In this episode of GOAT Conversations, entrepreneur and business strategist Afnan Khalifa shares the mindset and decisions that transformed her life—from working multiple jobs while attending college to building a multi-million-dollar business helping entrepreneurs and creators scale online.

Afnan opens up about growing up in Saudi Arabia, moving to Canada at 18, working as a Starbucks barista and waitress to support herself, and why learning sales completely changed her future. She also explains why she believes every woman should have her own income, how to overcome fear, embrace ambition, and build lasting financial freedom.

In this interview, we discuss:

Why every woman should have her own money
Going from waitress to entrepreneur
Making $18,000 in her first month in sales
The importance of financial independence
Why sales is the highest-income skill
Building wealth through social media
Confidence, ambition and overcoming fear
Why being "too much" became her greatest strength
Investing in women-led businesses
The mindset required to build lasting success
