Captivating Quotes from this Episode:
- Everything about me is what you see is what you get. I’m very much like that on social media. Because I always tell people, the whole purpose of wanting to start a business was because I didn’t want to conform to society’s idea of what professionalism should be or should look like.
- I always tell people if you don’t want to throw your business away, at least once a week, then you’re not doing it right, because I want to throw it away every other day.
- Because I didn’t take everybody else’s advice and niche down, my ADHD brain was allowed to just do what it wanted to do a little bit. Because even though, at the time, I was focused on admin, I had clients that were in so many different industries that I didn’t get bored.
- What I’ve really found out is the secret sauce to business is me. I am the secret sauce. I’m the reason why my business pops is because people like me. So how am I showing them me if I’m trying to follow somebody else. So that’s why I quickly was able to shift because I was like, This doesn’t feel authentic.
- It is a limiting belief to believe that I only have to create one thing and just offer one thing. Because how my business grew was the simple fact that I did not niche down it was because I kind of went with the ebbs and flows. If I liked it, great. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t do it again.
