In 2017, I was gigging and teaching guitar for a living.
While I loved what I did...
There was still a limit to the number of hours I could work everyday.
I woke up as early as 5am to teach in schools and went home as late as 1am for night gigs at the pub.
My income was capped for 5 years with no career progression.
In 2018, I found out that I was going to be a single mom when I conceived Zane.
I was in a committed relationship for 6 years but it just wasn't working out.
That moment, I made the choice that I was going to do whatever it takes to succeed.
I wanted to be able to provide for my son.
I knew about the power of building a personal brand - so I worked on growing my influence on Instagram.
It was not easy as I didn't know what I was doing...
I had to invest time to read up everything I could about growing on Instagram.
Eventually, it worked!
I started doing sponsored posts for baby products just to get by and live day to day.
Deep inside, I knew that I had the potential to GO BIGGER.
I had a big vision to build a thriving business doing what I love while creating FREEDOM in my life.
Eventually, I invested in courses, certifications, masterminds and mentorship to gain knowledge and develop a high income skill - social media marketing.
This was how I went from overworked and underpaid to...
🔥 Getting featured on Forbes as an Instagram Expert and a contributing writer at Entrepreneur - establishing massive credibility.
🔥 Spending time with my son anytime I want because I'm no longer swapping my time for money, without worrying about when he has therapy sessions.
🔥 Creating freedom with a sustainable business model that allows clients to buy ANYTIME, even when I'm not selling - so I get to travel whenever.
🔥 Having peace of mind knowing that I don't need to chase down the next client because I have scalable backend systems running on autopilot.
The truth was...
I started without any resources so I got resourceful to get to where I wanted to be.
I had resilience and kept showing up for YEARS even when I didn't see it working yet.
Anything is possible when you're 100% committed to your vision. 💖
