HOW IT STARTED:
During my studies, I served as a paid student ambassador for three businesses, Cengage, Jopwell and Altria. Later I was offered additional student ambassador positions with Coca Cola and Tik Tok, and I wanted to take the roles, but I didn't want to overwhelm myself with school, internships, and my current ambassador roles. It was an enjoyable time in those roles plus the extra money was a bonus!
The compensation was endless I was paid by posting on my personal social media pages, hosting events on campus, meeting a student sign up quota monthly, and working by the hour. During this time, I did not realize, but these positions changed my idea of work. I didn't want to be an influencer, but I understand various ways and possibilities of making money.
That income helped me save my first $10,000 before graduation.
The systems that were put in place, the people I met, and the ongoing opportunities that came from these positions transcended my mindset. Since graduating I moved to a different state, was able to save $100,000 in two years through different investments and purchased my first investment property. This didn’t come overnight but my state of mind changed and it all started while in school. It wasn't what I learned in the classroom that changed my life, it was the experiences that I had and my willingness to learn more. I understand the importance of having knowledge on how to generate income in addition to using my education.
