Six Figure Success

Wondered why your pajamas are secretly sabotaging your work-from-home success?”

Yesterday, a friend questioned my habit of dressing up for remote work.

Influenced by my grandmothers wisdom,

Here's my perspective:

Suit up, show up - it's half the battle
Dress for your aspirations, even at home
Maintain professional mindset in your remote era

Key takeaway: Your presentation matters, especially to yourself. It signals
self-respect and professionalism.

Do you dress up for remote work? Share your thoughts!

Don’t make it about 6-pack abs… make it about being healthy, active, and strengthening your muscles.

I used to work till I burned out … regularly. Among peers this seemed like a badge of honor. But it is not.

AND - this is a bad example to set for ambitious students.

Working hard doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice sleep, diet, exercise, rest, and play.

As I joyfully start the latter half of my thirties, I'm happier, healthier, and harder-working than ever before. That's only thanks to maintaining my physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.

My health is not something I take for granted anymore and I urge you to take your health seriously. Moving your body helps clear your mind, increases blood flow, calms your nervous system, etc.

Self-care isn't just a "feel-good," "just for fun," or a "pamper yourself" once in a while kind of thing. Our professional and personal lives are driven by the same body and brain. Lets help each other take better care of them.

I'm thrilled to be at the NYU Hotel Investment Conference today. I remember my first time here when I got a scholarship during my master's studies. ✨

Scholarships aren't just about good grades. They're about telling your story and showing your passion and potential in a powerful essay. I was lucky to get several scholarships, all needing essays that really showed who I am and what I want to do.

Now, I want to help students and parents with college admissions. I want to make essay writing clearer and help every applicant confidently and honestly tell their own story. 🎓💼

👋 Excited to kick off my YouTube journey as a Career Coach and solopreneur!

I wanted to use this YouTube medium to share my very real and raw transition from corporate life to solopreneurship.

While I am only three years in, I can speak to many who are beginning to explore the idea of "doing their own thing." In response I'd like to share what my experience has really been like.

The highs and the lows, the success and many failures. It's my hope to look back a year from now and see how far I've come, as motivation to keep going!
