Always had a taste for adventure and wanting to go beyond limits. Digital marketing is perfect medium.
A1 My newest venture is B2C rather than B2B and so has really taken me out of my comfort zone. #vcbuzz

Q2 How to motivate yourself to become a business owner? Can everyone do that?
Motivation comes from within. It comes form the big goal that is ahead of me.
I am not a fan of goal setting as such.. what I truly understand is the intuitive part of wanting to achieve. Achievement is any small step forward, that is how I stay on top every day.
A2 Sometimes motivation is about taking that first step. Sounds simple but it's true! #vcbuzz

A2. If you have the desire and strong will to be your own boss, you can become a business owner #vcbuzz

Agreed. I think some goal setting can make things to intimidating to achieve. Sometimes just starting is important. #vcbuzz

Q3 How to handle business failure? Do you have any experience in that? Can you share your advice?
Business failures ?? lol how long have we got ?????
There is no progress without failure. Failure means you try something you have not done before. Failure for me is learning. And each step, I realize there is something is the process I needed to learn.
A3. You must see them as experiments because you will become a much better owner and appreciate success more #vcbuzz

This can be skill, about myself, about others. you cannot be perfect at first try of skiing down a mountain, but with the right skills ans attitude gold medal is waiting.
A3B. @jtodonnell written an article about looking at failures in business and careers #vcbuzz https://t.co/a0c3FmHtPX
— Cheval John, Social Media Professional (@chevd80) October 17, 2017
Look at the journey: Edison, Ford, Bill Gates, Walt Disney, Einstein, Lincoln, Chaplin, Fred Astaire, Spielberg. That is the attitude I have: fall, learn, get up, move on, do better.
A3 Almost nothing works the way it looks on paper. Mistakes help you find poor assumptions. #vcbuzz
— Hessinger Gifts (@HessingerGifts) October 17, 2017
What I say, let it be you who writes the paper!!
Q4 How to build work-life balance? Does it exist?
My work is my passion. For me this balance comes from people who I surround myself with.
Similar minds magnify one another, and i want to be surrounded with these amazing people in my life.
A4. If you love your work, it will not feel like actual work because it is part of your life #vcbuzz
— Cheval John, Social Media Professional (@chevd80) October 17, 2017
That is passion and commitment, most powerful driving force behind success. YES.
As well as my passion for digital marketing and luxury sector, my life is also my 3 dogs. Once I finish my major plans, they will have to have social media exposure profiles too. ADORE MY DOGS !! My babies. Plus they are ok if I am up doing twitter 2am!!
Just saying 🙂 cc @seosmarty #vcbuzz pic.twitter.com/tqnCWjAhOA

Q5 What are your favorite business management and marketing tools?
I am a firm believer in strategic planning, customer relationship, and mastermind.
.@MariettRamm A5: I could not agree with you more! Strategy, strategy, and strategy. It's your guide #vcbuzz
— Janette Speyer – Artist, Digital Marketer (@JanetteSpeyer) October 17, 2017
Wasting time and money is perfectly avoidable with strategy , well executed of course with passion and commitment.
A5 The mistakes we talked about previously provide some of the data upon which your strategy is based. #vcbuzz
— Hessinger Gifts (@HessingerGifts) October 17, 2017
I like personal contact, and always available on SM or whatsapp to clients, sponsors, or anyone who just want to say hello.
I love selling. My mentor said nothing happens before someone sells something. True. But there is selling and selling. I believe in talking to PEOPLE on social media, NOT buyers, big difference.
A5. I like @BlueJeansNet because you can use the platform for video meetings, collaboration, and even live streaming #vcbuzz
