MEET HAUWA BELLO
FFounder of Mumtaz International School & Mumtaz Mind & Wellness Studio
From Overwhelmed Founder to Structured Strategic CEO
The Turning Point
Hauwa was overstretched managing two businesses, A school built for 1,000 students but with less than 15% enrolled, and a wellness center relocating with multiple services. She struggled with delegation, having run the school alone for years, and still found herself stuck in admin work instead of CEO-level strategy. She was managing both businesses in overwhelm, but both lacked structure and alignment.
“I was doing everything myself,
but nothing felt truly structured.”
