About Me

Simona Rich

Thanks for stopping by to read my articles. Since you're on this page, you're probably wondering who's the person behind this website. My name is Simona Rich and I'm entrepreneur and success coach. My purpose in life is to empower people and provide them with tools to achieve their goals.

Here's a short story about who I am and why I created this website.

Around four years ago I came to the United Kingdom to study tourism. That didn't last long - I quit after around two months because I realised it wasn't for me. I thought that studying tourism would be very exciting but it really wasn't and the career in tourism wasn't too promising either. So after some intense consideration I decided to discontinue my studies. How glad I am today that I've made such decision!

This was probably the time when I started to slightly wake up from the false belief system that so many people unconsciously are ruled by, but there was still a long way for me to go to become empowered and free.

As soon as I came to the UK, I started to work as a receptionist in a game arcade which I quite liked because of the people that worked there. We would play bowling and other games before going home and on some weekends we would meet up and have a great time together. But the job itself was really tiring and the managers constantly asked me to work overtime which I couldn't do because of my studies at that time.

So one day I came back from the uni, checked my mobile and found 20 messages (no kidding!) left from my manager asking me to do some overtime work. After a week of this incident I got a letter via post telling me that I was made redundant! Great. I had two choices now. I could either cry non-stop and feel angry about the unfairness that happened to me or I could think about how I can turn this around. Fortunately I chose the latter option.

In around a week I found another job and after several admin positions I found a job that I got stuck in for two years... It was in a market research company. I had to call businesses to conduct all kinds of surveys. That was the worst job I've ever had, but it provided good money and I could choose my own hours. So I got very comfortable and you know what happens when you get too comfortable... You get stuck.

And that's not all. During this time I got stuck in a relationship that was going nowhere. I was with a person that was completely opposite to who I was and our love vanished as fast as it started. That time was really tough for me but I just couldn't find the courage to leave and start my life all over.

I saw that I was stuck but I kept promising to myself that I would someday change. After a year I realised that if I didn't change now, I would never do. So I started to create different businesses but then I would get bored and sabotage myself and then I would start all over again. I was really lost at that stage and didn't know what to do.

I was wondering if that's all life could offer since I couldn't find my purpose and I was really unhappy with my situation. So I started reading all kinds of self-help books, I went to different kinds of seminars and I began to gradually realise how I can turn my life around.

Within a year I completely got rid of fear, ended the relationship, became self employed and started to really enjoy my life. Friends started asking how I achieved that much in such short period of time so I helped them understand how I made it. My advice transformed their lives and they told about me to other people. I unexpectedly became the person that everyone asked for advice and soon it became my full time business.

So I created this website to provide advice because I didn't have enough time to help everyone although I really wanted to. There were some questions that I was asked regularly and because of that I created courses that solve such problems, such as how to lose weight and how to achieve goals.

I by no means consider myself to be guru or anything like that. I don't like the fact that gurus put themselves above others. The only reason that I have the title “success coach” is because that's the nearest title that describes what I do.

I'm really glad that now more and more people wake up to realise that psychologists and other people who finish universities to teach others how to live cannot help their clients. It's only when you go through the same experience will you be able to really understand people and help them.

We can all learn from each other because of different life experiences that we had. I know that I can awaken, empower and show people how to achieve their goals. But I'm sure you have a unique set of skills in an area that is absolutely priceless to some people.

So that's all about me. Thank you for reading this far. If you want to become empowered, discover your true purpose and add more depth to your life, I invite you to join my insider newsletter.
