TMM PODCAST EPISODE 122: Never Give Up Your Dreams
It takes grit to have the kind of mindset that actors who go on an audition but don't get picked for the role and say, "I didn't look the right part" or "I wasn't the right age."
Then we elevate ourselves.
We talk about that in today's episode with Victoria Wieck who has built a multi-million dollar business with over $500 million in retail sales. She started her own company in 1989 on a shoestring budget to spend more time with her family and has founded several other successful businesses since then.
She's worked with a wide variety of retailers worldwide ranging from major department stores to duty-free stores, as well as Internet and TV retailers. For the past 23 years, Victoria has been sharing her jewelry designs with millions of viewers during her own monthly shows.
During the show we talk about Victoria's immigration to the US in the 1970's and why she started a business PLUS:
- The power of grit
- Interpreting the meaning of "No"
- Cultural stereotypes around women
- Starting a business with no money
- How to grow a brand without advertising
- The two quotes Victoria lives by
- The most powerful tool a small business can have
- The do-it-now strategy to turn your passion into profits
If you're thinking about starting a side hustle or you're into growing your business, tune in today and find out the secret to making money.
