Meet Ali

Hi, I’m Ali. Welcome to my site.

I help Self Employed Professionals make changes in their business and life to create success on their own terms.

If you want to transform your levels of success in all areas of your life, you are in the right place.

I believe working for yourself is the key to freedom – in all areas of your life. Your business should serve you in living your ideal life.

Yet many self employed professionals have become a slave to their business. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

My job is to help you to design your ideal life and business, then support you as you turn that into reality.

It is all about creating your own definition of success and freedom in ALL areas of your life – on your own terms.

Most people live by accident and as a result settle for mediocrity in their business, life and relationships. Living by accident does not deliver the life , business or relationships you really want. The solution is to live and work by design. That is what I specialise in.

 

My Philosophy on Life & Business

1. Chasing Work life Balance is a waste of time. It doesn’t deliver your ideal. It is designing life and business on your own terms that is the key to freedom.

2. Whose defintion of success are you living by? To live the life you really want you have to create your own definition of success based on your core values.

3. Working for yourself is the key to Freedom. It is time to end being a slave to business and have it work for us. The purpose of work should be to serve us.

4. Healthy relationships are the life blood of fulfillment – both professionally and personally.

5. Master your Mindset = Master your life. Being committed to developing yourself and your mindset is the single most important thing you can do to improve results in your life, business and relationship.

My “Design Life” Story

I left the corporate world in 2001 after 14 years because it was sucking the life out of me. It was stopping me living the life I really wanted and costing me the things I valued most in life. It felt like I had been selling my soul and freedom for many years.

I decided it was time to make a living doing meaningful work that didn’t result in sacrificing my family life, relationships and quality of life.

So, in 2001 I stepped off the Corporate hamster wheel and became Self Employed.  I have never regretted it for a second. This career transition enabled me to take back control over all areas of my life, both professionally and personally.

In 2004 I had my son and chose to close down my first business to be a stay at home mum.

Having lived for years where my corporate career dictated, Team Davies left the UK in 2006 and moved to live in beautiful West Cork in Ireland. We are currently planning a new move – to Vancouver, Canada. All part of our “design life” masterplan!

I sampled the delights and challenges of being a stay at home mum for a few years before starting up my current business which I run from home.  

Creating a business that operates around family life and our lifestyle has been liberating. I now live & work on my own terms, by my own definition of success.
