Hey fellow dreamers, I’m your serial entrepreneur who’s danced with not one, not two, but 11 businesses! I’ve been through the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Today, I’m sharing snippets from my journey and how mastering different skills can supercharge your entrepreneurial path. Let’s dive in!

**2. Social Media Consultant:** Oh, the thrill of those first 1000 followers! I have left this side of business as didn’t see much return for the time and investment.

**3. SEO and Digital Ad Consultant:** It wasn’t all rosy. My first client’s website took months to rank. But once it did, they went from the 10th page obscurity to the 1st page limelight. Perseverance was the name of the game. If you can learn this it’s an amazing skill and highly profitable (Unfortunately I no longer have a Google ads account due to suspension however still run Facebook and other PPC advertising)

**7. Pet Sitting:** A venture close to my heart. Once, a friends parrot wouldn’t stop singing “Happy Birthday” after a week with me. Trust me; it wasn’t anyone’s birthday! $20 per day…
