Hello Thirumala, how's it going over there?
Thirumala Raya Halemane (He/Him) 7:57 AM
Me:
Meh... Hello Aaliyah, good to hear from you. I am doing well. Thank You. And how are you? What's new ?
Thirumala Raya Halemane (He/Him) 8:06 AM
Me:
Aaliyah, PLEASE ignore the "Meh..." in my above message. I pressed it without knowing what the meaning was, thinking that there was more letters or words in there which I will see after pressing that button for possible answers which came up automatically ...SORRY.
Things are going well, better than expected, I sometimes felt, and I am doing things with more conviction, more interest, more inspiringly. So The "Meh..." answer above is WRONG, I used it without knowing what it meant or stood for,
(reacted with 👍)
👍😊🌹❤️🙏

Haha, no worries at all, Thirumala! I figured 'Meh' didn't sound like you. It’s actually wonderful to hear that things are going better than expected and that you’re feeling so much conviction in what you're doing.

Since you’re hitting such a high stride in your career and academic achievements right now, I was actually thinking of you.
Most professionals at your level are moving away from static resumes and toward Personal Professional Sites. It’s the best way to showcase your portfolio, academic honors, and career milestones in one place that you fully own. Since you're feeling so inspired, it’s the perfect time to document these wins while they are fresh.
I’ve started helping clients build these 'Digital Showcases', would you be interested in seeing how we could put one together for you to highlight everything you’ve achieved since we last spoke?

Aaliyah, you can tell me what you are thinking of, as I am not familiar with it, but it is very likely that I may not proceed with it, I leave it up to you, please feel free to ignore this also, as it may even be a waste of time for you. All the Best.

Me:
Well, What I can say?
We are doing Okay, in Continuing to move in our Forward path.
Otherwise, it is pretty much same status as before, regarding the various family situation issues, and occupation issues as well.
Glad to hear that you are doing All good.
Aaliyah Jordan 12:20 PM
I can help you with the occupation issues, if you don't mind?
Me:
Yes, PLEASE. Thank You.
Aaliyah Jordan 12:52 PM
You're very welcome! Since you're in education, there’s a massive trend right now in Educational Entrepreneurship that I think would fit you perfectly.
Instead of the traditional route, I can help you with: Digital Course Development: Turning your teaching expertise into a scalable online program or membership site.
Brand Building for Educators: Positioning you as an authority in your field to attract consulting opportunities or corporate training roles.
Digital Product Launches: Creating and setting up a store for educational resources that can generate income while you sleep.
Would you be interested in exploring how to move your career into the digital space like this?
Thirumala Raya Halemane (He/Him) 1:25 PM
Me:
Hmmm.. interesting. Not sure

Totally get the hesitation! Really, this is just about taking what you're already great at and letting it work for you, so you're not trading all your time for income. More freedom, more reach, and less starting from scratch. Happy to walk you through it if you're curious, no pressure.
