<v Speaker 1>five life for good. But how do I start over

<v Speaker 2>it's like a beauty, if you want to do beauty,

0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:19.600
<v Speaker 2>it has to be like beauty for vegans, like specialized,

<v Speaker 1>at Brandambission Podcast on IG. Serena's question is, Hey Mandy Money.

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm twenty eight years old and I'm currently living in Texas.

0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 1>I moved back here last June from Louisiana, and I

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:58.240
<v Speaker 1>feel like everything has gone downhill poorly. I'm completely starting

0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:01.720
<v Speaker 1>over from needing a new car, place and building up

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 1>my savings. I have a registered business, but sometimes I

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:06.680
<v Speaker 1>feel like I don't know what to do with it

0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 1>and can't pick a path. As a multi passionate entrepreneur,

0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>I have a love for beauty and holistic health, but

0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:15.160
<v Speaker 1>I hate to have to choose one. I would love

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:18.079
<v Speaker 1>to walk away from the nine to five life for good.

0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 1>But how do I start over the right way and

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 1>pursue my dream career path?

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:31.280
<v Speaker 2>From Serena Serena, I love this question. Actually it's something

0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:36.639
<v Speaker 2>that I've been studying recently because you know, I'm definitely

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:40.359
<v Speaker 2>like a traditional work girly that like fakes, like I'm

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:42.960
<v Speaker 2>an entrepreneur, so I really have to get my mind right.

0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 2>So it's this book that I would highly recommend you read,

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:51.280
<v Speaker 2>and it's called Key Person of Influence. And the thing

0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 2>is is, like, I'm sure you've heard the term the

0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 2>riches are in the niches are in the niches niches.

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:01.560
<v Speaker 3>I thought you said witches. I'm like, the witches are

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:02.720
<v Speaker 3>were right.

0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:06.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm still getting made fun of for the

0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:11.080
<v Speaker 2>way that I said kindergarten on here. So however you

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 2>say niche niche, you have to mispronounce it for to

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:22.240
<v Speaker 2>work nitches, I got you, yes exactly. So anyway, you

0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:26.480
<v Speaker 2>just you have to become the authoritative person in one

0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 2>particular space. So I know you don't want to narrow

0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.440
<v Speaker 2>down on one thing, but in order for you to

0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:37.080
<v Speaker 2>be successful, you really have to hone in on that.

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 2>And the thing is is that there's so many voices

0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:42.320
<v Speaker 2>out there that like you're like, oh that sounds good,

0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:46.040
<v Speaker 2>that looks good, Like really be and focus on being

0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 2>the authority in that space. So if it's like a beauty,

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:52.240
<v Speaker 2>if you want to do beauty, it has to be

0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:56.839
<v Speaker 2>like beauty for vegans, like specialized, like down to that

0:03:56.960 --> 0:04:00.200
<v Speaker 2>level and own that space so that you are the

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:03.520
<v Speaker 2>person that people come to and the way that you'll

0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:06.240
<v Speaker 2>figure out what space you need to be in. It's

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 2>like what stories in your life can you talk to

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:12.400
<v Speaker 2>that you know that you own that space, like you

0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 2>have lived that life. So when you're starting in that area,

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.680
<v Speaker 2>it's not like you're starting from zero because you're like,

0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 2>oh that looks good. I saw that on Instagram and

0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:22.800
<v Speaker 2>this person is making big and brownie, so I'm gonna

0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 2>start doing that. That's not your thing. But your thing

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:29.120
<v Speaker 2>is this particular thing. You have stories around it, you

0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:32.680
<v Speaker 2>can speak to it, you have lived this life, like

0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:37.920
<v Speaker 2>really lean in on that. And I feel like, you

0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 2>know you can't. You're at a point where you can

0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:45.800
<v Speaker 2>only succeed. You can only go up. It's only up

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:51.240
<v Speaker 2>from here. But yeah, I think that you post it

0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 2>like there's an issue the key person of influence KPI

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:57.599
<v Speaker 2>key person of influence. Okay, I got who the author is.

0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm so bad at names.

0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:00.200
<v Speaker 1>That's okay, we'll find it and put it in the

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:00.800
<v Speaker 1>show notes.

0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think that, like it's it's it. I read

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:08.240
<v Speaker 2>it in a day, and but I'm a fast reader,

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:13.400
<v Speaker 2>so but yeah, it's it's really really good because it's

0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:16.839
<v Speaker 2>directing to the point and it tells you like to

0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.880
<v Speaker 2>really like lean in on like what is your pitch?

0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:22.240
<v Speaker 2>Like what do you do? How do you help serve people?

0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:25.160
<v Speaker 2>And once you can get that down, you can start

0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:27.839
<v Speaker 2>doing all of the other things and creating your authority

0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.280
<v Speaker 2>and getting out there and getting published and being known

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.800
<v Speaker 2>for those things, even to the point where writing a

0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.760
<v Speaker 2>book like Mandy is doing so you know, but like

0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:38.800
<v Speaker 2>really like leaning in on this pitch and practicing and

0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.640
<v Speaker 2>it's almost like manifesting, like this is who I am.

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.760
<v Speaker 2>I am that grilly that you want to come to

0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:47.480
<v Speaker 2>that talks about being beauty.

0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:51.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, like, so, yeah, that's my advice. You were

0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna say something before I interrupted, Sorry about that. You

0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.240
<v Speaker 1>you started saying that. She posed it almost as if

0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:57.960
<v Speaker 1>it was a problem.

0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, she yeah. She posted it as

0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:02.560
<v Speaker 2>if it was a problem. But I really feel like

0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:05.440
<v Speaker 2>this is like exactly where you need to be because

0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:07.560
<v Speaker 2>it's like you're at the ground level and so you

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.920
<v Speaker 2>don't have to tear something down to build it back up.

0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:14.560
<v Speaker 2>You're right at the point where you can just take off.

0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.360
<v Speaker 2>And so I think this is a perfect opportunity and

0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.599
<v Speaker 2>you should look at it like that. And I think

0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:22.480
<v Speaker 2>that reframing of mindset is going to help you excel.

0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:26.760
<v Speaker 1>Can you imagine your daughter, some or one of them

0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:30.320
<v Speaker 1>someday like being in a similar situation. And it's almost

0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:33.320
<v Speaker 1>like when people ask questions, now, I try to picture

0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:36.360
<v Speaker 1>my own kid in their shoes, and I can I

0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.760
<v Speaker 1>almost feel a little bit excited for I mean, I

0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.320
<v Speaker 1>don't have a daughter, but Rio, I feel almost excited

0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:44.760
<v Speaker 1>for him to have these kind of like existential crossroads

0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:45.679
<v Speaker 1>moments in his life.

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:46.960
<v Speaker 3>Yes, it's not.

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Just so like no matter what generation you're part of,

0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:50.880
<v Speaker 1>like everyone has this moment.

0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:52.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:55.599
<v Speaker 1>So she's moved from Tech, she's moved back to Texas

0:06:56.040 --> 0:07:02.600
<v Speaker 1>from Louisiana, so very Beyonce of you, and and she's

0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 1>saying it's gone downhill poorly, And there's something that happens

0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:13.240
<v Speaker 1>in transitions and I want to it doesn't. And there's

0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:15.120
<v Speaker 1>something that I think that happens too with like our

0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 1>vision of how a transition will go, Like if I

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.440
<v Speaker 1>just moved here, or if I just start this new job,

0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:22.560
<v Speaker 1>then on the other side of that it will be

0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:26.560
<v Speaker 1>like change will be, change will happen, and things will

0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:28.640
<v Speaker 1>start going my way, and like I just need to

0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:30.200
<v Speaker 1>take the steps and make the move. And that is

0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:35.600
<v Speaker 1>very much true, but the you have to sometimes journey

0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:39.960
<v Speaker 1>through some muck once you make that transition. And I

0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:43.120
<v Speaker 1>actually I was having a conversation with y'all know why

0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:46.280
<v Speaker 1>I joined the iHeart Network back in March, and it's

0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:50.360
<v Speaker 1>been four months now, and I've been really like trying

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:53.240
<v Speaker 1>to be patient with like some of the changes and

0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:55.280
<v Speaker 1>everything is fine, and I love working with them on

0:07:55.320 --> 0:08:00.600
<v Speaker 1>the whole, but I myself have had to like have

0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.880
<v Speaker 1>the same conversation with you make a big change, you

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.360
<v Speaker 1>and you do it for the right reasons, but there's

0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:11.760
<v Speaker 1>still a growth, Like there's still an uphill journey after

0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:14.320
<v Speaker 1>you make such a big change to get to know

0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:16.600
<v Speaker 1>a new environment, get to know new people, get to

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.880
<v Speaker 1>know the new workings of things, and just to have

0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:23.200
<v Speaker 1>some patience with that I think we're a little impatient.

0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:25.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean that goes without saying we're all so impatient,

0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.920
<v Speaker 1>but give yourself a little bit of patience. I feel

0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:34.440
<v Speaker 1>like to go through this yucky phase, this awkward transition phase.

0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:37.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's like you go natural and then for

0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:41.319
<v Speaker 1>the next what how long does an awkward transition phase go? Three?

0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Four years?

0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but it feels like it feels like taking steps backwards.

0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.640
<v Speaker 2>And sometimes it's okay to take step backwards.

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 1>To go forward.

0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:53.600
<v Speaker 2>You know a lot, but a lot of people just

0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.680
<v Speaker 2>aren't comfortable in that space. And the more you're able

0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:58.760
<v Speaker 2>to lean into that and understand that that's part of

0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:00.720
<v Speaker 2>the journey, the easier is for you.

0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:02.800
<v Speaker 1>When she says, I'd love to walk away from the

0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.040
<v Speaker 1>nine to five life for good, wouldn't we all?

0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:07.959
<v Speaker 3>But also you twenty eight and if you don't have a.

0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Trust fund, and if you don't have you know, a

0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:13.800
<v Speaker 1>bunch of money in the bank already, it takes time

0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:16.079
<v Speaker 1>to earn and to build, and especially if you're trying

0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:18.480
<v Speaker 1>to do that as an entrepreneur. And I think the

0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:20.600
<v Speaker 1>problem is I almost I don't even without saying it,

0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:22.880
<v Speaker 1>I feel like you're on social media too much. Because

0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:25.440
<v Speaker 1>if you just get off social media and you just

0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:27.760
<v Speaker 1>go to work, earn your coins and you focus on

0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:31.360
<v Speaker 1>building your business, it will take probably five to ten years.

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:34.320
<v Speaker 1>But like you can build something, you can walk away

0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:36.160
<v Speaker 1>from the nine to five life. But I think being

0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.680
<v Speaker 1>on social you'll see other people doing it or looking

0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.440
<v Speaker 1>like they're doing it, having a bunch of followers talking

0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:44.320
<v Speaker 1>about beauty or being a holistic health influencer, and you're

0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:47.600
<v Speaker 1>comparing yourself to them. But that's just not realistic and

0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:50.200
<v Speaker 1>it's not the journey that you know. Maybe is like

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.120
<v Speaker 1>the journey that you're on, and you need time to

0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.040
<v Speaker 1>build that and to be able to break from the

0:09:56.120 --> 0:10:00.880
<v Speaker 1>nine to five grind. And I can absolutely see myself

0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:06.280
<v Speaker 1>telling Rio someday like, boy, you can't whatever if it'll

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.800
<v Speaker 1>be like a hologram by then or whatever kind of

0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:12.120
<v Speaker 1>like AI bought, he'll be comparing himself too.

0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:12.760
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:17.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh, but yeah, you have to just take your I

0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:19.240
<v Speaker 1>take your eye off everyone else and what and even

0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.480
<v Speaker 1>your even the vision of yourself that you were comparing

0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:25.360
<v Speaker 1>yourself to right and make peace with like where you're

0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:26.120
<v Speaker 1>at right now.

0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:26.920
<v Speaker 3>And I think.

0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.559
<v Speaker 1>I think things will start to work out. But it

0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:35.520
<v Speaker 1>just will be slow, slow, small little things working out. First,

0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:38.600
<v Speaker 1>if you get the nice apartment, but you still hate

0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:39.319
<v Speaker 1>the job.

0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:41.640
<v Speaker 2>But the apartment's nice, and then you get.

0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:43.000
<v Speaker 3>A little bit of coins in your account.

0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.400
<v Speaker 1>Hey, ba fam, we gotta take a quick break, pay

0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:51.000
<v Speaker 1>some bills, and we'll be right back. All right, ba fam,

0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:53.000
<v Speaker 1>We're back. Has he meant anything else? Do you want

0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:53.440
<v Speaker 1>to add?

0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.840
<v Speaker 2>No? I just think don't like, don't sleep on the

0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:57.560
<v Speaker 2>nine to five and where I can get you because

0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:00.440
<v Speaker 2>it just brings the the boat a little bit closer

0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:02.199
<v Speaker 2>to the dock and then you can jump.

0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:04.319
<v Speaker 3>So oh I like that analogy.

0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, brings a boat a little bit closer to the

0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:08.640
<v Speaker 1>dock and then you can jump.

0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:10.160
<v Speaker 3>I love that.

0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:13.480
<v Speaker 1>So you say that you have a registered business, but

0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:15.800
<v Speaker 1>you don't feel like you know what to do with

0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.840
<v Speaker 1>it and you can't pick a path. The fact that

0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:22.080
<v Speaker 1>you've registered yourself as a business, and hopefully you registered

0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:24.240
<v Speaker 1>it in the state where you're operating as a business.

0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:26.640
<v Speaker 1>I know you said you move from Louisiana back to Texas,

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.800
<v Speaker 1>but either way, it's not that hard. The fact that

0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.839
<v Speaker 1>you've registered is great. I mean, you've done You've taken

0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:36.600
<v Speaker 1>a step, and for me, that is. Sometimes it's funny.

0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.880
<v Speaker 1>I'll talk to women who have done everything but register

0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:41.760
<v Speaker 1>themselves as a business. So they're not able to take

0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:43.400
<v Speaker 1>care of take like they're not able to get a

0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:46.920
<v Speaker 1>business account, any business bank accounts, big business credit. They're

0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:50.800
<v Speaker 1>not able to like apply for grants or even properly

0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:55.640
<v Speaker 1>invoice people, you know, as a as a business. And

0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:57.960
<v Speaker 1>but they'll have the business, they'll have clients, they'll have

0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:01.640
<v Speaker 1>like a website and you know, a business card, all

0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.480
<v Speaker 1>that kind of stuff. And then I have entrepreneurs like

0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:08.640
<v Speaker 1>you who have done that that administrative step of starting

0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:13.000
<v Speaker 1>a business, but actually haven't created like any business revenue

0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.920
<v Speaker 1>yet or a business plan or you know, put together

0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:17.880
<v Speaker 1>an idea of what you're going to actually produce and

0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 1>put out there in the world. And neither of those

0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:23.760
<v Speaker 1>paths is incorrect. But we need to find we need

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:27.800
<v Speaker 1>to we need to merge them. You've done the paperwork

0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:31.199
<v Speaker 1>side of things. Now as far as picking a path

0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:34.480
<v Speaker 1>in your business and actually knowing what to do with it,

0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:36.280
<v Speaker 1>just pick something.

0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:38.360
<v Speaker 3>Pick a thing. You say you love beauty, you love

0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:39.079
<v Speaker 3>holistic health.

0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:42.400
<v Speaker 1>I love what Nasima said about, you know, really focusing

0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.800
<v Speaker 1>in on one POV one niche or a niche for

0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:50.760
<v Speaker 1>you to be known for. Just pick one and stop

0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.040
<v Speaker 1>telling yourself that you only have to pick one for

0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:55.079
<v Speaker 1>the rest of your life. You're twenty eight years old,

0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:58.520
<v Speaker 1>You're so young, and you have so much time. You

0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:02.480
<v Speaker 1>can pick holistic health and put your all into that

0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:07.000
<v Speaker 1>for the next year, two, three, four, five years and

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.320
<v Speaker 1>build up your audience, build up your reputation, build up

0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:13.679
<v Speaker 1>your authority in the space, build your client base. If

0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:15.840
<v Speaker 1>you're going to be selling something, I don't know, but

0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:18.360
<v Speaker 1>you can be doing that in holistic health. You can

0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:20.959
<v Speaker 1>still have a love for beauty, right You can still

0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:23.000
<v Speaker 1>post a little bit on the side about beauty if

0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:25.840
<v Speaker 1>you want to, or explore it, or educate yourself more

0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:29.560
<v Speaker 1>on the beauty space. Nothing has to stop that from happening.

0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.440
<v Speaker 1>And then if you decide I've done everything I can

0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.319
<v Speaker 1>do with holistic health, I want to switch it up

0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.120
<v Speaker 1>and talk about beauty or focus my business more on

0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:38.880
<v Speaker 1>the beauty space.

0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:41.559
<v Speaker 3>That may be.

0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Easier to do than what you're thinking. It may feel

0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.439
<v Speaker 1>like a huge leap and a huge jump. Well, how

0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:48.840
<v Speaker 1>can I do beauty if I go all in on

0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.360
<v Speaker 1>holistic health? I could think of a thousand ways right now,

0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:53.920
<v Speaker 1>just sitting here, how those two things are intertwined. So

0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:58.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm not totally worried about you creating authority and expertise

0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:02.600
<v Speaker 1>in the holistic health space and potentially sacrificing that by

0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:05.160
<v Speaker 1>then pivoting into the beauty space later on down the road.

0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:08.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh absolutely not. I mean I'm thinking about Tabitha Brown

0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:11.240
<v Speaker 1>for example. First of all, that girl like tab that girl,

0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:14.760
<v Speaker 1>that woman that everything, that queen. You know, she goes viral.

0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:16.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about a vegan sandwich and the Whole Foods

0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:20.160
<v Speaker 1>parking lot while working while doing Uber right. Then she

0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:22.760
<v Speaker 1>starts with where does Tabitha Brown start with?

0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:23.160
<v Speaker 2>God?

0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:27.280
<v Speaker 1>She starts with cooking content. I believe she's cooking. She's

0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:30.360
<v Speaker 1>going all in as a vegan cook and she does

0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:34.400
<v Speaker 1>vegan recipes, She writes a memoir, she gets her book

0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:37.360
<v Speaker 1>or sorry, she gets the deal with Target where she

0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:41.480
<v Speaker 1>starts creating vegan vegan foods and a line of vegan

0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:45.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, food and cookware at Target. And then she

0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:49.600
<v Speaker 1>comes out with Donna's recipe, her haircurr line. Then she

0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:54.120
<v Speaker 1>goes and creates her kid series tab Time, you know,

0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:58.080
<v Speaker 1>with YouTube. She has all these different businesses, lines of

0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:01.240
<v Speaker 1>business that are thriving, but she starting with one. She

0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:04.880
<v Speaker 1>is tabitha Brown Vegan. I mean, it's hard to just

0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.560
<v Speaker 1>call her a vegan food influencer because she's also Tabatha

0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:11.040
<v Speaker 1>the Brown. She's also just like a spiritual influencer. And

0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:16.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, human soothing machine for the world, but

0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:18.720
<v Speaker 1>she started out in that way and then she continued

0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:20.960
<v Speaker 1>branching out. And I just want you to feel less.

0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:23.800
<v Speaker 1>You're putting too much pressure on yourself to in the

0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:25.200
<v Speaker 1>sense of like I got to pick one and be

0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:26.640
<v Speaker 1>done in forever, and this is the one I've picked.

0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:28.200
<v Speaker 1>This is the only kind of business I can ever have.

0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Try something, try it and either fly or fail quickly,

0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:37.800
<v Speaker 1>and try something different. Gotta stop being so afraid to

0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:40.440
<v Speaker 1>try something new because you're afraid that it means you

0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:42.800
<v Speaker 1>may fail at it. Yeah, you might fail at it,

0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:46.120
<v Speaker 1>but you're never gonna know until you try. And the biggest,

0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:48.320
<v Speaker 1>the best piece of advice I can give any entrepreneur

0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:51.840
<v Speaker 1>or just anyone in life in general, is fail fast

0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:52.920
<v Speaker 1>and move on.

0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:56.520
<v Speaker 3>Embrace the fail don't even like you have to stop.

0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:58.640
<v Speaker 1>We have to stop thinking about failure as if it's

0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:02.040
<v Speaker 1>something to avoid. Part of the journey. It's something to embrace.

0:16:02.200 --> 0:16:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Like I came home from a week away in Georgia,

0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:06.960
<v Speaker 1>and I came home and I saw what my vegetables

0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:10.920
<v Speaker 1>have been doing. Have I what's been thriving? What's been

0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:13.520
<v Speaker 1>taken over by cabbage worms? God damn it, I hate

0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:17.760
<v Speaker 1>those things. What has been you know, which squash is

0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:19.640
<v Speaker 1>doing well? So the squash got too much, so that

0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:23.160
<v Speaker 1>squash was being overcrowded by the tomatoes. Like I am

0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:26.320
<v Speaker 1>learning every day how to fail in my space, you know,

0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.560
<v Speaker 1>trying to grow my own food. And I think our

0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:31.600
<v Speaker 1>careers are very similar, Like let's just get through the

0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:35.320
<v Speaker 1>failures quickly. I've been doing Mandy Money. I started out

0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:37.920
<v Speaker 1>with Mandy Money in twenty twenty one when I you know,

0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.960
<v Speaker 1>I was always doing the podcast, but when I wanted

0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:43.560
<v Speaker 1>to branch out with my own business. Because remember, at

0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.000
<v Speaker 1>the time Brown Ambition was my I was co running

0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.960
<v Speaker 1>that with my former co host Tiffany, and so Tiffany

0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:50.760
<v Speaker 1>and I were fifty to fifty business partners, so it

0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:53.600
<v Speaker 1>never really felt like Brown Ambition was entirely mine. So

0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:56.320
<v Speaker 1>when I started my own business in twenty twenty one,

0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I left nine to five. I said I want to

0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:02.760
<v Speaker 1>do something on my own, and I chose negotiation slash

0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:03.560
<v Speaker 1>career coaching.

0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:06.080
<v Speaker 3>So for me, that was about and I can do

0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:06.879
<v Speaker 3>a bunch of things.

0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:11.040
<v Speaker 1>But I really loved and enjoyed talking about negotiation and

0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:15.679
<v Speaker 1>job seeking advice. And also I listened to what my

0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:17.840
<v Speaker 1>audience was telling me that they wanted. And I was

0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:21.040
<v Speaker 1>getting a lot of questions about negotiating and looking for

0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:25.080
<v Speaker 1>a new job and you know, networking and leveraging relationships

0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:28.160
<v Speaker 1>into career opportunities. And I was like, bet, I want

0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:30.600
<v Speaker 1>to focus on that. And I did that, and I

0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:33.840
<v Speaker 1>did it really hard, and for a time that was amazing.

0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:38.159
<v Speaker 1>And then the economy shifted. Things start changing. Now the

0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:42.000
<v Speaker 1>job market is a lot tighter. Everyone's not getting opportunities

0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:44.679
<v Speaker 1>to negotiate. They certainly are not getting as many opportunities

0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:47.199
<v Speaker 1>to negotiate as they were back in the summers of

0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:49.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two, and even into twenty

0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:53.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty three, and things got tighter, and all of a sudden,

0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:56.240
<v Speaker 1>I was feeling as if I was failing in a

0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:58.760
<v Speaker 1>way because I'm like, oh, opportunities for me are not

0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:01.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, they're not as lucrative. You know, I'm selling

0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:03.720
<v Speaker 1>the same things that we're doing really well back in

0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:06.399
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two, they're not selling as

0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:10.000
<v Speaker 1>great anymore. I need to be trying something different, and

0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:11.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to lie and say that it didn't

0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:14.480
<v Speaker 1>get to me. And I didn't have those moments where

0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:16.520
<v Speaker 1>I was feeling really down on myself and kind of

0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:19.160
<v Speaker 1>feeling like, oh am, I just screwing this all up,

0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:21.399
<v Speaker 1>like do I really have what it takes? But I

0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:24.159
<v Speaker 1>got over it and I kept moving and I had to.

0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:28.520
<v Speaker 1>I had to shift my mindset to accept the fact

0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:31.679
<v Speaker 1>that failure is almost a guaranteed aspect of being a

0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:36.359
<v Speaker 1>business owner. Failure is almost guaranteed failure in some regards.

0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:39.000
<v Speaker 1>It's up to us to decide if it's going to

0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:41.840
<v Speaker 1>be a failure period or a failure dot dot dot

0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:45.440
<v Speaker 1>or a failure comma or whatever grammatical punctuation makes sense

0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:48.440
<v Speaker 1>for this really weird metaphor that I just came up with.

0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:50.480
<v Speaker 3>But what's that.

0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Story going to be like for you, Serena. I think

0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:57.240
<v Speaker 1>you deserve to have an opportunity to try something, and

0:18:57.280 --> 0:19:01.560
<v Speaker 1>I think you deserve to have an opportunit unity to

0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:03.520
<v Speaker 1>take your business and see what you can make of it.

0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:06.720
<v Speaker 1>You may start your business in holistic health then decide

0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:08.720
<v Speaker 1>that you really don't like it anyway. Maybe you like

0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:11.679
<v Speaker 1>to read about it and watch other influencers and you know,

0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:13.800
<v Speaker 1>or what, I don't know exactly what kind of work

0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:15.320
<v Speaker 1>you want to do in holistic health, but maybe you

0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:17.800
<v Speaker 1>just really enjoy it. But then when you start doing that,

0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:23.560
<v Speaker 1>you realize, oh, I don't want to do this all day. Hey, bafam,

0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:26.120
<v Speaker 1>we got to take a quick break, pay some bills

0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:29.359
<v Speaker 1>and we'll be right back. All right, bafam, we're back.

0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:29.920
<v Speaker 3>And I will say.

0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:32.119
<v Speaker 1>The thing about leaving nine to five people need to

0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:34.000
<v Speaker 1>know more about is when you leave a nine to

0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:36.879
<v Speaker 1>five and you start your own business, you have another

0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:40.040
<v Speaker 1>nine to five like in fact, it's even worse than

0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:43.360
<v Speaker 1>a nine to five in some ways, because yes, you're

0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:45.119
<v Speaker 1>your own boss, you have freedom all of that, but

0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:48.159
<v Speaker 1>you also have bills, you have taxes. You have and

0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:50.520
<v Speaker 1>can I say taxes again for the girls in back.

0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:53.560
<v Speaker 1>You have to find your own clients. You have to

0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:55.439
<v Speaker 1>be your social media, you got to be your marketing,

0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:57.720
<v Speaker 1>You got to be your business analyst, you got to

0:19:57.720 --> 0:19:59.520
<v Speaker 1>be your own accountant. You know, you have to build

0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:03.880
<v Speaker 1>those things up and that is very all consuming, time

0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:07.159
<v Speaker 1>consuming work. Now you're twenty eight years old, you have energy,

0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:08.960
<v Speaker 1>you have time on your side. I'm like, this is

0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:10.320
<v Speaker 1>the best time to try it out. If you were

0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:12.800
<v Speaker 1>going to try it and keep your nine to five,

0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:17.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, for the insurance, for the quote unquote stability

0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:20.320
<v Speaker 1>that having that additional income can can offer you, and

0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:22.679
<v Speaker 1>just get out there and try something new. And like

0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:25.159
<v Speaker 1>I said, you can always change your mind down the line.

0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:28.679
<v Speaker 1>And I'll wrap it up by just reiterating that I

0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:31.160
<v Speaker 1>want you to give yourself grace. You just got back

0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:35.560
<v Speaker 1>home to Texas from leaving Louisiana, and I know it's

0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:38.080
<v Speaker 1>been a year, and we tend to do that to ourselves.

0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:40.080
<v Speaker 1>We'll look at the calendar and say, oh, it's been

0:20:40.119 --> 0:20:42.959
<v Speaker 1>a year. I should have been here by now. I

0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:44.840
<v Speaker 1>wish I would have done this by now. I can't

0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:48.720
<v Speaker 1>believe I haven't done this by now. Stop it. I'm

0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:49.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna tell you what I told my two year old

0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:51.280
<v Speaker 1>this morning when he was trying to cry about going

0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:54.080
<v Speaker 1>to daycare. Is zipit zipit? Nope, nop, nope, We're not

0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:56.640
<v Speaker 1>doing that. It's only been a year.

0:20:56.760 --> 0:20:57.160
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

0:20:57.480 --> 0:21:00.679
<v Speaker 1>It takes time to transition. You are acclimate yourself to

0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:03.840
<v Speaker 1>a new environment. It sounds like you've had struggle, you know,

0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:06.720
<v Speaker 1>needing a new car, getting a place, building up your savings.

0:21:06.760 --> 0:21:10.679
<v Speaker 1>Give yourself grace, give yourself time to acclimate, and just

0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:15.880
<v Speaker 1>try to appreciate where you are exactly when you are

0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:18.959
<v Speaker 1>in that space right now. I'm really proud of you

0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:22.720
<v Speaker 1>for uprooting yourself and moving to a whole different state.

0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:26.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that takes guts, and it takes some bravery,

0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:28.680
<v Speaker 1>and if it was easy, everybody and their mama will

0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:31.440
<v Speaker 1>be out here doing it. Okay, So you took a risk.

0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:35.280
<v Speaker 1>I want you to give yourself grace, and I really

0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:37.920
<v Speaker 1>am grateful for you for giving me a chance to

0:21:37.960 --> 0:21:39.720
<v Speaker 1>pour into you a little bit and sending your question

0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:42.000
<v Speaker 1>in Serena and I hope be a fam If you're

0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:45.159
<v Speaker 1>listening to this, you'll send your questions into Brandnambission Podcast

0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:46.600
<v Speaker 1>at gmail dot com.

0:21:46.680 --> 0:21:47.920
<v Speaker 3>So we can pour into y'all.

0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Because I know some of the questions are not all

0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:52.920
<v Speaker 1>cut and dry. It's not oh, I have this much

0:21:52.920 --> 0:21:55.080
<v Speaker 1>dead and this much savings. Honestly, those questions are a

0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:58.320
<v Speaker 1>little bit more boring. These questions, like what you're going

0:21:58.320 --> 0:22:01.000
<v Speaker 1>through Serena. They really remind me of how important it

0:22:01.040 --> 0:22:04.199
<v Speaker 1>is to say what's on our spirits out loud and

0:22:04.240 --> 0:22:07.600
<v Speaker 1>really share the struggles that we're having, the existential struggles

0:22:07.640 --> 0:22:10.600
<v Speaker 1>that we're having, because when you share them, you realize

0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:15.000
<v Speaker 1>how not how common, but how many other people are

0:22:15.040 --> 0:22:17.080
<v Speaker 1>going through something similar, who have come out on the

0:22:17.119 --> 0:22:20.119
<v Speaker 1>other side of something similar, and can really help you

0:22:20.119 --> 0:22:23.040
<v Speaker 1>feel seen and just validate exactly what you're feeling, which

0:22:23.080 --> 0:22:25.399
<v Speaker 1>is what I'm trying to do with you right now.

0:22:26.000 --> 0:22:28.760
<v Speaker 1>And ba fam, if you're someone who understands what Serena

0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:30.639
<v Speaker 1>is going through, or if you have been through a

0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:34.159
<v Speaker 1>similar situation, will you email me Brand Ambition Podcasts at

0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:37.080
<v Speaker 1>gmail dot com or dm me at Brand Ambition podcast

0:22:37.119 --> 0:22:40.400
<v Speaker 1>on ig so that I can share those messages with Serena,

0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:42.879
<v Speaker 1>because I think our girl, Serena needs to know that

0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:46.800
<v Speaker 1>she's not alone and that there is a community of

0:22:47.000 --> 0:22:51.000
<v Speaker 1>incredible people out there, incredible women who are sharing in

0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:53.760
<v Speaker 1>that experience and want to send some support and some

0:22:53.920 --> 0:22:57.480
<v Speaker 1>live just like I do. All Right, I'm wishing you

0:22:57.560 --> 0:23:00.080
<v Speaker 1>all the best. Thank you so much again for sending

0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:03.320
<v Speaker 1>your question in Serena. If I can think of anything else,

0:23:03.400 --> 0:23:06.439
<v Speaker 1>I'll hit you up in your email, because yes, I

0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:08.959
<v Speaker 1>do read every single email that y'all send me, and

<v Speaker 1>I respond to them a little.

0:23:10.400 --> 0:23:11.160
<v Speaker 3>I have no chill.

0:23:11.400 --> 0:23:13.879
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes I'll respond almost immediately and I know it's weird,

0:23:13.920 --> 0:23:15.879
<v Speaker 1>but I don't care. Why should I be cool and

0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:17.400
<v Speaker 1>pretend like I'm not on my email all the time?

0:23:17.440 --> 0:23:20.840
