1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: I would love to walk away from the nine to

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: five life for good. But how do I start over

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: the right way and pursue my dream career path?

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 2: Focus on being the authority in that space. So if

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 2: it's like a beauty, if you want to do beauty,

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 2: it has to be like beauty for vegans, like specialized,

7
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 2: Like down to that level and own that space so

8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,319
Speaker 2: that you are the person that people come to. So

9
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: when you're starting in that area, it's not like you're

10
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: starting from zero.

00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: at Brandambission Podcast on IG. Serena's question is, Hey Mandy Money.

35
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: I'm twenty eight years old and I'm currently living in Texas.

36
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: I moved back here last June from Louisiana, and I

37
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: feel like everything has gone downhill poorly. I'm completely starting

38
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: over from needing a new car, place and building up

39
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: my savings. I have a registered business, but sometimes I

40
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: feel like I don't know what to do with it

41
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: and can't pick a path. As a multi passionate entrepreneur,

42
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: I have a love for beauty and holistic health, but

43
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: I hate to have to choose one. I would love

44
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: to walk away from the nine to five life for good.

45
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: But how do I start over the right way and

46
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: pursue my dream career path?

47
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: From Serena Serena, I love this question. Actually it's something

48
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 2: that I've been studying recently because you know, I'm definitely

49
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 2: like a traditional work girly that like fakes, like I'm

50
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: an entrepreneur, so I really have to get my mind right.

51
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: So it's this book that I would highly recommend you read,

52
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 2: and it's called Key Person of Influence. And the thing

53
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 2: is is, like, I'm sure you've heard the term the

54
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: riches are in the niches are in the niches niches.

55
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 3: I thought you said witches. I'm like, the witches are

56
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 3: were right.

57
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: You know, I'm still getting made fun of for the

58
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 2: way that I said kindergarten on here. So however you

59
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: say niche niche, you have to mispronounce it for to

60
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 2: work nitches, I got you, yes exactly. So anyway, you

61
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: just you have to become the authoritative person in one

62
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: particular space. So I know you don't want to narrow

63
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: down on one thing, but in order for you to

64
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: be successful, you really have to hone in on that.

65
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: And the thing is is that there's so many voices

66
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: out there that like you're like, oh that sounds good,

67
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: that looks good, Like really be and focus on being

68
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 2: the authority in that space. So if it's like a beauty,

69
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: if you want to do beauty, it has to be

70
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,839
Speaker 2: like beauty for vegans, like specialized, like down to that

71
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 2: level and own that space so that you are the

72
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 2: person that people come to and the way that you'll

73
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: figure out what space you need to be in. It's

74
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: like what stories in your life can you talk to

75
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 2: that you know that you own that space, like you

76
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 2: have lived that life. So when you're starting in that area,

77
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: it's not like you're starting from zero because you're like,

78
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: oh that looks good. I saw that on Instagram and

79
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 2: this person is making big and brownie, so I'm gonna

80
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: start doing that. That's not your thing. But your thing

81
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: is this particular thing. You have stories around it, you

82
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: can speak to it, you have lived this life, like

83
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 2: really lean in on that. And I feel like, you

84
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: know you can't. You're at a point where you can

85
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: only succeed. You can only go up. It's only up

86
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: from here. But yeah, I think that you post it

87
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 2: like there's an issue the key person of influence KPI

88
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 2: key person of influence. Okay, I got who the author is.

89
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: I'm so bad at names.

90
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: That's okay, we'll find it and put it in the

91
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: show notes.

92
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that, like it's it's it. I read

93
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: it in a day, and but I'm a fast reader,

94
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: so but yeah, it's it's really really good because it's

95
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 2: directing to the point and it tells you like to

96
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: really like lean in on like what is your pitch?

97
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 2: Like what do you do? How do you help serve people?

98
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 2: And once you can get that down, you can start

99
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 2: doing all of the other things and creating your authority

100
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 2: and getting out there and getting published and being known

101
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 2: for those things, even to the point where writing a

102
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 2: book like Mandy is doing so you know, but like

103
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 2: really like leaning in on this pitch and practicing and

104
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: it's almost like manifesting, like this is who I am.

105
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: I am that grilly that you want to come to

106
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 2: that talks about being beauty.

107
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: You know, like, so, yeah, that's my advice. You were

108
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: gonna say something before I interrupted, Sorry about that. You

109
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: you started saying that. She posed it almost as if

110
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: it was a problem.

111
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, she yeah. She posted it as

112
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: if it was a problem. But I really feel like

113
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 2: this is like exactly where you need to be because

114
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: it's like you're at the ground level and so you

115
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 2: don't have to tear something down to build it back up.

116
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 2: You're right at the point where you can just take off.

117
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 2: And so I think this is a perfect opportunity and

118
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 2: you should look at it like that. And I think

119
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 2: that reframing of mindset is going to help you excel.

120
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: Can you imagine your daughter, some or one of them

121
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: someday like being in a similar situation. And it's almost

122
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: like when people ask questions, now, I try to picture

123
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: my own kid in their shoes, and I can I

124
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: almost feel a little bit excited for I mean, I

125
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: don't have a daughter, but Rio, I feel almost excited

126
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: for him to have these kind of like existential crossroads

127
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:45,679
Speaker 1: moments in his life.

128
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 3: Yes, it's not.

129
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: Just so like no matter what generation you're part of,

130
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: like everyone has this moment.

131
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

132
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: So she's moved from Tech, she's moved back to Texas

133
00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: from Louisiana, so very Beyonce of you, and and she's

134
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: saying it's gone downhill poorly, And there's something that happens

135
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: in transitions and I want to it doesn't. And there's

136
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: something that I think that happens too with like our

137
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: vision of how a transition will go, Like if I

138
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: just moved here, or if I just start this new job,

139
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: then on the other side of that it will be

140
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: like change will be, change will happen, and things will

141
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: start going my way, and like I just need to

142
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: take the steps and make the move. And that is

143
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: very much true, but the you have to sometimes journey

144
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: through some muck once you make that transition. And I

145
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: actually I was having a conversation with y'all know why

146
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: I joined the iHeart Network back in March, and it's

147
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: been four months now, and I've been really like trying

148
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: to be patient with like some of the changes and

149
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: everything is fine, and I love working with them on

150
00:07:55,320 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: the whole, but I myself have had to like have

151
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: the same conversation with you make a big change, you

152
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: and you do it for the right reasons, but there's

153
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: still a growth, Like there's still an uphill journey after

154
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: you make such a big change to get to know

155
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: a new environment, get to know new people, get to

156
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: know the new workings of things, and just to have

157
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: some patience with that I think we're a little impatient.

158
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: I mean that goes without saying we're all so impatient,

159
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: but give yourself a little bit of patience. I feel

160
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: like to go through this yucky phase, this awkward transition phase.

161
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: You know, it's like you go natural and then for

162
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 1: the next what how long does an awkward transition phase go? Three?

163
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: Four years?

164
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it feels like it feels like taking steps backwards.

165
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 2: And sometimes it's okay to take step backwards.

166
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: To go forward.

167
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 2: You know a lot, but a lot of people just

168
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 2: aren't comfortable in that space. And the more you're able

169
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: to lean into that and understand that that's part of

170
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 2: the journey, the easier is for you.

171
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: When she says, I'd love to walk away from the

172
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: nine to five life for good, wouldn't we all?

173
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 3: But also you twenty eight and if you don't have a.

174
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: Trust fund, and if you don't have you know, a

175
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: bunch of money in the bank already, it takes time

176
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 1: to earn and to build, and especially if you're trying

177
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: to do that as an entrepreneur. And I think the

178
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: problem is I almost I don't even without saying it,

179
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: I feel like you're on social media too much. Because

180
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: if you just get off social media and you just

181
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: go to work, earn your coins and you focus on

182
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: building your business, it will take probably five to ten years.

183
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: But like you can build something, you can walk away

184
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: from the nine to five life. But I think being

185
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: on social you'll see other people doing it or looking

186
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: like they're doing it, having a bunch of followers talking

187
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: about beauty or being a holistic health influencer, and you're

188
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: comparing yourself to them. But that's just not realistic and

189
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: it's not the journey that you know. Maybe is like

190
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: the journey that you're on, and you need time to

191
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: build that and to be able to break from the

192
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: nine to five grind. And I can absolutely see myself

193
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: telling Rio someday like, boy, you can't whatever if it'll

194
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: be like a hologram by then or whatever kind of

195
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: like AI bought, he'll be comparing himself too.

196
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 3: I don't know.

197
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: Oh, but yeah, you have to just take your I

198
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: take your eye off everyone else and what and even

199
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: your even the vision of yourself that you were comparing

200
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: yourself to right and make peace with like where you're

201
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: at right now.

202
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 3: And I think.

203
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 1: I think things will start to work out. But it

204
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: just will be slow, slow, small little things working out. First,

205
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: if you get the nice apartment, but you still hate

206
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: the job.

207
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 2: But the apartment's nice, and then you get.

208
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 3: A little bit of coins in your account.

209
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: Hey, ba fam, we gotta take a quick break, pay

210
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: some bills, and we'll be right back. All right, ba fam,

211
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: We're back. Has he meant anything else? Do you want

212
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: to add?

213
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 2: No? I just think don't like, don't sleep on the

214
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 2: nine to five and where I can get you because

215
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 2: it just brings the the boat a little bit closer

216
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 2: to the dock and then you can jump.

217
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 3: So oh I like that analogy.

218
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, brings a boat a little bit closer to the

219
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: dock and then you can jump.

220
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 3: I love that.

221
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: So you say that you have a registered business, but

222
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: you don't feel like you know what to do with

223
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: it and you can't pick a path. The fact that

224
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: you've registered yourself as a business, and hopefully you registered

225
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: it in the state where you're operating as a business.

226
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: I know you said you move from Louisiana back to Texas,

227
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: but either way, it's not that hard. The fact that

228
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 1: you've registered is great. I mean, you've done You've taken

229
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: a step, and for me, that is. Sometimes it's funny.

230
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: I'll talk to women who have done everything but register

231
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: themselves as a business. So they're not able to take

232
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: care of take like they're not able to get a

233
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: business account, any business bank accounts, big business credit. They're

234
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: not able to like apply for grants or even properly

235
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: invoice people, you know, as a as a business. And

236
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: but they'll have the business, they'll have clients, they'll have

237
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: like a website and you know, a business card, all

238
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. And then I have entrepreneurs like

239
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: you who have done that that administrative step of starting

240
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: a business, but actually haven't created like any business revenue

241
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: yet or a business plan or you know, put together

242
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: an idea of what you're going to actually produce and

243
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: put out there in the world. And neither of those

244
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: paths is incorrect. But we need to find we need

245
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: to we need to merge them. You've done the paperwork

246
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: side of things. Now as far as picking a path

247
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: in your business and actually knowing what to do with it,

248
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: just pick something.

249
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 3: Pick a thing. You say you love beauty, you love

250
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 3: holistic health.

251
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: I love what Nasima said about, you know, really focusing

252
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: in on one POV one niche or a niche for

253
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: you to be known for. Just pick one and stop

254
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: telling yourself that you only have to pick one for

255
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: the rest of your life. You're twenty eight years old,

256
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: You're so young, and you have so much time. You

257
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: can pick holistic health and put your all into that

258
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: for the next year, two, three, four, five years and

259
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: build up your audience, build up your reputation, build up

260
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: your authority in the space, build your client base. If

261
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: you're going to be selling something, I don't know, but

262
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: you can be doing that in holistic health. You can

263
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: still have a love for beauty, right You can still

264
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: post a little bit on the side about beauty if

265
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: you want to, or explore it, or educate yourself more

266
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: on the beauty space. Nothing has to stop that from happening.

267
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: And then if you decide I've done everything I can

268
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: do with holistic health, I want to switch it up

269
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: and talk about beauty or focus my business more on

270
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: the beauty space.

271
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 3: That may be.

272
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: Easier to do than what you're thinking. It may feel

273
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 1: like a huge leap and a huge jump. Well, how

274
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: can I do beauty if I go all in on

275
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: holistic health? I could think of a thousand ways right now,

276
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: just sitting here, how those two things are intertwined. So

277
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: I'm not totally worried about you creating authority and expertise

278
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: in the holistic health space and potentially sacrificing that by

279
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: then pivoting into the beauty space later on down the road.

280
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely not. I mean I'm thinking about Tabitha Brown

281
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: for example. First of all, that girl like tab that girl,

282
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: that woman that everything, that queen. You know, she goes viral.

283
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: I'm talking about a vegan sandwich and the Whole Foods

284
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: parking lot while working while doing Uber right. Then she

285
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: starts with where does Tabitha Brown start with?

286
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 2: God?

287
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: She starts with cooking content. I believe she's cooking. She's

288
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: going all in as a vegan cook and she does

289
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: vegan recipes, She writes a memoir, she gets her book

290
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: or sorry, she gets the deal with Target where she

291
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: starts creating vegan vegan foods and a line of vegan

292
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: you know, food and cookware at Target. And then she

293
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: comes out with Donna's recipe, her haircurr line. Then she

294
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: goes and creates her kid series tab Time, you know,

295
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: with YouTube. She has all these different businesses, lines of

296
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: business that are thriving, but she starting with one. She

297
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: is tabitha Brown Vegan. I mean, it's hard to just

298
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: call her a vegan food influencer because she's also Tabatha

299
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: the Brown. She's also just like a spiritual influencer. And

300
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, human soothing machine for the world, but

301
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: she started out in that way and then she continued

302
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: branching out. And I just want you to feel less.

303
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: You're putting too much pressure on yourself to in the

304
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: sense of like I got to pick one and be

305
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: done in forever, and this is the one I've picked.

306
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: This is the only kind of business I can ever have.

307
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: Try something, try it and either fly or fail quickly,

308
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: and try something different. Gotta stop being so afraid to

309
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: try something new because you're afraid that it means you

310
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: may fail at it. Yeah, you might fail at it,

311
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: but you're never gonna know until you try. And the biggest,

312
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: the best piece of advice I can give any entrepreneur

313
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: or just anyone in life in general, is fail fast

314
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: and move on.

315
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 3: Embrace the fail don't even like you have to stop.

316
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: We have to stop thinking about failure as if it's

317
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: something to avoid. Part of the journey. It's something to embrace.

318
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: Like I came home from a week away in Georgia,

319
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: and I came home and I saw what my vegetables

320
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: have been doing. Have I what's been thriving? What's been

321
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: taken over by cabbage worms? God damn it, I hate

322
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: those things. What has been you know, which squash is

323
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: doing well? So the squash got too much, so that

324
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: squash was being overcrowded by the tomatoes. Like I am

325
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: learning every day how to fail in my space, you know,

326
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: trying to grow my own food. And I think our

327
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: careers are very similar, Like let's just get through the

328
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: failures quickly. I've been doing Mandy Money. I started out

329
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: with Mandy Money in twenty twenty one when I you know,

330
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: I was always doing the podcast, but when I wanted

331
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: to branch out with my own business. Because remember, at

332
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: the time Brown Ambition was my I was co running

333
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: that with my former co host Tiffany, and so Tiffany

334
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: and I were fifty to fifty business partners, so it

335
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: never really felt like Brown Ambition was entirely mine. So

336
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: when I started my own business in twenty twenty one,

337
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: I left nine to five. I said I want to

338
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: do something on my own, and I chose negotiation slash

339
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: career coaching.

340
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 3: So for me, that was about and I can do

341
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 3: a bunch of things.

342
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: But I really loved and enjoyed talking about negotiation and

343
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: job seeking advice. And also I listened to what my

344
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: audience was telling me that they wanted. And I was

345
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: getting a lot of questions about negotiating and looking for

346
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: a new job and you know, networking and leveraging relationships

347
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: into career opportunities. And I was like, bet, I want

348
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: to focus on that. And I did that, and I

349
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: did it really hard, and for a time that was amazing.

350
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 1: And then the economy shifted. Things start changing. Now the

351
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: job market is a lot tighter. Everyone's not getting opportunities

352
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 1: to negotiate. They certainly are not getting as many opportunities

353
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 1: to negotiate as they were back in the summers of

354
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two, and even into twenty

355
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: twenty three, and things got tighter, and all of a sudden,

356
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: I was feeling as if I was failing in a

357
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: way because I'm like, oh, opportunities for me are not

358
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: you know, they're not as lucrative. You know, I'm selling

359
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: the same things that we're doing really well back in

360
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two, they're not selling as

361
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: great anymore. I need to be trying something different, and

362
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: I'm not going to lie and say that it didn't

363
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: get to me. And I didn't have those moments where

364
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: I was feeling really down on myself and kind of

365
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: feeling like, oh am, I just screwing this all up,

366
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: like do I really have what it takes? But I

367
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: got over it and I kept moving and I had to.

368
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: I had to shift my mindset to accept the fact

369
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 1: that failure is almost a guaranteed aspect of being a

370
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: business owner. Failure is almost guaranteed failure in some regards.

371
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: It's up to us to decide if it's going to

372
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: be a failure period or a failure dot dot dot

373
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: or a failure comma or whatever grammatical punctuation makes sense

374
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: for this really weird metaphor that I just came up with.

375
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 3: But what's that.

376
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: Story going to be like for you, Serena. I think

377
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: you deserve to have an opportunity to try something, and

378
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: I think you deserve to have an opportunit unity to

379
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: take your business and see what you can make of it.

380
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: You may start your business in holistic health then decide

381
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: that you really don't like it anyway. Maybe you like

382
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 1: to read about it and watch other influencers and you know,

383
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: or what, I don't know exactly what kind of work

384
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: you want to do in holistic health, but maybe you

385
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: just really enjoy it. But then when you start doing that,

386
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: you realize, oh, I don't want to do this all day. Hey, bafam,

387
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: we got to take a quick break, pay some bills

388
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: and we'll be right back. All right, bafam, we're back.

389
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 3: And I will say.

390
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: The thing about leaving nine to five people need to

391
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: know more about is when you leave a nine to

392
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: five and you start your own business, you have another

393
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: nine to five like in fact, it's even worse than

394
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 1: a nine to five in some ways, because yes, you're

395
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: your own boss, you have freedom all of that, but

396
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: you also have bills, you have taxes. You have and

397
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: can I say taxes again for the girls in back.

398
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: You have to find your own clients. You have to

399
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: be your social media, you got to be your marketing,

400
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: You got to be your business analyst, you got to

401
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: be your own accountant. You know, you have to build

402
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 1: those things up and that is very all consuming, time

403
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: consuming work. Now you're twenty eight years old, you have energy,

404
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: you have time on your side. I'm like, this is

405
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: the best time to try it out. If you were

406
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: going to try it and keep your nine to five,

407
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: you know, for the insurance, for the quote unquote stability

408
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: that having that additional income can can offer you, and

409
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: just get out there and try something new. And like

410
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: I said, you can always change your mind down the line.

411
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: And I'll wrap it up by just reiterating that I

412
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: want you to give yourself grace. You just got back

413
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: home to Texas from leaving Louisiana, and I know it's

414
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: been a year, and we tend to do that to ourselves.

415
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: We'll look at the calendar and say, oh, it's been

416
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,959
Speaker 1: a year. I should have been here by now. I

417
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: wish I would have done this by now. I can't

418
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: believe I haven't done this by now. Stop it. I'm

419
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: gonna tell you what I told my two year old

420
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: this morning when he was trying to cry about going

421
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: to daycare. Is zipit zipit? Nope, nop, nope, We're not

422
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 1: doing that. It's only been a year.

423
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 3: Okay.

424
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 1: It takes time to transition. You are acclimate yourself to

425
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: a new environment. It sounds like you've had struggle, you know,

426
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: needing a new car, getting a place, building up your savings.

427
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 1: Give yourself grace, give yourself time to acclimate, and just

428
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: try to appreciate where you are exactly when you are

429
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,959
Speaker 1: in that space right now. I'm really proud of you

430
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: for uprooting yourself and moving to a whole different state.

431
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: I mean, that takes guts, and it takes some bravery,

432
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 1: and if it was easy, everybody and their mama will

433
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: be out here doing it. Okay, So you took a risk.

434
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: I want you to give yourself grace, and I really

435
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: am grateful for you for giving me a chance to

436
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: pour into you a little bit and sending your question

437
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: in Serena and I hope be a fam If you're

438
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 1: listening to this, you'll send your questions into Brandnambission Podcast

439
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: at gmail dot com.

440
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 3: So we can pour into y'all.

441
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 1: Because I know some of the questions are not all

442
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: cut and dry. It's not oh, I have this much

443
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: dead and this much savings. Honestly, those questions are a

444
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: little bit more boring. These questions, like what you're going

445
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: through Serena. They really remind me of how important it

446
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 1: is to say what's on our spirits out loud and

447
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: really share the struggles that we're having, the existential struggles

448
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: that we're having, because when you share them, you realize

449
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: how not how common, but how many other people are

450
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: going through something similar, who have come out on the

451
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 1: other side of something similar, and can really help you

452
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: feel seen and just validate exactly what you're feeling, which

453
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: is what I'm trying to do with you right now.

454
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: And ba fam, if you're someone who understands what Serena

455
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: is going through, or if you have been through a

456
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 1: similar situation, will you email me Brand Ambition Podcasts at

Speaker 1: gmail dot com or dm me at Brand Ambition podcast

458
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 1: on ig so that I can share those messages with Serena,

459
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: because I think our girl, Serena needs to know that

460
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: she's not alone and that there is a community of

461
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: incredible people out there, incredible women who are sharing in

462
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: that experience and want to send some support and some

463
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: live just like I do. All Right, I'm wishing you

464
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: all the best. Thank you so much again for sending

465
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: your question in Serena. If I can think of anything else,

466
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 1: I'll hit you up in your email, because yes, I
