My first 6 months as an entrepreneur were full of failures and rejections.
But the thing is, I didn’t let those failures hold me back.
I just focused on DOING.
The problem: Nothing changed
In retrospect, it was because I:
❌ didn’t know how to price my services
❌ was blindly creating content that wasn't converting
❌ and reached out to anyone and everyone about my coaching without a set of criteria
Then I made some changes.
1️⃣ I hired a business coach
Who helped me:
💡 Tailor my coaching programme and curriculum
💡 Decide on reasonable prices for my services
💡 Refine my strategy for finding clients
Within two months of investing in a business coach, I got my first client.
2️⃣ I leveraged social media
My first clients found me through platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, and my podcast Ctrl Alt Career
Closing a client on a call begins long before the conversation.
With consistent content, I could:
🤝 Build trust,
🤝 showcase expertise, and
🤝 foster a connection with my audience
People needed to discover me, resonate with me and recognize my authenticity
And from there, with a bit more direction and a lot of consistency, it got me to where I am today.
So if you’re interested in starting a business in the midst of your current job, let me know.
I’ve helped clients from Vanguard, ByteDance, Citibank, and more discover themselves and craft a career path perfect for them.
I’d love to see how I can help you too.
