Student Spotlight: Sara & Hisham Khaki

Today I’m interviewing Sara and Hisham Khaki, a married couple who are previous clients of mine. Sara is the founding partner of Atlanta Divorce Law Group, which helps people make empowered choices for themselves and exit toxic marriages. Her firm’s success has allowed her to create adventures and support her family, including their three children, while challenging others in the community to do the same.

Hisham is the founder of ShiftSwap. Formerly a “corporate robot,” he climbed the corporate ladder year after year and felt drained—until he and his wife realized they wanted something different for their lives. That’s when Sara started her first law firm. Together they’ve achieved huge success by learning how to let go of hard work and competition, and go after their desires.

In this episode we discuss:

• Sara’s initial success strategy—“work harder, beat everyone, and compete with everything”—and how this approach left her feeling like a loser, frustrated, drained, not present, and able to support Hisham emotionally

• How Sara got coaching on her first law firm, but none of the technical steps helped her, because she was so unaware of the internal sabotage patterns running her mind

• How Sara broke all of her own patterns and instincts, and learned to have faith in MY faith in her

• Hisham’s experience attending my 2016 seminar and being mind-blown—especially when I asked him, “What do you want?”

• How culturally, most men have never been asked, “What do you want?”—and have never had an opportunity to build a vision for themselves (they were raised to follow what somebody else wants; and they can’t lead themselves or their own family)

• How I coached Sara and Hisham to create a unified vision—and how they knew it was a core value for their marriage to have adventures

Sara and Hisham’s story illustrates that you don’t need to work harder, compete, or try to beat the next guy—because THAT strategy only brings diminishing returns.

All you have to do is focus on what you desire and get in alignment with your vision and your purpose. God works through our desire. Following your desire opens up new doors and rocket-ships you to a totally different level. Everything you want comes with grace and ease.
