Today we’d like to introduce you to Azfar Imam.
Hi Azfar, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
It was in 2020 that COVID-19 affected every person in the world including me. I was working for a company full-time and then suddenly I was let go due to a lack of business. I was worried sitting at home wondering if the company would call me back or not. This experience made me realize that a job can go away quickly. My wife Sofia who is my partner in all my businesses told me one day about how you have a great mind and the experience that you gained in your job can be used to start your company. I was nervous at first, but she supported me about doing my own business. This made me think about how an entrepreneur can control their own destiny. From there I never looked back but rather gained more confidence to do something worthwhile. Now looking back, I feel very happy to have made the decision. Emotionally sometimes I feel my business is growing slowly, but I know it is a long journey. Last 4 years, we have made great strides. I feel my brand has evolved into more mature and the ideas I have gained every day have been fruitful in making my companies grow. I feel a client has a need for a unique service that you can help them in times of need. I started World Wide Access staffing because my recruiting past made me want to help people who need jobs. Also, in my prior job, I was a coordinator for a translation agency, and it also made me want to start an agency where we can help clients who cannot understand each other. Learning Alliance interpreting is my other business that I started after COVID-19. Both World Wide Access staffing and Learning Alliance interpreting were started keeping in mind that client satisfaction is the number one goal for my company. I feel if you are passionate about helping people they will come and stay with you. We believe in building relationship with clients. World Wide Access staffing provides not only a staffing solution but has a job portal for jobseekers and companies. Learning Alliance also has more range of services such as LMS platform where people can show their unique skills to others who may have an interest in learning from them. I believe this unique approach for both businesses is what excites me because I think once people see it, they will resonate with my company brand. Also solving people problems is my top priority and it makes me want to keep improving every day.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Honestly there are many challenges along the way. I often face challenges like funding, managing cash flow, finding customers, balancing work-life, managing time effectively, overcoming fear of failure all while potentially lacking experience in certain areas like marketing.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I have diverse work experience from recruitment, translation business along with working for Department of health in NY. It means I am able to handle all types of situations and excel in it.
How can people work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
If anybody wants to collaborate with me, they will find someone who is eager to work with each other. We will try to help someone or support them in any way if it is possible to do it.
