“I always did something I was a little not ready

“I always did something I was a little not ready to do. I think that’s how you grow. When there’s that moment of ‘Wow, I’m not really sure I can do this,’ and you push through those moments. That’s when you have a breakthrough.”
- Marissa Mayer 💻

🎤 The first time I thought about being a keynote speaker, I laughed it off. Me? Speaking in front of an audience? With a microphone and a hot light? Ughh - pass.

Over the course of time, something kept telling me to revisit it. Finally I decided to give it a try and reached out to a local nonprofit. The first audience I had was a whopping 3 people! I was so nervous & didn’t dare tell my family or friends. It was my little experiment.

I worked hard and practiced in front of the mirror and my dog. Overtime I got comfortable speaking to 3 people, then 10 people, then 20, then 50, 100, 150, 250, and hopefully more.

Entering my 30s made me more comfortable in being my true authentic self, owning a business, and sharing my journey. But I wouldn’t have gotten here if I waited to be “fully ready” to own a business, be a speaker, or have the courage to write.

✨Sometimes you just have to show up, do your best, and not overthink it.

“We need to get women to the point where they aren’t apologizing. It is time to take ownership in our success.”
- Tory Burch

✨Don’t be afraid to go after your dreams, and equally don’t be afraid to own it when you get it. Be proud of what you’ve built, how far you’ve come, how many businesses/people you’ve helped, and the passion you have for your life’s work. No one can understand that but you - accept the challenge.

Don’t apologize for being strong, being smart, keeping your head down and doing the damn work. Don’t apologize for building something greater than oneself, especially if it benefits others. Don’t apologize if it means bringing yourself down to lift others up. Don’t apologize if it means dimming your light because someone can’t stand your shine. Don’t apologize for doing you.

Own it. And help others realize their own light.

💻 If you’re a woman looking to start a business, check out The Tory Burch Foundation. Their website has tons of great content on starting, funding, confidence, networking & scaling. They recently had a free webinar for women entrepreneurs on how to grow your business with Google tools. Very beneficial for digital marketing.

“The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.”
- Vince Lombardi 🏈

Everyone has their own reasons for entrepreneurship. For me, it’s been a life long dream but one that always felt out of reach. Recently I spoke at UNC Pembroke’s 🔥 Fireside Chat and shared my journey from college to MarTech Entrepreneur, Writer & Keynote Speaker with a new class of hopeful students. It helped me reflect full circle on my own journey as well and the road I’m still on.

Which is why the theme of my chat was about overcoming failure. Talking about “how I became an entrepreneur” is equivalent to “all the lessons I learned failing a bunch of times and kept going anyway.”

🍁Here is a round up of some topics we covered:
1. Understand your business WHY and cling on to it forever.
2. Treat college like a business incubator & test your ideas on a small scale. If it fails, start again. Utilize all free resources available on campus.
3. Your dorm room or apartment is the new garage. Start where you are with what you have.
4. VC Funding is not free money, isn’t a guarantee of success, & there are other ways to fund your business- like getting real customers.
5. Do it all - the internships, traveling, working part-time, freelancing, study abroad, join an organization.
6. Execution is the difference between a dreamer and an entrepreneur. So get to work!
7. Mental & emotional perseverance is very important. Get up 10 by resolving internal issues or it’ll bleed into your business.
8. EVERYONE has an opinion about your business. Listen to your inner knowing & question your own thoughts sometimes.
9. Age is only a number. You are your perfect age for starting a business no matter your age.
10. Check your ego. The moment you hire someone older & more educated than you is the day you realize the value of humility.
11.All we have are choices and consequences. The choices you make in college will affect you for the next 5-10 years. Spend your 20s discovering yourself, testing business ideas, learning a skill and traveling around the world. You won’t regret it.

“When faced with sexism or ageism or lookism or even really aggressive Buddhism, ask yourself the following question: Is this person in between me and what I want to do? If the answer is no, ignore it and move on. Your energy is better used doing your work and outpacing people that way.”
- Tina Fey 🎭📚
