Getting it Write with Tyla Hansen

Imagine, if you have to, having a career that allows you to encapsulate pretty much all of your interests. Most of us aren't that lucky, right? Well, Deja Tyla, founder of Tyla's Writing Services, is that lucky! With a background in project management and information technology, Deja was able to marry her interests in writing and business management with her company, which helps businesses meet their business goals by offering them assistance with things like interview preparation, resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and so much more. Tyla's Writing Services also works with small businesses that are just getting started and might need those extra resources to get their names out there.

Deja shares her Freed story with us, sharing, for example, how she always saw herself as a leader and as someone who stood up for what was important to her, and with writing and business management being interests of hers, she founded Tyla's Writing Services. In addition to sharing her story with us, she is also kind enough to offer some advice. She suggests that it's very important that you're having fun and enjoying what you're doing or else you're just going to burn out, and she also stresses how crucial that it is to never stop being eager to learn even after you have finished your schooling and/or training. She also offers some advice to those who might be experiencing the often talked about loneliness that sometimes goes hand-in-hand with entrepreneurship – encouraging us to surround ourselves with like-minded professionals who can be support systems for us.

Deja reflects a little bit on the past and also shares what she hopes to accomplish with her company in the future. She even explains what has driven her over the years and what has helped her through making the jump to entrepreneurship! Be sure to connect with Deja Tyla via the various methods that she mentions in the podcast, and as always, I really hope that you will continue to join me on the Freed Stories podcast as guests share their stories of entrepreneurship – their successes, their failures, their goals, their hopes, and so on!
