How did you get started in this business?

I started my journey in the realm of education and behavioral analysis out of a deep-seated passion for helping others, particularly children with special needs. My path began with my education, where I pursued degrees and certifications that equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary for this field.

How do you make money?

As a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), I earn a living by providing behavioral analysis services. This involves assessing, developing, and implementing behavior intervention plans for individuals, mainly children, to address various behavioral challenges and support their educational and personal development.

How long did it take for you to become profitable?

The concept of profitability is quite different in my line of work compared to traditional business ventures. My ‘profitability’ came in the form of professional fulfillment and positive outcomes for the children and families I worked with. This sense of achievement was something I experienced early on in my career, as soon as I began applying my skills and knowledge to make a tangible difference in people’s lives.

When you were starting out, was there ever a time you doubted it would work?

Certainly, there were times of doubt, especially when faced with challenging cases that required innovative solutions. However, my commitment to the children and families I serve, along with continuous learning and professional development, helped me overcome these doubts.
