Short version: 

I help solopreneurs sell and scale with improved offers and system building frameworks.

Long version:

In 2015, I worked in a hospital as a pharmacy tech. I was underpaid, overworked, and barely scrapping by... even with a 4 year college degree.

At the end of 2015, I told myself "enough is enough."

I quit. Which was risky, given I had 0 savings and 0 plan. I started freelancing, beginning with photography, then content writing. 

From 2016 to summer 2018 I worked for myself, before burning out and returning to corporate. I need a reset, and to determine better systems for entrepreneurship moving forward.

So between the years of 2018 and 2021 I was promoted 3 different times, from advisor → senior banker → sales trainer → wealth and small business consulting.

I quit my consulting job in the banking industry in 2021 to pursue a job in financial analytics for the healthcare startup, MainStreet Family Care. During this time I also began an accelerated MBA program (graduating in August 2022).

At the time I began my career in financial analytics, I launched my consulting practice, where I help service-based businesses with financial reporting, operations, budgeting, and forecasting.

To recap, In 2021 I made some massive moves:

- Shifted to a 9-5 in financial analytics
- Launched my operations & consulting firm
- Started my MBA program (graduating in August 2022)

I still operate my consulting business helping service-based companies with financial reporting and analysis.

But I also have taken all of my skills and knowledge from entrpreneurship... and launched my latest company in 2024: Coffee Shop Nation (CSN)

Your Brand Is Talking, But Is It Saying the Right Thing? 🤔

Most CEOs have incredible stories, strong businesses, and bold visions.

But here’s the truth, if your brand positioning isn’t clear, your message blends in instead of standing out.

That’s where I step in. 

I’m Asma Rafat, a Brand Positioning Expert & Strategist helping busy CEOs transform their online presence into a powerful client-attracting machine, without spending hours creating content or chasing leads.

After 3+ years of helping CEOs and agencies strengthen their LinkedIn presence, I use a proven 4-step framework that builds authority and visibility strategically.

Here’s how I help you stand out 👇

👉 Step 1: Brand Clarity & Positioning

I uncover your unique value, define your niche, and craft a positioning strategy that communicates your strengths clearly to your target audience.

👉 Step 2: Profile Optimization

Your profile becomes your digital storefront.

I optimize it to reflect your expertise, credibility, and attract high-value clients effortlessly.

👉 Step 3: Content Strategy & Social Media Management

From storytelling posts to engaging visuals

I create, manage, and schedule content that aligns with your brand voice and drives consistent visibility.

👉 Step 4: Strategic Community Engagement

No more “post and disappear.” 

I engage with the right audience, nurture connections, and turn conversations into qualified leads.

The result?

A brand that works while you focus on scaling your business.
