Let’s talk turning talents into profit. Our guest Dwaynia Wilkerson will tell you her story of how – After spending 11 years teaching English at a local university, she decided to trade her grade book and dry erase markers for laptops and coffee shops – and launch HER OWN business. Now Dwaynia is the owner of Prose & Pens, which provides content writing services to businesses and brands.
Dwaynia is an example of being in it for the long run and how the path to figuring out how to create a business from one’s passion is not always easy – but worth it.
Some of the topics we discuss include:
- What inspired her as child
- Why she started college studying something totally different from her passion
- How being clever and strategic, & prepared got helped her get her first teaching gig
- Lessons she learned about herself along the way
- How to find clients
- How a betrayal turning into a blessing
- How to finding the gatekeepers & decision makers directly
- Why you don’t always need social media to market your business… and more!
In the words of Dwaynia, sometimes you really have to stop waiting on a magical moment and just make things happen.
