Oftentimes, people wonder how some are able to maintain a full-time job as well as manage other successful businesses. Do you have to possess some supernatural powers? Though this may seem like a daunting feat, in this interview with business analyst and branding specialist Tami Adeleke (@takeoffwithtami), I discuss some strategies to achieve success in your professional and personal lives simultaneously as an IMG!

There is a seven step approach on the IMG Roadmap six week program, however, since this is not a one-size-fits-all, in order to benefit from the program, students are recommended to seek individualized coaching which is tailor-made to address specific needs.  To date, 300 students have benefitted from this IMG Roadmap program.

Here are some of the major roadblocks that IMG’s face:

  • The immigration process for non-immigrants in obtaining citizenship in the US

  • Academic roadblocks and competing with US graduates

  • Language barriers for those with first languages other than English

  • Various socioeconomic challenges.

Before visiting the coach, the following should be considered:

  • What are my goals, where do I have a deficiency and need the most help with

  • How do I maximize my time, what do I need to accomplish during this session

  • What solution can be implemented to resolve the problem?

The key to success in maintaining a balance between one's professional and personal life is to:

  • Delegate! Delegate! Delegate! Take advantage of the expertise that are available so that you can focus on what’s important

  • “Take ownership for what you don’t know and seek help on what you need to know!” 

  • Schedule and make the best of each waking hour, take the time to exercise so as to maintain a healthy body

  • Seek guidance and express gratitude to God.

Here are some of the reasons people may not succeed in their professional lives:

  • Personal, social and sometimes financial factors

  • The internal fear of success and the unwillingness to take risks 

  • Failure to realize that the onus is on you to make the investment in your personal development!
