It took me 8 years (Yep, 8) of living my life like that “9 to 5” Dolly Parton song and losing my full time job to reignite my fire and start living out my own dream. I built my business around mentoring content creators and teaching them how to market their passions and turn them into a thriving business so they too, can live out their dream.
When I graduated from UCLA a decade ago, I started my career with a $28k yearly salary chained to an office.
My rent budget was $500... so I shared a room and slept on the floor my first year out of college.
I worked countless 9 to 5 jobs getting a tiny raise here and a slightly larger raise there but it was never enough to have my own room or my own place and it was hard making ends meet!
I wanted a killer view of the city - floor to ceiling windows in a luxury building - privacy and place that was MINE.
I worked the 9 to 5 in NYC for 2 more years... persevered through the highs and lows…
I felt stuck. I couldn’t see my future anymore.
I decided that it was time to take matters into my own hands and make my dream a reality.
I doubled my income in my first year in business.
