All the way from Kuala Lumpur, today’s guest has such a spirit of generosity. I am thrilled to be able to share her story with you on this episode of She Sells Radio because I know you will feel as inspired as I am.
Murshidah Said is a multi-award winning international speaker, trainer, coach, and business owner. But she didn’t start out that way. In fact, Murshidah and her family hit rock bottom, but as she shares in today’s episode, her gratitude and generosity led to her turning just 50 cents into $5,000 in just two weeks. It sounds impossible, but Murshidah found the magic question and by discovering the law of giving and receiving, she continues to build wealth for herself and other women.
Not only is Murshidah an inspiration to business owners but to her community as well. She helps generate money for those in poverty and has developed educational programs to help them. What started out as something personal, Murshidah has implemented her generosity as a business model and has found that the more you give, the more you receive.
I am honored to have her on the show today and I encourage you to connect with Murshidah to learn how her business model won’t just help your business grow, but will leave a lasting impact on your community.
