We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Alisha West . We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Alisha below.

Alisha , appreciate you joining us today. If you’re open to it, can you talk to us about the best (or worst) investment you’ve made. What’s the backstory and the relevant context behind why you made the investment

The BEST investment that I’ve ever made *HANDS DOWN* was my investment into a mentor. I’ve always done things on my own. My first business was a personal trainer back in 2016. When covid happened, I transitioned into real estate and failed my way forward. In 2021, I decided that there MUST be more and decided to become INTENTIONAL with what I was listening to and watching. Being I spent the majority of my time in my car, I decided to download an app and start listening to motivational speeches and seminars. You could say I fell into a rabbit hole. While enjoying my fall into the hole of positivity, I ran across one of the greats by the name of Bob Proctor. From the moment I heard his voice and delivery, I was sold. The 7 minute video I listened to lead me into buying his books and downloading his content on Audible. In his book, “Change your paradigm, change your life” Bob mentions the importance of a mentor and how his mentors had a major contribution to his success. At that moment, I knew I needed to get a mentor. So I got a mentor by the name of Carter Cofield. It was my first and largest investment that I had ever made into personal development. That investment single handily changed my entire outlook on business, finances, opportunities, mindset, assets, and so much more. To this day I advise, if you are struggling in ANY field of your life, get a mentor. It is what sets the professionals apart from the amateurs.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers

My name is Alisha West and I AM THE abundance coach. While many have not heard that title before, allow me to explain. I teach high level entrepreneurs how to say goodbye to scarcity and hello to abundance. The beautiful thing about abundance is that it has a different definition for everyone. However, the bottom line is MORE. More love, more happiness, more money, more health, more confidence. I have written an Amazon best seller entitled, “From Unknown to Unstoppable, How to turn your suffering into Success.” Successfully ran a personal training business to then successfully transition into luxury real estate in which I still active. My primary goal for each of my clients is for them to step into THEIR abundance. Whether that is a healthier body, becoming better at sales to grow their income, learning how to communicate more effectively in their day to day relationships, or merely learning how to love themselves more, I am here to help and see themselves from a higher place. I am on a mission to help everyone see and understand that they are dissevering and UNSTOPPABLE.

We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?

When I initially started out on social media, I would just post pictures of workouts and my clients. Once I transitioned into real estate, I would simply post pictures of my closings with my clients and when I placed homes under contract. Then one day I was speaking to a business consultant who may be one of the wisest human beings I have ever met and he says to me, “You’re not adding any value to your audience.” Initially I was confused, then I understood, and then I IMMEDIATELY took action. My advice to anyone getting started are these 3 things:

#1: You’re better than you think you are. Stop being afraid.

#2: Tomorrow is not a better time than today. Once again, stop being afraid.

#3: Come from the place that this isn’t about you. It’s about THEM. Someone needs to hear what you have to say. Just for giggles I’ll say it again, stop being afraid.

Are there any books, videos, essays or other resources that have significantly impacted your management and entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy?

There are SO many wonderful books in this day and age. This is honestly a brutal question to have to answer…..however…. if there is a book that I had to pick to read over and over and over again, it would be “B.O.S.S. Moves” by Myron Golden. Remember when I said there was a human who is the wisest I’ve ever met? That person would be Myron Golden. Myron teaches business using Kingdom Principles and all I can say is you’re welcome.
