From making $500 in the first month I launched my From making $500 in the first month I launched my business to making $500 in a day in month 14, I’ve come a long way.  And to be honest in month 1, it felt IMPOSSIBLE to imagine a day when my business would be doing $500 days.  But here’s the thing - you don’t get ahead by doing one random thing every now and then. You get ahead by doing the same thing in new and improved ways over and over and over again, until the wheel starts to move in the direction you want.  So yesterday, when I woke up and realised I’d made more in my sleep than I did a WHOLE month of killing myself in the first month of my business, I was humbly reminded of the power of compounded effort and NOT GIVING UP.  So whatever it is you’re working towards-  Keep building, keep crashing and keep picking yourself back up and moving forward. And sure enough, one of these days the wave won’t wipe you out and you’ll come out surfing at the top 😉  Who’s with me on this? 💪  #fempreneur #bizowners #hustleandheart #goaldiggersociety #businessmoves #ceofmylife #hersuccess #ladypreneur #sheeo #goaldigger #goalgetter #freedombasedbusiness

I didn’t know how a tripod worked, what the heck ring lights were and I sure as heck didn’t know how to talk to a machine.  But here’s the thing, you can teach yourself ANYTHING. If you really want to, that is.  Spending thousands of $ every month on advertising my new business was not an option, so I told myself I’d do the next best thing, which was to create free video content and build my audience on Youtube.  Fast forward to today, it seems like the most natural thing in the world to do.  I’m still far from an expert, but as long as each new video is better than the one before, that works!

📌4 years since I started my first hobby blog. 📌4 years since I started my first hobby blog.  📌 2.5 years since I started a second serious blog.  📌1 year since I started my online training business.  🙋🏻‍♀️400+ blog posts. 200+ videos. 500+ marketing emails. 8 digital products. Multiple failures. Multiple wins. Thousands of $ invested. 95% of all weekends worked. Gazillion no’s said. Countless breakdowns later...  I now make more than my last corporate job and my business revenue is growing 70% month over month. But it didn’t happen in a blink.  Here’s the thing - I’m not in any way special. I’m just committed to my vision and persistent AF.  In the last few years of following my gut, I’ve realised it doesn’t just take talent or hard work to achieve your dreams. It takes courage to do something no one else around you is doing, but more than that it takes PERSISTENCE. The ability to stay stubbornly on-track against failure, haters, distractions, excuses and limiting beliefs.  Because when you know deep deep down that you’re doing what you’re meant to be doing, you don’t take no for an answer.  You find the funds, you take up extra jobs, you wake up early to work on your side hustle, you stay in on weekends, you teach yourself new skills, you do whatever the heck it takes to get closer to your goal. You stop making excuses. Period.  Let this be your daily reminder to-
>> STOP GIVING UP ON YOURSELF SO DAMN EASILY.  Just keep pushing forward, even when the people, the accolades and the results don’t show up. You’ll be surprised at how far you can get when you simply promise yourself to just do 1% better every single day.  Thoughts? Let me know. 👇

Keep showing up. Keep trying. Keep going. Even w Keep showing up. 
Keep trying.
Keep going.  Even when the results don’t show up. Even when the numbers in your bank account don’t add up. Even when people continue to doubt what you are doing.  Because here’s the secret behind achieving your goals most people overlook - CONSISTENCY  You can have all the talent in the world. 
You can be the most hard working person in the room.  But if you don’t keep getting up and moving forward even (and especially after you fail), success will always seem far away.  So let this be your reminder, to keep pushing for your dreams. You owe it to yourself to get everything your soul desires.  Drop me an amen if you agree!👇

5 Reasons Why Every Millennial Should Work For Startups

Work for Startups?

A phrase the older generation just doesn’t seem to get.

According to a famous researcher Carol Deck, people can be categorised into two mindsets, the fixed mindset vs. the growth mindset. If I were to take a wild guess, I’d say the Baby Boomers fell on average within the fixed mindset, and Millennials fall within the growth mindset. You can read where you fall here.

If you fall within the growth mindset, working for a startup may be the next best thing you do for your career.

I’ve had the pleasure (mixed with displeasure) to work for startups right after graduating from my MBA.

Even though it has been a tougher than usual journey when compared a typical or conventional corporate ladder, I picked up a ton of things I believe you only can pick up when you work for startups.

What skills are these?

#1 You are able to create structure out of chaos.

Any one can create structure out of structure.

If you are told exactly what to do, the framework you need to apply and the five steps you should follow to find the result, you don’t need to think for yourself much do you?

It may be a simple comparison, but that’s exactly what working for a corporate feels like.

Working for a startup on the other hand gives you the unique ability to CREATE structure where none was.

Most startups you may work at would be a few years old at max., and they definitely lack the resources to have fixed working patterns in place, which also makes them innovate and pivot faster than a corporate can.

Finding structure may mean setting up an automated CRM system from scratch, building an accounting model specific to the type of business, creating unique advertising that no one else has ever done before.

Doesn’t that sound like a truly incredible skill-set to have?

#2 You are able to work with uncertainty aka RISK.

At a late stage startup, this may not be the case.

But funding at startups can be a funny process. Even though you don’t need to worry about paying people (that’s the cofounder’s job), you do however need to deal with the uncertainty that you may or may not be paid on time each month.

This is especially true for early stage startups which are bootstrapped or working with limited cash in the bank.

What this does is, that it makes you understand and appreciate yourself even more.

We, as human beings love comfort and certainty. Putting ourselves outside of our comfort zone almost always leads to exceptional growth, and that’s what you will inevitably learn working at a startup.

The uncertainty may also have to do with last minute plan changes, business model pivots or overnight strategy changes.

Eventually, you’ll just roll your eyes when you hear of a change, and find a way to growth hack anyway.

How many people do you know who work for a corporate that have this skill? A handful, I’d say.

#3 You understand the value of passion and what it takes to grow.

Being at the beginning stage of a company can be a very emotional and intimate process.

You see the passion that the founders and the core leadership has for the startup and it WILL start to rub off on you.

At least until the company grows to about 500, this passion will be the sole reason for all those late nights and weekends you spend brainstorming.

Some of your colleagues will become your best friends, because this passion bonds you together in a unique way.

Something that rarely happens when you work at a company where thousands others have the same idea or work load as you.

#4 You will feel the weight of responsibility pretty early on.

No matter how small your job when you work for startups is, you will undoubtedly begin to feel pretty responsible pretty fast.

Why? Because you probably will have no support system at all especially in the beginning to ask questions or learn from.

You’ll be given a budget, tasks and thrown on the deep end of the pond to figure out a plan.

This not only makes working for startups challenging and exhilarating but it makes you unable to shrug responsibility any more.

When you’re spending your time chasing insane targets with a delivery time of 1 month, you pull yourself together, and run as fast as you can, and as smart as you can.

The earlier in your career you decide to work for startups, the earlier you will understand responsibility and accountability.

That’s because the entire company hangs on each individual that is sweating it out, and work cannot be easily allotted or delegated to the hundreds of others in the same team.

#5 You will go through a mini MBA

If you didn’t have an MBA before you joined a startup , rest assured you’ll go through a mini version working for one.

This is also why post MBA graduates are exceptionally better at handling the stress that comes with working for or launching a startup.

In my time working for startups I not only got my head into business acquisition (my expertise), but I was also got into finance, HR and operations. This is something that would almost never happen at a large scale corporate firm.

When I spoke to the Operations head, he’d make me understand various metrics and how it effected our business. If  I sat down with Finance, we’d work on how the existing sales or acquisition strategy may not be the best given the forecasts and cash flows.

When I’d work with HR on hiring people, I’d also have to make my own hiring case study, design my own tests and work within the legal regulations to be sure I was being fair and transparent in the entire process.

These cross-functional skills cannot be pegged at a price. It will most certainly will help you in your career in the long-run, no matter which organisation you end up at.
