Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in personal development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Nageen (Nyn) Riffat, Founder of Nyn's Dreams LLC., located in Texas/Connecticut, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

Nyn's Dreams is a 'Leadership Development Consultant.' We work with women entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, and non-profits to develop their leadership skills with a focus on Emotional Intelligence. Our work is focused on women's empowerment, so a division of our business works with domestic violence & human trafficking survivors to become resilient and resonant individuals of society and live their dream lives with dignity.

Tell us about yourself

My entrepreneurial journey started after I came to the USA with my two sons to seek refuge from a life-threatening domestic violence situation in my own country. For the past ten years, through my company Nyn's Dreams, I have dedicated myself to empowering women and guiding them to embrace their potential. As a leadership consultant, author and speaker, I have helped thousands of women build a life of success, influence, and positive impact, both within and outside of the USA.

My biggest motivation is to attain financial stability for my boys, and my work aligns with my passion for guiding women to know themselves, be themselves, and put themselves out in the world authentically, unapologetically & powerfully.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Evolved as an expert on Emotional Intelligence, award-winning speaker on 'Resilience,' published author, and influencer in the area of DEI (diversity, equity & inclusion)

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Managing time for myself while keeping up with the pace of the fast-paced demands of clients.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Never let anyone else's success demotivate you; they have walked challenges before the apparent glory.
  2. Start a business that aligns with your passion.
  3. Focus on educating, not hard-selling.
