Featured Interview With Raana Zia
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I had been in corporate finance for 20+ years successfully climbing the corporate ladder. In 2012, while I achieved my goal of becoming a CFO of a billion-dollar company, I felt a strong internal pull in my heart telling me I needed to be doing something else in my life. I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing, but I was determined to find out. I began searching for my purpose, a way to evolve my career, and greatly enhance my own life. I spent the next five years reading self-help books, going to seminars, talking to personal coaches, etc., gaining inspiration and building a belief I could do something different. The more I searched, the more curious I became on how the world worked and how I was able to manifest the good things in my life (career, family, home, vacations, etc). I was discovering pieces of wisdom that were life changing and profound from many different sources, but there wasn’t one book that brought it all together in a way that was direct and easy to understand. I was compelled to write this book in order to retain and share was I believe to be the most efficient and effective way to create what you truly desire in your heart.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
It took quite a bit of time for me to believe I could write a book. However, the moment I finally believed in myself, was the moment the words started to flow out of me. The chapter titles and page count came into my head immediately. I then began writing the content, and I did not stop until the book was completed. It took me only two months to write this book.
