49# - Client Result → Raksha From Lacking Confidence and Doubting Herself to Creating £15K Months in Her Accounting Business
I’m back on the She Who Becomes Podcast after a busy February, and today I’m joined by my private 1:1 mentoring client, Raksha, founder of RH Accountant.
Raksha shares how she went from “just getting by” financially — feeling drained, shy and unconfident, hiding behind a logo and overthinking sales calls — to experiencing rapid growth after we did deep subconscious mindset work before strategy.
We talk about fear of being seen online, navigating negative comments, and how refining her clarity call structure reduced anxiety and increased conversions.
Raksha explains how combining identity shifts with consistent action led her to post daily, speak at events, receive two award nominations, onboard clients faster, and achieve a £15K month in December — putting her on track for six figures.
We also cover intentional work habits, business planning and forecasting, managing energy, protecting health, and why investing in coaching accelerates growth.

Hello, hello, hello everyone. Welcome back to the She Who Becomes Podcast. Thank you so much for listening in. So I haven't been on the podcast for a little while now as I was so busy with my iconic event that happened in February. And I've just been so insanely busy with client work as well.
But today I have an incredible guest with me Raksha, who is my one-to-one private mentoring client. I've been mentoring her since last summer and she has had extraordinary results in her business. So she's actually an accountant and she is someone who has been. Quite reserved, quite shy in nature and. So many women think that they need to be different to have a successful business, but actually RHA has shown us that she is an example of someone you don't have to change your personality to actually become successful in business.
And she recently had a 15 K month over December. She's on track to hit six figures in business this year. And when she came to me, she was. In her words just getting by. So she has had an extraordinary transformation in just a couple of months, and I'm just really excited to deep dive into this conversation today.
And of course the Rebirth Mastermind is currently open as well, so that's open for enrollment. We will leave the link in the show notes, and I'm also taking on some one-to-one clients from April onwards, which of course, RHA is a one-to-one client. So welcome rha. I was so excited to have you here.
[: [: [: [: [: [: [:It was stable enough to just get by in life.
[: [:Marketing this, marketing that, but I was just hitting that ceiling and not getting anywhere.
[: [: [:You could just turn up in the morning and serve your customers. And it didn't really matter about if you were having like a really bad day or if your confidence was taking a hit because it was just, you know, your brand didn't rely on you and your energy and your face to be out there. Mm-hmm. So like where was your like confidence, do you think back then?
[:Because they can probably hear that lack of confidence in my voice when I was trying to explain things to them. So it was a lot of those things. And I wasn't open to confidently have conversations with people about what I do and yeah, how I can support them straight away. So. My confidence was low, pretty low prior to joining the Mastermind.
[: [: [: [:But then. You've also gotta think you are doing this for you. That person on the internet that's gonna make that comment, they're not doing anything for their life and you've gotta do this for yourself. So I think that's kind of a shift that had to happen for me to kind of step away from what, what will people think of me to, I don't care what people will think.
[:It's such a, it's such a big area and I think you are right. I just think. People who normally give negative comments, like I watch YouTube a lot, and when I negative comments on YouTube are rife. And normally the person giving negative comments, never. It's like a faceless person. And I remember, I think it was LA last year or the year before when, Rishi Sun actually got elected as a Prime Minister, not to get too political. and literally I posted about it because obviously it was a big deal and you know, he was like the first man of color to ever be a prime minister. And I got this really horrible dm. I remember it's on my, in my grid somewhere last year I posted it, but it was saying some, he was like this guy that was obviously racist and he was like calling me like Asian, like how dare you Asian post this post and like how dare you like do this and that?
And like when I looked at his profile, it was just like a fake profile. And then I actually like used that to my advantage. I just. Screenshotted it all and put it all on Instagram so people could actually see that this kind of stuff does exist. And I think with like also with comments, you are right. You just ha you are.
There comes a point in life where you have to decide is the judgment of others or your mission, or your vision and your brand more important. Because I don't know, anyone sat there commenting negatively on people's posts where they're actually doing something good with their life, like mm-hmm. It's okay to have disagreements.
You know, I've put posts out in the past where. People don't agree with me. You know, when the Queen died, I used to be a big queen fan. Obviously with everything going on right now, I'm not such a royalist. But I remember people like in the comments jumping in, being like, how dare you share this? She was part of colonialism, you know, you should be ashamed because you know, India did this and that, and I was just like, I just like the queen.
And you know, it was fine. But I think if people are actually going out their way to be. Then that says a lot about them, but obviously, you know, in our first few sessions we like did the deep subconscious work together. To help you shift your confidence, your self-belief. Can you, obviously we won't go into detail what we exactly did.
That's what I do with my clients. I do a lot of, I do timeline therapy with my clients and we do energy clearing, but we didn't actually work on strategy Right. With, for the first few sessions that we did together. So how did you find that process of like that deep subconscious work that we did together?
[:So I think for me, the fact when we had our first clarity call, your energy just came to me and I was like, that's definitely someone I need to work with and I need to be around. And when we did our, like our subconscious mindset work. It shifted who I was before we started working on other things.
So from, I mean, quite instantly my energy started shifting, which was crazy. Like it was really crazy how quickly things shifted for me. But yeah, I think it's one of the things that really you need to focus on because your mindset is what's gonna get you through anything.
[:And this is why, like you said, people just focus on the 5%, which is the conscious mind, which is strategy if you think about it, is just action.
[: [:I, that's what I help my clients with. But the thing is, if you don't work on that 95%. Nothing is ever gonna shift because it's like the underlying current that's driving your behavior, your decisions, your thought patterns. Your identity. And, and I do remember actually with you, it was pretty instant. Like we did a couple of sessions and I think you hadn't posted on social media for so long and you like literally it'd been like a long time, right?
I think I remember. And you just started posting really quickly.
[:And I remember from our first call. I started posting like every single day without even thinking I just scheduled it and it's done. And I still do that. I just schedule it. Once it's there, it's done. I don't have to think about it anymore.
[:You know, I've always been a massive believer in, you know, anything woo ru, obviously energy. I'm really big on energy and attracting and abundance, and I genuinely think, obviously action is really important. Like I am a business strategist. I do love marketing, but at the end of the day. Your energy can just draw in opportunities like, and you sometimes I see a lot of people really overworking.
Mm-hmm. Like I see this with, you know, influencers that I've worked in in the past. They're constantly like churning out content posting constantly, but nothing is actually happening in their business. And that's because. That frequency isn't there. They haven't done the inner work. I genuinely think, and I've seen this with you, so many of my clients myself, when you shift that vibration and that energy, things just start coming to you like out of nowhere.
It's like, oh my God, how is this happening? You know? And that's what happened with you, right? Like things were just landing in your lap. Can you just speak, speak into that a little bit?
[: [: [:I have people on the phone, okay, we wanna sign with you. What do we need to do?
[: [: [:That is, you know, so many people wanna be in that position. But we also, as well as doing the subconscious work, we also worked on your clarity call structure, didn't we, without giving away too much detail, but that's something that I'm also really hot on with my clients is like, and I spoke about it in my free workshops this week.
What does your clarity call structure look like? Because I remember. I can't remember the exact details of it, but that's something we spoke about, wasn't it? Like how, how are you structuring your clarity calls?
[:I have, I had no clue what they wanted to talk about. what they're looking for. So I was never able to be prepared to have that conversation, which would add a lot more of the anxiety and the overthinking prior to having a call. We worked on that and we've built a clarity call where I then have the clarification of what they're looking for before I actually speak to them.
So that really helped in shifting that kind of the calls I take and knowing exactly what I'm dealing with prior to taking that call.
[:You were at my event a few weeks ago, you spoke on our panel client panel, and. The confidence has so shifted in you. It's, it's been incredible and I just think like if anyone's out there thinking, oh my God, like can I actually do this? Is it gonna work for me? Like, what would you say to them if they're like really struggling with their confidence right now?
[: [: [:If you are sitting back there and you are thinking, I'm not good enough, I'm not able to do this, I'm not smart enough, it's gonna keep holding you back. Because everyone around you may think that you are good enough to do this unless you yourself believe it, it's not gonna happen.
[:Like I'm not good enough, and the self belief piece, and I just think, you know, I spoke about this at my event, but I think I'm not good. It's just a story we tell ourselves.
[:But you are stuck in that mindset of, if this hasn't happened, I'm not good enough. If this hasn't happened in my life, I'm not good enough. And. It's because of the culture that we're in. Because a lot of the times in South Asian culture, you always ask those questions, when are you getting married? When are you doing this?
When are you doing that? And it makes you feel like you're not good enough in so many aspects of your life.
[: [: [:If you go onto Instagram, it can instant, and I've had to really limit my usage now. Like I'm literally deleting the app, scheduling the posts, and doing the stories and kind of getting off really, because that can also feel like I'm not good enough. Mm-hmm. Like these, you know, there's al, the thing is there's always gonna be someone ahead of you, like.
If you're comparing, but also the other thing is like, who cares? Yeah. Like who genuinely cares if you are not married at like 35? Who actually cares if you haven't had children by 40? It's just these crazy standards that, especially with women like. People don't say that to men.
[: [:It's always the woman.
[: [: [: [:In terms of speaking about like what you do, right, and I think someone said, mm-hmm. Did someone say to you, just remind us what it was like? Someone said, oh, how, how's it all going? Or how's your job going? Just, just remind us.
[:sometimes they thought it was just a side thing and I was working full time.like my uncle and aunt didn't even know I had a business.
[: [: [: [:But that's not the reality of it. But when I look back, it's all to do with who I was and how I was showing up. Now I am showing up as a business owner and a CEO of my business and my life. And that comes across more with how I have my conversations with everyone.
[:It's the energy that you emanate because that is just so important. And you know, my experience has been the same as well, like as soon as you. Start kind of second guessing yourself or not being confident in sharing what you do. Mm-hmm. It, it seeps into everything else, you know? Yeah. And how people perceive you.
And not that that matters, but I think it matters as in you what you, you want to do it for yourself.
[: [: [: [:I think it's when we are making money in our business, it is a direct con relation to how we feel. You know, you'll never find someone who's. Super, super, super under confident, not working on their mindset and you know, having huge income months, it always has to be with that self-belief. Yeah. and obviously you are on track to hit six figures this year, which is incredible.
So is there anything else you feel like that changed internally for you to really, really step up in your business? Anything else?
[:Actually taking the steps after doing that mindset work to kind of get myself out there. Because if I had done the mindset work and then not taken the rest of the steps, I probably wouldn't have hit that 15 K month in December and I wouldn't be on track for the six figures this year. So it is, it's a combination of both that you've got to really put into it.
[:Because if you don't embody the identity of someone who is successful before they are successful
[: [:You, you just won't be able to reach the next level. Mm-hmm. And like, you know, when, when you are doing big things in your business structure, like back then you were as well, like posting on social media for the, you know, a, a first time or nominating yourself for awards or you know, all of the things that you've done.
Like you did a speaking, you've done two speaking engagements already and we're only into February, which is amazing. And I know that's something that you are really gonna build on this year. Like I know with a lot of female founders what comes up is this like real feeling of uncomfortableness, right? So I think even for my panel at my event, like you said, you're a bit nervous or a bit scared, but obviously you just didn't let that fear take over and it was okay if you're a bit nervous and scared.
But like is there something that you feel like, like how do you manage that? Because I think a lot of women. They're like, oh, no, I'm, I'm just gonna leave it now. I'm not gonna do it. I'm just gonna put it off. Like that can wait. Like, in those moments, it's like a sliding door moment, isn't it? Mm-hmm. Like, it's like you can either put, like, choose the path of your greatness or you can just hold back another time.
So just talk to me about that shift. Like is there something that you do or do you just not really overthink it? Like how does that work for you?
[:Should I not? But I think for me, the bigger thing that I always look at is, what am I doing this for? If I stop myself today, what's, what is it gonna stop in the future? It's gonna be a downward hill again. To what I've worked so hard for, to then just go backwards and that's not something I want. So I think one of the things that I do is I always say to myself, if I don't do this today, what's gonna happen tomorrow?
What's gonna happen for my long-term vision?
[: [:And if it's a yes, then I'm doing it. If the future me is not gonna thank myself, then I'm not gonna do it.
[: [:You wanna, you've gotta take that risk then and do it just to get where you wanna be.
[:Like what is her identity? What is her identity plan? 'cause this is the thing like. A lot of people, they do don't have that clarity also on their vision, right. So they don't actually know where they're going. I think a lot of, unfortunately, female founders can get into this very casual attitude of like, and it's fine, you know, but you know, what is my vision?
What am I doing today? And it's, and I think sometimes people, especially women, are scared to go after their vision, right? Yeah. Like they're actually scared, like, can you speak a little bit into that?
[: [: [:That's what we're built for. But the fear that you feel, there's something I heard the other day. The reason that you feel the fear is because the future, you already has it, and you need to push through that fear and go for it. So, don't get me wrong, I feel the fear I'm always, it's up and down, you know?
I fear that what happens if I don't get something, but I am determined enough to push through that and just try my best. Because the truth is obviously I don't have kids right now. One day, God willing, if I do, I want them to look at me and say, my mom built something amazing, and that's what I wanna do.
[: [: [:Mm-hmm. But I think you can't let it dominate you. Yeah. and I think it, the, an analogy that I really love is, is it gonna be the driver or is it just gonna be a passenger in the backseat? Just quietly saying something. And I think the work that we've done together has really helped you overcome so much of that fear and the identity work that we've done that has Right, really shifted into in your life.
Complete mindset has changed now, which is amazing. So talking about action. Like I remember, I think it was in January, we had one of our mentoring calls and we were speaking about actually taking action and showing up for yourself. and, and I think this is another thing, I dunno whether women are just really overwhelmed, really distracted.
Like, what would you say about like your work ethic and the action that you've been taking? Because I think a lot of people these days, and I think we've got social media to blame for it. They just think they can work like two hours and earn, you know, six figures in business. Like, they genuinely think that I've, I've heard that actually.
what would you say about your work ethic and the action piece that has allowed you to really uplevel this year and last year?
[: [: [:That's, you are not gonna build anything for just working two hours. You've really got to put in the hours, but you've gotta plan your day from getting your, for me, it's getting my client work done during X hours, then taking time away and then looking at my marketing side, working on other things in the evening or the weekends.
I know a lot of people are like, oh, the weekend I wanna relax. When you've got a vision weekend, evening, it doesn't matter. If you've got that vision and you really want it, you are gonna have to put in that time throughout to kind of get it. And it's having that action plan, having that business plan. So we had spoken about this.
I have done a business plan. This is my second year doing a business plan. Actually,
[: [:What do I need to change to get there? But your work ethic has to be, this is what I want and I will put in my energy and effort to get there. You can't build something on two hours a day. You just can't.
[: [: [: [:You need to really drill into all those things so that you can push forward. So for me, it's now drilling into is this client profitable? If you're not a profitable client, you need to shift away from me.
[:I did put in, like, I've been an entrepreneur for 10 years, right. It was 10 years last year. And for me, like I, sometimes I do work evenings, but I, I try not to work on Saturdays, but I do sometimes work on Sundays, you know, like we had on our rent in February, I had to work a Sunday and last year actually, because when we had all the family deaths and everything, there were times where.
Like my business last year, I think it could have just collapsed. You know, we just went through so much like the family deaths, you know, some health stuff, like everything. It genuine. I think if it was anyone else, I don't wanna toot my horn, but it would've genuinely just collapsed. Like there's no way. I think other people would've been able to.
Do it. And we had an amazing year, but I think part of that was when I had to take time out. So like, you know, when I was like grieving for like a week in my room, just crying, you know, it, it's like, okay, I need to make that time back now. Like how am I gonna make that time back? Whereas I think sometimes, and I know it's individual and bad things happen in life and no, no one gets to escape, like grief and challenges.
But I think it's also really important, like how you get back up and like how you can put in the hours. So like I did have to work weekends. I did have to work Sundays and, and I think like even I was speaking to my mentor about this, like business is in seasons, so you are in like build phase now, right?
You are like, let's just build this baby up. Like let's just go for it. and there will be times, I'm sure where you can. You know, like if you have a family and like there is other things that come into your life, you can take a bit of a back step. But I think in that initial phase that you are in now, it's all about build, build, build.
That's so important. How would you say then, because this has always been, and I think this is something that I do need to work on full disclosure this year.limiting belief that I have. So I, I can't work evenings unless I've got like client calls that like energize me. I'm there, like, I don't mind at all.
but I do struggle with like blue light at night. Maybe it's just 'cause I've got a little bit older. and it like disrupts my sleep and like my sleep is so important to me now. Like I'm just so onto like optimizing my sleep. Like, how do you like, manage, like you don't burn out because you, you look like you've got, you are very busy, you've got loads of clients as well.
You always look amazing fresh faced. You do not look like a stressed burnout woman. So like how do you manage that?
[: [: [:So now I am much more productive in the evenings and nights.
[: [: [: [:In the evenings I am, the creative side starts flowing where I can think about. The content I wanna do and things like that. So I'm now optimizing my days in that way where I am using my times to do the tasks that are feeling more productive at. So I think one of the things that people need to think about is you need to look at yourself and what feels right for your productive levels.
If you are someone that's an early morning person, and that's when you are most productive with your work and your client work. Do your client work then, and then later on in the day you can sit back while you are relaxing and work on some content bits and things like that. Marketing strategy and all of those other things.
And you know, book in your client calls or clarity calls in the afternoon where you know, you don't have to use too much energy for it.
[: [: [:Yeah, because I remember you used to say to me, you got used to get up early and then like go to the gym, didn't you?
[: [: [:Now I don't need to worry about anybody else, it's just me. I can do what I want when I want. No stresses. I think that's a big shift for me as well. Not having any other stresses going on in my life, just me and my business, and. Yeah, there's other things also, but that's a different part of it.
[:And do you, how do you take care of yourself? Because for me, and I completely agree, by the way, just going back to the energy part, I always say to my clients as well, like, maximize your energy so that I'm the complete opposite to you. I'm, I do my creative work in the morning, like in the mornings I'm like.
ity calls, they start at like:Know. For example, in our business we have week K and week B, so week K, we do like our creative work. Like there's no calls in the diary, there's literally, it's just white space. and then week B is when we are doing like the client work, the client calls, so that basically. You are optimizing because otherwise, like if you have CL, for me anyway, I have my client calls on a Wednesday and Thursday.
Unless it's like, you know, this week it's launch week. I know we've got a call later, so we have to move it to a Friday. Normally a don't take calls or if it was like the event going on in January. So I think you have to have a schedule that really supports you and your energy and you are so right there because otherwise.
If you, for example, have got, you know, client calls all year round every day, that's like very scattered, fractured energy and we all know that multitasking doesn't work. Like there's so much research on like switching from one task to the other. So that's why it's so good to have days. Where things are like grouped together.
So for example, we've got our call today, this e this afternoon, and I group my client calls together. 'cause then you get ready, once you are in that energy, like you can get going where there's like, some days I just need to do like deep work, like think about my marketing, think about podcasts, big vision.
So you have to group it that way, which I think is so important. And then what would you say in terms of looking out after yourself rupture? Because obviously you are working a lot right? So you are like obviously not burning out. Like what do you think's helping you with that, do you think?
[: [: [: [: [: [: [:Otherwise, my hormones are just gonna drain me out completely. So I think with that, you've got to find a balance that works for you. But one of the key things is making sure you are eating, you are fueling your body with the right food. If you are eating junk food, you're not gonna be fueled to do the work that do.
Yeah. And getting out, getting out for fresh air, getting out for exercise, finding a way that you can de-stress yourself, whether that's going to the gym or going for a walk. For me, it's going and lifting weights. That helps me de-stress. And I'm able to kind of get out of my head for that moment and let it all out and stay on top of everything that I'm doing.
[:Down black Americanos on an empty stomach, God knows what I was doing. Like it was so bad for my health and me. but yeah, I think that's so important. And do you take like breaks as well? Like do you take breaks as in, do you always work every weekend? Like how does that look like for you?
[:I will see how I feel and I'll see what. Week is like, so if I've got something really urgent that needs to be done for a client, then I will obviously work on a Saturday or Sunday. if I don't have anything urgent, I may just do a bit of marketing stuff or I may just relax for the weekend. So it is not a constant every single day, seven days a week, I'm working.
Yeah. I balance it out based on how I'm feeling. What, what is on my task to get done as well. So I think that's one of the big things people need to look at is you don't wanna be, keep going every single day 'cause you will ban out.
[: [:So if you know during the week on a Wednesday you are not feeling great and you want the day off, that's fine. Just make it up on the Saturday or the Sunday.
[: [: , like nine to: [:I think for me that energy really served me well. 'cause it, I got my wedding plan in business to a really good level with that energy. But at some point, especially as a woman, especially for the, those of us that are in the, our thirties and forties, that like hormones is a thing. And I genuinely see like so many, especially like late 20 year olds, like I, I mentor a few of them and I've just seen people in general.
They have got that go, go, go energy and like, I don't think they're looking after themselves and it's like that then catches up with you at some point. Like it definitely caught up with me and I think that you are right, like we should be really, you know, there's cycles thinking now and planning. I try and plan my work around my cycle because mm-hmm.
If I'm on coming onto my period, or like a few days before, I'm, I just cry. Like I'm just one of those people. Now, I will literally cry at like East Enders, you know, there's the viral monkey punch going viral now, and I'm like, oh my God. Like. You have to as a woman, and I think that's a great thing about business.
Like we get to just, I think so many people think, oh no, we can't do it that way. But you can, like, you can make provisions to, and I know if, if it's, if you've got bricks and mortar businesses a bit different, but especially if you're working online, you get to decide what you want to do. It doesn't have to be this rigid thing, and you don't have to be feeling guilty if you took a day off it, it's okay, you know?
[: [:So rha, oh my God, this, this conversation went so, so quickly. So I have just got two questions for you. So why do you think investments are important in your business? Because obviously we are doing one-to-one together. We have done one-to-one together for nearly six months. You've obviously invested in yourself.
Why do you think investing in your business is so important?
[:So when you're building a business, you have to do the same thing. There comes to a point where when you are trying to do it on your own. You're not, you hit that ceiling and you don't know what else to do. So getting that additional support and investing into the Mastermind or coaching helped me kind of step away and get the advice and support I needed, which I was never gonna be able to give to myself because I don't have all that knowledge myself.
So there's no harm in ever saying. I need help. I need support, and going to someone that knows more about business and getting that support because that will actually help you just level up.
[:Changes. And energetically you're saying to yourself, I'm stepping up and I'm gonna do the work to make this happen. I think it's so important. So if anyone is sitting on the fence for one-to-one mentoring or the Mastermind, what would you say to them?
[:another year again, or do you want to see yourself grow? And if you really want to see yourself grow and you really want your vision to come to life, then you need to invest into coaching or mastermind to get where you wanna be because you can't do it on your own.
[: [: [:So thank you so much Raksha for that. So where can everyone connect with you?
[: [:, this has been such a wonderful, wonderful conversation and it's actually been really inspiring for myself as well.
m just so excited to see what: [: [:I don't want to cry. Thank you so much. Well everyone, we will catch up with you all soon. The Rebirth Mastermind is open for enrollment for a very limited time. We will pop the details in the show notes, or you can DM me the word Mastermind on Instagram. I'm on Shand dot Kyra mentor, and also I am taking one one-to-one clients from April.
And if you would like to book in a call for any of those, we will leave the links in the show notes. And you can DM me the word call on Instagram. Thank you so much.
