1/17/2015 – Profile Description on The Aziza Group web page
Aziza she left her corporate job because fellow executives were trashing millennials.
“My a-ha moment came while in a meeting with fellow executives where the topic was “Why won’t the
young-ones do what we tell them, exactly how we want?” This meeting was basically a Millie trashing
session and I was not going to let that happen! I decided right then and there that this trend of Millie-
bashing behind closed doors of an organization could be combated by good old fashioned coaching! After
spending over 10 years as a Training Director in the corporate world, I turned in my suits and blackberry
and exchanged them for flirty dresses and a laptop on the go! And thus, The Aziza Group was born!!”

9/11/2015 – Midnight Millionaire Club Home Page Content
You’re an innovative entrepreneur. You’re resourceful and unconventional. You want to impact lives while
living the life that would make Carrie Bradshaw jealous. You’re bootstrapping your way to a successful biz
and you want to get the best return on your investments. You want success by your own rules. But you’re
finding that it’s not easy. There’s so much to learn about building your biz and making it sustainable.
There’s always some new method, process, or system to try. It just seems a bit overwhelming. I get it—
was there and now, I have a multi-million dollar empire…and you can too! How? By learning how to
become a Midnight Millionaire…“
“Hey there, I’m Amber. Millennial. Entrepreneur. Creator. Oprah Evangelist.
I love shoes, shoe shopping, and building amazing businesses while rocking awesome shoes!
Notes and Sources for Amber Aziza Investigative Article
I’m obsessed with helping Millennial Entrepreneurs (anyone born between 1981 and 2001) realize that
their dreams of a thriving business and a lifestyle that would make Carrie Bradshaw jealous doesn’t have
to be so damn hard! I am devoted to coaching Millennial Entrepreneurs to a happier, wealthier, more
extraordinary existence! I’m a bit of an Entrepreneur rebel. I’ve always done things differently; if a guru
said go left, I was the one going right! But it worked for me- I built and sold a successful consulting and
coaching biz all before I turned 30! You see, after spending 10 years as a Training Executive in the
corporate world, I realized that working 60+ hours every week only to go home with the same pay while
making someone else more and more money just made no sense! It was like being in a rat race where no
one is the winner!”
Access to 9 Midnight Millionaire Mentors, women who have built their empires into major multi-figure
successes and are sharing their one-of-a-kind secrets, tips, and tricks each month. These moguls are in
the top tier of their fields. Let’s put it this way, if you were to hire each individually, you would pay over
$23,000.00 per month!

10/12/2015 – Podcast Interview on WhoRYou Marketing TV - Millennial Millionaire Amber
Aziza tells all
Story of quitting (03:30) - Got to executive level. Executive since 22. Realized only woman, only person of
color, youngest by 30-35 years. Say huge disconnect between Millennials and Executives. Saw a gap she
could fill.
Story of Selling (05:00 - 12:00) - Says the COO of the company that acquired The Aziza Group saw her
post a bunch of stuff about millennials on LinkedIn then reached out to her about signing a contract to
work with her. Then one week later COO decided that he no longer wanted to contract with her but
wanted her to come on as a full time employee. Weird back and forth. COO declined to contract with her
but two weeks later her lawyer received an intent to purchase. Had a time of 11 folks that worked for her.
She said no the first time. She said lawyer reached out her to her again. They made a second offer. She
had meeting with mentor (female) who told her to take offer if it’s at a certain amount. Said she
restructured business and gave her team ownership percentage in the event a third offer would occur.
Third offer came in and she said condition was to make sure her team was kept for a year. They agreed.
After the sale, one of her friends said, “you know what you’re doing, just be a business coach.” That’s
how aSquaredCoach was born.

Aziza’s Accomplice
Fabiola Giordani – Met Aziza’ in Marie Forleo’s B-School in March 2014. Has been featured in many of
Aziza’s programs. Has created and designed the bulk of Aziza’s earlier webpages, as early as The
Midnight Millionaire website. Promotes the idea that you can and should make more than $100k per
month.
Her story:
“I show my clients how to ditch the launch roller coaster and make the shift to the evergreen marketing
model (aka marketing automation) so their income skyrockets (I'm talking consistent $40k+ months)
while they're also working less and enjoying more freedom. I know you’re ready for a business model
that has predictable results, sustainability and you're done working around the clock and feeling burnt
out. I use to be just like you I hustled hard for too long in my business, 10+ clients at a time, back to back
launches and 14-hour days… every single day. I was basically married to my laptop just to make 6-
figures. I hit my breaking point and committed to hustling less and started to implement an evergreen
marketing system in my business and less than 10 months later I made $500k in income.
After 6+ years of helping hundreds of women entrepreneurs, this isn't my first rodeo.”
