Welcome back, listeners! It’s Season 4 of Owning Up!
First, we are grateful for YOU, our listeners, partners, and sponsors.
Now, let’s jump right in! This season, Moni wanted to bring on guests who influence the community and are dreamers, makers, doers, believers, bold and bravely creating the career of their dreams. This podcast is here to support military spouse business owners.
Our guest this week is Moniek James - veteran, military spouse, speaker, author, columnist, online serial entrepreneur, and founder of Renegade Creative Media Group. Moniek’s mission is: “Teaching small business owners and brands how to leverage content marketing to deliver their genius to the world.”
After being in the military, Moniek found herself at a job where she was denied a raise to match her counterpart. This is where her entrepreneurial journey began. First, she started a blog about beauty and fashion, which led to local events. Then, the blog ended up turning into a business.
Some takeaways from this episode:
- The personal and business journey is about self-discovery. First, figure out who you are to show up as that person.
- Think of your life as an obstacle course. What are you going to do to get through it?
- Everything is a choice, even situations that aren’t a win. But how you face that challenge matters. What’s available to you to help you grow and be different? What will position you for more growth? What is it teaching you?
- Learn to talk about your products strategically with messages designed to show how your business can change the mind of your customers.
- Moniek is a confidence coach and teaches four types of frameworks to help her clients, which she shares with us in this episode.
- Moniek is one of our AMSE Group Coaches and Writers.
- She evolved from the challenges that she has faced and continues to take the time to learn and develop her skills. As a result, she’s an “unapologetic book nerd.”
