This week I sat down with Danielle Lazenis to talk about her transition from a 9-5 to being self-employed. Dani is a full-time content creator/ influencer – which is a job that often gets a bad reputation, even though most of us follow influencers. We talk about what being a content creator actually means, whether it's an easy job or not (you know how every influencer says their job is hard and every non-influencer laughs at them), and what I was most interested in: how Dani managed to transition from having a 9-5 job to taking her life into her own control, and whether it was worth it.
We cover:
- Why a fashion influencer?
- Making 1% improvements/ marginal gains
- Whether manifestation is real
- How to set goals and actually achieve them !!
Thanks so much for listening again with me! If you enjoyed this episode, share it with a friend who you think might like it too!! :)
