Join me as I talk to Nto, of the company Busy Bumblebeees, about her business and how it got started, how she had been a content creator and manager at a restaurant but was laid off because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and how she got started as an entrepreneur via Upwork.
Nto also shares how when she was much younger she had dreams of having a regular, stable job as an accountant, taking part in social activities such as office parties, and how that ultimately resulted in what she does now. She went to college for business management which led to her following a path of independent entrepreneurship. She now provides virtual assisting and social media marketing to a wide range of clients.
As I often say, the road to entrepreneurship and even entrepreneurship itself can sometimes be lonely, so Nto not only talks about how she combats that loneliness and how being a fellow of Freed has helped her establish a sense of community as an entrepreneur, but she also offers some advice, such as familiarizing yourself with your target market and eliminating self-doubt to fight off imposter syndrome. She also details her daily schedule, shares what she would say to herself five years ago if she could, and even reveals what she considers her superpower to be!
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! Be sure to hit that subscribe button so that you never miss an episode!
