I JUST MADE IT TO FORBES 30 UNDER 30! This is your reminder that no goal is ever too "BIG". I've had this on my vision board since I turned 23. Even when I had nothing, I've always wanted everything. Even when I kept hearing "it's too late". Even when I heard "Linkedin isn't worth it".

Age 18: Couldn't speak in public. Had a stutter. Age 21: Couldn't pitch myself. Felt insecure. Age 23: Coudln't increase my prices. Felt expensive. Age 25: Built my first 6 figure business.

I'm hiring! Remote. Competitive Salary. No CV needed. We're turning my businesses into category leaders. I'm committed to this vision, and so are the teams. We're looking for a Customer Success Manager to join us helping people build and monetise their brand.

This is exactly why I became an entrepreneur. 6 months ago, I told my parents I'd retire them. Every month, I send $10k to support them. Which is crazy to think, because a few years ago $10k/mo was a milestone I didn't think I'd ever hit. See, building a business was never about getting rich.
