit from my
Blast Off! system to achieve love and happiness, success and fulfillment in all areas of your life now, today.
I invite you to read my book,
Blast Off, begin moving forward with my web-based software program, Blastation and work with me one-on-one to create the most fantastic life and career you have ever dreamed of.
