Lightbulb moment 7: The power of changing your path to follow your purpose, with Asma Khan, founder of Darjeeling Express

Lightbulb moment 7: The power of changing your path to follow your purpose, with Asma Khan, founder of Darjeeling Express

By Holly Tucker MBE

Established and respected, Asma Khan was climbing a highly impressive career ladder in law, until she chose to address the dark hole she’d been feeling inside — later diagnosed as unfulfillment. 
There are so many reasons we find to not take risks, especially when it comes to our jobs aren’t there? Fears around judgement, money and uncertainty hold so many of us back from pursuing our dreams. 
Now, founder of the Darjeeling Express and globally renowned chef, Asma explains how she recognised her passion, and reignited the fire in her belly. Spoken with such entrepreneurial wisdom, Asma’s words and actions of bravery, exemplify how you can change your path and follow your dreams no matter what your age or level. 
Holly shares her own experiences with controlling the direction of her life, along with the pressures she too feels when it comes to achieving her business dreams. Holly’s advice is for anyone out there seeking the strength and determination needed to navigate their life compass.
This really is one of Holly’s very favourite Lightbulb Moments, and if there’s ever a phrase she’ll urge you to remember it’s Asma’s words — ‘Your power is not your dress size, it’s whose life you’ve changed’’. 
As one of ten very special episodes, Holly is also joined by Rachel Wilkins, founder of Dinky Artist and member of Dell’s Women's Entrepreneur Network (DWEN), who has shared her very own Lightbulb Moment, too. Find out more at dwen.com.
