Life is too short to be doing something you hate and living someone else's dream.

Maple Photography Co.

Just a few years ago I was working a 9-5 office job, feeling exhausted, overworked and completely uninspired. I thought I had landed my dream job, but like so many of us, that "dream" turned into a ladder-climbing nightmare. 

I needed a change, but I knew in order for that to happen, I would need to take the next step on my own and change myself.

That is when I found the courage to quit my comfortable, steady-paying office job and dive head first into being a full-time content creator. Little did I know that it would be my one-way ticket out of the mundane ladder-climbing corporate world, to being my own boss, building my empire and helping others do the very same thing.

Full disclosure, this didn't just happen overnight. Some things worked and some things definitely did not work. I messed up, fell down a few times, but I got back up, persevered and kept going.  After a lot of hard work I began to attract the attention of brands and clients.

Whether it was waking up and getting an email from Nissan USA asking if they could pay to fly me down to Napa Valley and help with the launch of their new Eco Leaf car, to being head-hunted by Amazon directly to help them establish and grow their new social media platform (which ended up turning into a 2 year gig), to being paid to go on influencer retreats.

Click here for a recap of one of my all-time favorite retreats, when Disney flew both me and my photographer friend to their Moana Hawaiian Hotel for a 4 day-luxury health and wellness retreat to help promote their spa and health and wellness offerings, because a Disney hotel is not normally the first place you'd think of. Pretty cool, right?!

After working and collaborating with hundreds of brands,  I now teach all my tips and tricks to my students, to help them build their influence and grow their brand all by leveraging the power of social media. As you can see by my story, you don't need to have millions of followers to pursue what you want to do. You just need to start and take action, even if it's baby steps at first. 

So what lights me up?

Helping people realize their gifts is pretty spectacular, that their talent can transform other people’s lives and that they can build a pretty amazing life in the process (from anywhere in the world, even in  pjs.)

This all happened because i took ownership of my life. I pursued my dreams and refused to settle for anything less.

We live in a digital era where building a business has never been more accessible and opportunity is literally everywhere. No one should settle for anything other than doing work that lights them up and earning an amazing income because of it.
