KEY TAKEAWAYS:

-- With no money and not eligible for financial aid, persistently asking for help resulted in a grant from hair school

-- Giving the gift of education is a lifelong endeavor

-- Olivia had 3 jobs while she was in school

-- After taking a social media class in the early days of IG, the deficits that class had gave her the idea to start teaching social media.

-- Being a pioneer in any new trend or technology could be a waste of time if the trend or tech goes nowhere. If it works out, the return on your time investment could be huge

-- Mentors help keep you moving forward and guide you along your career path

-- On slow days early in Olivia's career, she would go to local stores and ask them to come in for a makeover and capture the whole experience. Tell them to come hair and makeup ready and do not do it for free! 50% discount only

-- The Keys to my success: consistency, discipline, self-awareness, and time-blocking your schedule

-- Consistency = mental fitness (need to know where I will be and what I am doing all day everyday)

-- Olivia's scheduled events and todos are non-interrupted, phone on do not disturb

-- Olivia is now doing prosumer content for the consumer that the pros love.

-- Chase your passion for sustainable effort in your career.
