PERSONAL STORY...
When I was very little, I tried to sell painted rocks.
In primary school, I would buy lollipops before class and sell them for double at lunch time.
I realised that I didn't have to be the one doing all the work, and I could hire people to perform the services while I kept the business busy using online marketing such as social media & our website.
By the time I was 25 I had 3 stores, 9 staff, 3 mobile services, my own wholesale product range of tanning solution and hair extensions, and I didn't work in the business at all.
I ran it all from home or from anywhere else I wanted to.
Now that all sounds great right? But I actually experienced possibly everything that could go wrong in that time...
Including being lied to, stolen from, having my entire business ripped off, making ALL the mistakes as a "boss" before I learned how to become a good leader... and even struggling with depression and the extreme highs and lows that come with being a creative entrepreneur.
(I call it BUSINESS BI-POLAR)
But I kept going, I learnt from each "failure" and continued to improve, systemise, delegate and build a system that allowed the business to continue running without me in it. I’m not a quitter, and I’m too stubborn to give up on achieving all the things I want to achieve in my life.
There came a point when I realised that many other business owners I came across wanted to know HOW I had used social media marketing to keep my business growing quickly, and how I had set up the business to run without me in it. I literally didn’t know that it wasn’t something that everyone else knew how to do too...
So in 2014 I started coaching and teaching, and now I help business owners double or triple their businesses with social media marketing, and also set up their businesses to run without them.
I also run a Facebook mastermind group called "Coffee With Carissa" which is full of other obsessed, high achieving, creative entrepreneurs who are all out to build wildly successful businesses and lives for themselves.
