If you read my first blog post, you'll know two things (and more, but let's focus on the two I'm about to outline).
I turn 30 this month; and
I said I'd blog daily for the 30 days of November.
It is the 3rd day and this is my second blog post - sorry not sorry?
This year (basically covid year too) has been such a rollercoaster for many - allow me to focus on myself for the rest of your reading :).
I began building my Lashanti the Siren brand in the summer of 2019, starting with my web show Siren Sundays. I jumped into this with one eye cracked open and head first.
I suck with technology, so how am I suppose to create, produce, host and edit a web show?
Easy, just go live and just go with it! After a few months, I landed my first big (and regional) contract.
I was technically profitable at 5 months - WHOA!
Boy was that some steam in my engine, on top of my amazing guests sacrificing their Sunday afternoons to chop it up with me and my few, but true, loyal viewers. THANK YOU!
Throughout this year, I learnt that consistency is so important for gaining traction with anything (yes apply this to anything in your life). Put the time, focus and energy into it and you will get results - shameless plug here for Coach Lakeem at Apex Fitness who I trained with for like 7 months, 3x a week; you have to show up and do the work, no matter how little. The best results DO NOT come overnight. There is no such thing as an overnight hit, these people have been putting in the work, consistently (most of the time) for a long time.
Luck is when opportunity meets preparation
or whatever that saying is, you don't have to get ready if you stay ready! He prompted me to share this blog and continue to do it - some of the best coaches are your friends too :)
So I leave with this, whatever that idea is: use it before you lose it.
