    The £75 Breakdown That Became My Million-Pound Mission

    Money. Pressure. Identity. And the £75 moment that changed everything. In this raw and revealing first episode of Becoming Iconic, Shalah shares the untold story of how her business really began—not with confidence or clarity, but with panic, purpose, and the decision to stop just surviving. She opens up about growing up watching her parents work themselves to the bone, landing a six-figure corporate role that still didn’t lead to financial freedom, and the breaking point that led to her first £75 sale—what she now calls the beginning of her Million-Pound Mission. This episode is for the Muslim woman who knows she’s meant for more. For the one tired of choosing between career, motherhood, faith and wealth. For the woman quietly praying for a sign. This is your sign. You’ll walk away with a powerful reframe on purpose, wealth, and what it really means to build a business that answers another woman’s dua. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: ✨ The real reason Shalah started her business (and why it wasn’t purpose at first) ✨ How money fear shapes identity—and what shifts when you stop apologising for wanting more ✨ The £75 story that cracked everything open ✨ Why desperation repels dream clients—and what to do instead ✨ A new lens on rizq, purpose, and stepping into divine assignment ✨ The moment Shalah realised she wasn’t just building a business—she was building a movement Resources & Links: ➡️ Connect with Shalah on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/shalahakhtar/ ➡️ Come say salaam on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/browncorporatewomen/ ➡️ Join the Purpose Movement Mini-Mind (DM “PURPOSE”) ➡️ Explore ICONIC — the 12-month identity elevation & business mentorship (DM “ICONIC”) Loved this episode?
