Story by Azeeza Jalaludeen – SHINE
I was working very passionately in frontline service & call center environments for more than 7 years, before ‘retiring’ to family life focusing on pro-creation. Children became my world. I quit my work to take care of them Full-time, & my family became priority. I truly enjoyed my time with the little ones, their first steps & first words.
Soon, as they started outgrowing me, I began to feel the “bore” bug creeping in. My life was constantly revolving around children, I started feeling lonely & ‘routine’ in my life.
This was when I was introduced to business ideas. I got to know the concept of working from home, with flexible hours, & make my life more meaningful. The real “eye-opener” for me, was when I attended the “Money & You”, a US based, Personal Development Program, in Chinese. Over a short span of 3 days, the program went on into wee hours & deep into my heart, and I discovered my passion & viability in the people development business.
Time & again, over more than 4 years, despite any other businesses I worked on, my heart was brought back to the beauty of Professional Speaking & Training.
My marital life took a serious turn in this cause of work, & made me stronger too. Now I’m happily re-married, with my destiny man, Dr Ramesh Nambiar. He founded the Social Enterprise, SHINE – Self-Help International Network Enterprise. I’m together with him & in our mission of adding value to mankind, through any & every way possible. With a very supportive husband who nurtures my growth as a human & a career person, I take my work very affectionately.
Since starting my business, I’ve also discovered niche areas in developing various programs & my marketing skills. Now under SHINE Academia De Aedificatio, we offer Programs that are not just courses/ seminars, its a Career path, that can take you a long way in your choice of passion for financial & holistic success. Most programs are approved for SDF Grants by WDA. This includes Social Entrepreneur Development Programs & the World’s ONLY Graduate Programs in Professional Speaking / Training. We also have Conversational Mandarin Programs, People Relations & Professional Networking Certifications.
I’ve started a non-profit support group SHINE Endometriosis Awareness & Support – FIRST in Asia, with online support, for women & their families.
My work gives me the flexibility to spend quality time with my children, & keep a close eye on their studies. The joy of working with your life-partner is immense, though challenging at times. The other perk Of course is being able to take off-peak breaks at good deals. What more can you expect when it is financially very satisfying too?
I’ve learnt that a business can have Lasting Success ONLY when; -
1) You are doing the Business that you truly have a passion for
2) Your Business is a 100% viable model – preferably in a niche industry
3) You have Continual learning & innovation of product/ service
4) You are open to new concepts & ideas
5) Your have a team of quality people, that work for you &/or provide referrals to you.
As I’ve experienced & know of many people, who’s business stop growing when they refuse to grow (learn). So I stand by this – “Grow yourself to Grow your business.”
I’m passionate in the development of an individual’s inner being, rather than the “tools” that beautify them, to facilitate people to live a more Fulfilling Life. I belief that when you help a person, shine inside out, it makes you SHINE through with them! This satisfaction is the ultimate gratification of the trillion-dollar Professional Speaking & Training Industry!
Co-Founder of SHINE…. The Universal Hand Helping You Discover Fulfillment in Life!

As a mom, I also feel that I should take care of my kid Full Time, enjoy time with her especially when she is still a toddler.
Many moms just too busy get stuck with the full time job and leave too little time for the kids. I was a FTWM and I had limited time for my Baby Moon. Also I missed some of her first time and first words. I was thinking that if I were to wait until I “have earned enough” to quit my job and hope to spend more time with her, she might not need my accompany during that time. She will grow up and has her own life.
So, I plan to have home based business so that I could have more time with my girl at home when she is small. When she grows up and has her own life, I also won’t end up feeling lonely but have my own business to focus on. Of course, like your sharing, a business can have lasting success only with the few factors. And I truly agree with you!
