What dream are you currently turning into reality?
I’m currently in the process of growing my own luxury marketing agency! I have a few clients in the Atlanta area that I manage digital marketing strategies for, and am hoping to make it my full-time job this year.
When did you first realize you discovered your dream?
I actually had a major switch up in my career path. For most of my life, I wanted to be a professional ballerina, and was well on my way to making it to the professional level! I ended up having a foot injury at my dream ballet school, and was devastated at the time. I would have needed foot surgery to go back into a ballet company!
My dad has worked in marketing for most of his life, and in order to help cheer me up, he allowed me to shadow him on some marketing projects he was working on at his own job. This helped me realize there was more to life than just dance, and that I could be really good at helping companies with their marketing strategies.
How does your faith go hand in hand with pursuing your dream?
I think my faith has helped me in the process of having my own agency by keeping me grounded. Sometimes, I get really worried that things won’t work out the way I want them to, but then I remember that I don’t have to worry!
When you believe God has your best interest at heart, and that He wants to help you accomplish your dreams, you can leave your worries behind and focus on the things that really matter.
What’s one or two practical steps you take to keep moving forward?
One thing that I have been trying to do on a daily basis is thinking of at least one positive thing that happened during the day before I go to bed. I would encourage you to do the same. Even if you had a really bad day, there is always something to be thankful for. It’s helpful to remember that.
What encouragement would you share with someone who’s going after their dream?
The best advice that I can give to anyone going after a dream is to take it day by day! Set realistic short-term goals to help you work up to your big goal, and try to accomplish a small piece of your short-term goals every day.
