What dream are you currently turning into reality?
I’m supporting companies (mostly in the automobile industry) in social media marketing. Now, I am turning my business into passive income and starting to host our first ever webinar.
When did you first realize you discovered your dream?
Everything started in my childhood - I was a fan of independence. I have always loved to work and wanted to start my own business. So, I studied and always gave my best. I lived and worked all over the world, and started to run my own company in the automotive industry.
This is where I learned to fight against loneliness in a men dominated sector. I also learned that you can only be successful if you are healthy and happy with what you do. There is nothing more beautiful than to enjoy your work, feeling good and sharing your story. Sharing is Caring!
How does your faith go hand in hand with pursuing your dream?
I always believe in God - Every step of mine is with Him. If something doesn’t go how I wanted, I’m sure He will always have something much better coming my way.
What are some practical steps you take to keep moving forward?
I create a plan for daily operations. I’m a firm believer in working smarter instead of harder. I set all my goals based on factors that I can control. Nothing can make you fail faster than setting a goal based on something you have no control over.
What encouragement would you give someone who’s going after their dream?
Always assume that it usually takes longer than expected, and be ready to adapt whenever necessary. I work very well under pressure, and for a while I thought I had to have “creative chaos” to be successful. But, I realized it’s not true. Plan, create, fail, and have fun - Plan again, create, and have more fun - That’s success.
