Each person has their unique story, a story that inspires and a story that portrays their experiences that have led them to the point they are at now. I believe everything you go through is a learning process and whether it is a step in the right direction or a bump in the road, it propels you to where you need to be!

Being an entrepreneur brings about many blessings; meeting amazing people, doing what you love, being your own boss and having that freedom to achieve your desires. It also brings along obstacles that we have to overcome both personally, professionally, and financially.

NEVER STOP LEARNING

I have always enjoyed school and learning about different aspects of topics. No matter what age you are and where you are in life, you should never stop learning because that is when you stop growing. Study your passion, take a class in something that interests you or read a book on an interesting new topic! This allows you to grow and broaden your knowledge! For all my entrepreneurs out there master your craft and never stop learning it. This will allow you to become an expert in the field and really gain the trust of the people you work with. I will never forget the conversation I had one on one with Essie Weingarten (can I just input a quick squeal here at how awesome that was?). She told me that technology is constantly changing so you have to keep your mind open and change with the times! Be open to new opportunities and go with the flow!

BUILD LASTING RELATIONSHIPS

I can't even begin to describe how important this is. One of my favorite parts about being an entrepreneur is networking and building relationships with like-minded people. Whether it is a friend, a mentor, or a coach you will be blessed with newfound knowledge, a wonderful community and the ability to learn and share what you have learned with others. By being involved in Facebook groups, reaching out to those I want to collaborate with or learn from I have really gotten involved in the community and have built relationships that have not just landed me referrals and clients, but friendships that I know will last a lifetime which is priceless.

PUT OUT GOOD VIBES

Are you putting out good vibes to your audience? Put out good vibes and positivity and you will see it come back to you full circle. I know life isn't easy and it is easy to complain from time to time, but you have to motivate and inspire your audience. Share your story and let them know they are not alone. People will be attracted to your energy, so put your best foot forward and share your amazing vibes!

DON'T GET DISCOURAGED & PERSEVERE

The road of entrepreneurship is not an easy task. It is so easy to get discouraged and give up but I can tell you right now when you persevere through those hard times, you will have incredible breakthroughs and become stronger from your struggles. Every struggle you overcome allows you to learn and share your experience with others. I can't even tell you how many times I have wanted to throw in the towel and after sticking through it for a few days, have come out of that funk with a breakthrough idea that has led me to where I am now. My Dad always instilled in me to persevere no matter what. It has been my mantra word from day 1!

LET FAITH BE BIGGER THAN YOUR FEAR

Ever had something you wanted to accomplish but were to afraid to put yourself out there? Yep, we have all been there. You can't let fear stop you, go for your dreams and go outside of your comfort zone! Trust me, once you let faith be bigger than your fear you will start to see amazing things happen on the other side of fear. Go big or go home!

What have you learned through your journey as an entrepreneur?

Check out my last blog post about attracting your ideal tribe!

XO CALI

Who are you talking to? Who is apart of your online tribe?

You need to be crystal clear on who your ideal audience is to let them get the most value out of your blog and business.

Who is Cali Jae Designs tribe you may ask?

Our tribe is full of boss babe entrepreneurs who are passionate about life. They enjoy the little things and find joy and happiness all around them. Our tribe is full of fierce, fabulous, and fun women who's main goal is to create their empire to live the lifestyle they have always dreamed of! We enjoy building relationships that last and helping out our fellow female entrepreneurs. Whether we are hanging out at a cute little cafe, going on an adventure in the city or just casually browsing Pinterest for our next DIY idea, we are all building our brand. Building each other up and empowering one another to be better in not only our business but our everyday lives is a universal value among us!

Why do you enjoy working with these types of passionistas?

These women are some of the most influential, hard working and inspirational people I have ever met in my life. They persevere, never give up and are passionate about what they love. It is so motivating to be surrounded with people who think the same way as you and who share the same values which I think is essential in building relationships. Surround yourself with people who will lift you higher and inspire you!

How can you solve their problems?

As a brand stylist & strategist, I help my fellow boss babes bring their unique vision to life to re inspire them and help them succeed with their business goals. Part of building your tribe is all about attracting those who you can help and grow with. Some pain points that I help solve are needing help with attractive and recognizable branding, beautiful design elements that inspire and marketing strategies that work and get your business out there loud and clear!

I understand my tribe because I have been in their shoes before. I resonate with their struggles and through my experiences of starting and growing my own brand I am able to help other like minded individuals make the right choices and help guide them on the right track to stay focused.

What is the one message you hope people take away from your blog?

My main goal with my blog is to inspire and provide value that will help my fellow boss babes grow their business and input strategies and ideas that will get them excited about what they do! After coming to my website, I want them to be inspired and know they are not alone on this crazy journey.

Now I want you to go ask yourselves these questions and tell me in the comments below!
