life by Design
"Most people are not living the life they chose. They are living the life that happened to them."

For over seven years I stood in front of 600 students a week as a UK qualified secondary school teacher, watching young people navigate the earliest versions of questions that would follow them into adulthood. Questions about identity, worth, belonging and purpose.


After teaching I built a retail business from nothing that turned over six figures in its first year. I travelled extensively, including a sabbatical year in Canada that changed the direction of my life in ways I am still building from. I completed the Elite Mentorship Forum and went on to earn Elite Mentorship Trainer status.


I have spoken on personal growth and self-development across the UK, the United States, Canada and Zanzibar, and have delivered my own series of talks on multiple occasions.


Through the Self Mastery Network, a coaching and mentorship community I co-founded, I personally mentored over 40 individuals across three cohorts, working with people from the UK, Europe, the United States, Canada and the Middle East. The youngest was 18. The oldest was 85.


None of this started as a brand. It started in 2007 with a decision, a deliberate, uncomfortable choice to build our family life around what we actually valued rather than what made sense to everyone else. We chose to live in a part of the country where almost nobody who looked like us lived, where almost nobody shared our background, and where the path forward had to be created rather than followed. That chapter, including becoming the first person of my background to teach in that county's secondary school system, was covered by the Times Educational Supplement and emel magazine. It was not pioneering for the sake of it. It was simply what happens when you decide to live by design rather than by default, long before you have a name for it.


As featured in: Times Educational Supplement  ·  emel magazine


Married for nearly 24 years and a father of three daughters. Currently based in North Africa, building Life by Design while living the principles I write about.


DECIDE IT. DESIGN IT. LIVE IT.

How it works.

Every step is designed to meet you exactly where you are. You choose how far you go.

01

Start by getting clear

Download the free Clarity Check. Seven pages, three dimensions, one question that most people spend a lifetime avoiding. No cost, no catch, no performance required.

02

Understand the patterns

The Clarity Guide and the tools that follow show you why you are where you are. Not as a diagnosis, but as a map. Built on the neuroscience of how patterns form and how they change.

03

Design your life deliberately

When you are ready to work directly, a one to one Clarity Session brings everything into focus. Ninety minutes, real questions, and a clear next step that is actually yours.

Start with the free Clarity Check

From the first step to a life by Design

Each stage builds on the last. Select any stage to explore what it involves and what you leave with.

Stage 01, always free
The Clarity Check
A short, searching self-assessment that asks the questions most people spend years avoiding. The first honest look at where you actually are across three areas of your life. No obligation, no pressure, no sales call.
Download free
What you leave with
A clear, written picture of where you are right now and what deserves your attention first. The kind of clarity most people take months to reach on their own.
The natural next step
Download it, spend time with it honestly, and when you are ready, book your free Next Chapter Call.
Stage 02, free, no pitch, no pressure
The Next Chapter Call
A free 30-minute conversation to find out whether working together is the right fit. This is not a sales call. Mubeen will ask you a few real questions about where you are and where you want to be. You leave with at least one clear thought you did not arrive with.
Book your free call
What you leave with
Clarity on whether this is the right next step for you. If it feels right for both of us, we discuss which programme fits where you are. If it does not, that is completely fine.
No obligation
Nothing is expected and nothing is sold in this conversation. It exists purely to find out whether there is a genuine fit on both sides.
Stage 03, one 90-minute session
The Clarity Session
One 90-minute conversation that goes past the surface version of your situation to what is genuinely going on, what you actually want, and what has been sitting between the two. The real why beneath the stated one.
Explore the Clarity Session
What you leave with
Your Clarity Map, delivered within 72 hours. A written document setting out where you are, what you actually want, what has been in the way, and the one concrete thing to do next.
A note on availability
A limited number of founding client spaces are available at a reduced rate. Once those spaces are filled, the standard rate applies.
Stage 04, six weeks of focused work
Foundations
Six weeks of focused, one-to-one work built directly on your Clarity Session. One 90-minute opening session shapes a path around what is actually true for you. Two 60-minute follow-up sessions keep you accountable as life happens. Bounded email support so you are never carrying it alone.
Explore Foundations
What you leave with
Your Foundations Plan, a document that tracks your actual six weeks and the real progress made within them. Not the aspirational plan from day one, but the one that reflects what actually happened.
Includes your Clarity Session
If you are starting here, your Clarity Session is bundled as the opening step. It is not skipped, simply included as the beginning of the journey.
Stage 05, three months, Foundations graduates only
Transformation
Three months of deeper, sustained work for those who have completed Foundations and are ready to go further. Not just what you do, but who you are becoming. Three in-depth monthly sessions and two shorter check-ins give this level of change the space it actually needs.
Explore Transformation
What you leave with
Your own practice, built in your own words, for carrying this forward without needing anyone to hold the structure for you. By the end, you are not following a plan someone else built. You have built your own way of continuing.
Open to Foundations graduates only
This level of change only holds for people who have already proven to themselves they can do the work. Foundations is the prerequisite, and it is not negotiable.
A short, searching self-assessment that asks the questions most people spend years avoiding. The first honest look at where you actually are across three areas of your life.
What you leave with
A clear picture of where you are and what needs attention first.

Words that matter.

It is rare to meet someone who walks his talk in every area of life. I have witnessed him being both vulnerable and authentic, demonstrating a clear empathy and an infinite capacity of care and understanding for all others. A dedicated, balanced and true gentleman.

What People Say

Words from those who know.

“Mubeen taught me Ethics and Philosophy throughout secondary school. His teachings were the first that broadened my ideas of how I think about the world and made me think about things outside of the ordinary. He was a teacher who truly inspired me to study something I was passionate about which helped me form a path for myself after my studies. I guarantee you will benefit from his teaching skills.”
“Mubeen’s humble yet genuinely authentic, respectful and truly caring character has made it an absolute pleasure to work and study alongside. He has such amazingly deep insight and knowledge with the patience and presence that makes him perfectly suited to help guide people through their personal transformations. I am glad to be able to have him in my peer group and on hand as someone to seek advice from.”
“I trained alongside Mubeen on a 6 month personal growth and trainer course. He is passionate and inspiring in what he does and delivers. He is more than willing to help you along your journey. If you believe in yourself as much as Mubeen will believe in you, you will go far. If you want a good teacher and mentor you will not go wrong with Mubeen.”
“I can truly recommend anyone to work with Mubeen. His warm hearted personality, his presence, high consciousness and wisdoms are profound and will help anyone to transform and become a better version of themselves. You will never regret letting Mubeen guide you on your journey of personal development.”
“I had the privilege of being taught by Mubeen for five years during school, and I can truly say he had a profound and lasting impact on my life. He was a calm, steady, safe presence. I am now a teacher myself, and I often find that my own teaching philosophy is shaped by how he taught us. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a tutor who inspires confidence, curiosity, and real personal growth.”
“I have got to know Mubeen as a warm soul with solid principles who wants to get the most out of life by serving others. I am so proud that Mubeen has become one of our Elite Mentorship Trainers so he can spread his wonderful energy to his students. If you are considering working with Mubeen, do not hesitate. You are in great hands for a journey of personal transformation.”

“I worked with Mubeen for many years within a school setting. He is one of the kindest and most patient teachers I have had the privilege of working with. Mubeen has excellent subject knowledge and imparts this to his students in an engaging and friendly manner. All of the students at our school loved him. He comes highly recommended.”
“Mubeen was a wonderful person to be around — even online his personality brightly shone through. Humble and listening, yet very distinctive in expressing his opinion. His kind and deep wisdom about life, his love for his family and proactive support of his colleagues really touched me. He is an experienced educator and his ideas just flow in a clear, resonating stream of words. His deep quest for knowledge, wisdom and sharing makes him so valuable to work with. I am happy, Mubeen, to call you my friend.”
“Mubeen is a very kind, pleasant and caring individual. He is a very patient listener and always responds with a smooth guiding confidence. To say he is very good with people and has the ability to maximise their potential is an understatement. He also might be the most analytical person I know, as he always frames his questions to allow a space for deep contemplation and learning. That curiosity allows him to be the best he can be for the people he works with. You will not meet a nicer human being — anyone would be lucky to have him as their coach.”
“It has been a real privilege studying with Mubeen and sharing our personal development journeys. He has such a beautiful, calm and supportive nature which is felt by all that meet him. He is deeply knowledgeable, an excellent listener and very perceptive, which makes him a great coach and mentor. Keep shining your light Mubeen.”
“It is rare to meet someone who walks his talk in every area of life. Whilst studying alongside Mubeen on many intimate and personal subjects, I have witnessed him being both vulnerable and authentic, demonstrating a clear empathy and an infinite capacity of care and understanding for all others. A dedicated, balanced, abundant and true gentleman.”
“I am in gratitude to Mubeen Azam of Life by Design who worked to redesign my LinkedIn page. The whole process was so validating — with his attention to detail he created a picture that came alive from my qualifications, experiences and achievements. He sensitively held a space where I could articulate my vision and helped me translate them into words that were mine, gently challenging me to shine.”

The Clarity Session
90 minutes  ·  One session
There is a quiet feeling that has probably been with you for a while now, the sense that something is not quite right even if you cannot put your finger on exactly what. You do not need another opinion or more information, you need a clear and searching conversation with someone who will ask the real questions and actually hold space for what is true.

In ninety minutes we get past the surface version of your situation to what is genuinely going on, and you leave with a written Clarity Map within seventy two hours, setting out where you are, what you actually want, what has been in the way, and the one concrete thing to do next.

There is a version of you, three to five years from now, who has simply gotten used to this, no longer fighting it or even noticing it as a problem, just someone who settled and who tells a slightly smaller story about what was once possible. That is the real risk, not staying the same as such, but quietly losing the wanting to change at all.

This is for people who refuse to become that version of themselves, open to Foundations graduates only because this depth of change only holds for those who have already proven to themselves they can do the work, three in depth monthly sessions and two shorter check ins giving it the space it actually needs.

Commit to the Change

The relationship begins once, with a free 30-minute Next Chapter Call.
No pitch. No pressure. Just a real conversation to find out if this is the right fit.

A limited number of founding client Clarity Sessions are available at £97 while spaces remain. Once filled, the full rate of £175 applies. Foundations builds on the Clarity Session and includes it as your first step if you are starting there. Transformation is open to Foundations graduates only.

Things people ask.

It is for people who feel the gap between the life they are living and the life they sense is possible for them. That could be someone at a career crossroads, someone who has built everything on paper and still feels something is missing, or simply someone who has never properly stopped to ask what they actually want.

Start with the Clarity Check. It is free, it takes about twenty minutes to sit with properly, and it gives you a genuine picture of where you actually are across three areas of your life. Most people find it more revealing than they expected. From there, you will know whether you want to go further.

Your Next Chapter Call is a thirty minute conversation, not a sales call. Mubeen will ask you a few real questions about where you are and where you want to be. You will leave with at least one clear thought you did not arrive with. If working together feels right for both of you, you will discuss next steps. If it does not, that is completely fine.

No. The work here is designed to be accessible whether you have spent years in personal development or have never read a self-help book. What matters is that you are willing to look at yourself clearly. Experience is not a prerequisite for that.

Mubeen is currently based in North Africa and works with people across the UK and internationally. All sessions take place online via video call, which means location is never a barrier.

Most coaching starts with goals. Life by Design starts with clarity. Goals built on an unclear foundation tend not to hold, so the work here goes deeper first, asking what you actually want and why, before moving to what you are going to do about it. It tends to produce changes that last.

No, and Mubeen will not pretend otherwise. What he can promise is the conditions for real change, structured sessions, the right questions at the right time, and a process built on genuine experience of what actually shifts people from stuck to moving. What you do with that, in the sessions and after, is what determines the outcome. No coach can guarantee another person’s choices, and the people who get the most from this work are the ones who show up and do it themselves.

They are designed as one continuous journey rather than three separate products. The Clarity Session is the starting point for everyone. Foundations builds directly on it, and if you are beginning with Foundations, your Clarity Session is included as the first step rather than a separate purchase. Transformation goes deeper still, and is only available to those who have completed Foundations, because that level of change only holds for people who have already proven to themselves they can do the work.

If you change your mind, there is a 48-hour goodwill window from the moment you pay, provided your first session has not yet happened, for a full refund with no questions asked. This is a choice Mubeen makes rather than a legal requirement, and it applies the same way no matter where you are based. Once your first session has taken place, or the 48 hours has passed, payments are non-refundable, because real change depends on genuine commitment from both sides.

It did not start as a brand. It started in 2007 with a decision, a deliberate, uncomfortable choice to build our family life around what we actually valued rather than what made sense to everyone else. We chose to live in a part of the country where almost nobody who shared our background lived, where the path forward had to be created rather than followed. That chapter, including becoming the first person of our background to teach in that county's secondary school system, was covered by the Times Educational Supplement and emel magazine. Not because it was designed to be a story, but because it was simply what happens when you decide to live by design rather than by default, long before you have a name for it. Nearly two decades later, that same principle is what everything here is built on.
