Iyah Aguilar is a registered nurse, a former college instructor turned call center representative and then shifted to working from home as an ESL teacher in 2014 because she cannot find someone who can take care of her kids. Iyah had several experiences as a work-at-home mom - from being an ESL teacher to being a telemarketer, email support agent and now being a real estate VA, social media manager, and graphic designer. She loves the liberty of working from home where she doesn't need to be away from her kids anymore. As a certified NLP practitioner as well, she is passionate about helping and serving visionary entrepreneurs with their mission to help people improve their lives.
Iyah Aguilar believes that one of the most common failure-causing problems is lack of persistence. People fail not because they lack knowledge or talent but because they just quit. This puts us in a better place to learn, understand how to prevent it from happening again, and move forward to be better. She has faced a lot of struggles and self doubt in herself. While there may be unpleasant lessons that happen, But in the end she realized that the experience taught her something very meaningful in her life.There was also a point when she wanted to give up on her career and on her business but she always remembers what her parents have taught her before and that's what pushes her to continue.
