I was told I couldn’t make it in my career.
Let’s rewind – from working in hospitality, retail, events, music and undertaking multiple studies throughout my life, I never imagined I’d be where I am right now. This is a blog purely to inspire anyone who has been through the rough and needing to find that push to where you want to be. It is also about how 2 successful business owners and entrepreneurs believed in someone who got knocked back multiple times.
Graduating high school VCE was always an overwhelming feeling. The system pits you against other students, comparing who has the best grades and rewarding those who succeed – safe to say I wasn’t in the top tier. At this young age, I was told I couldn’t make it in my career, and I wanted nothing more than to prove that wrong with my hunger, persistence and drive.
I led myself on multiple pathways that saw me successfully attain a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing in 2019, and later a Digital Marketing certification. Needless to say my hunger outweighed the perception of others who said I couldn’t do something, and essentially, I’ve used that as my superpower to this day.
Throughout 2020, when the world went into a global pandemic. No work, no motivation, no energy to move, but only stay still. I set that aside and dove in deep. I treated my week days as though I was educating, working and upskilling myself using the time to only better my knowledge.
