Growing up in California, Jennifer Nicholson has been active in playing sports. She played basketball alongside some of the most talented players in the nation. Now residing in Colombia with her husband and two children, Jennifer is the CEO of a large virtual assistance company that helps its employees earn more than the usual pay from call centers.

But despite holding such a prestigious position, Jennifer still uses the lessons she learned from sports into how she handles business. 

“I have learned to push through pain and failure. I credit much of my success to my mindset training. An entrepreneur who wants success will need to utilize personal development techniques and strategies to assist them on that journey because it takes a special kind of person to persevere through constant failure, which is inevitable in entrepreneurship,” she said. 

Creating Profit For Others 

Through her virtual assistance company, Jennifer gets to help several people in the form of the clients who avail their services as well as the employees who are working under them. 

Her company supports more than 50 clients and pays their agents more than any call center in Colombia. It also has an ongoing key project that aims to teach and empower agents to excel and absorb new skills that will set them up for success and financial freedom.

“Our mission is to create a community full of mindful, positive, and ambitious persons– our core values represent respect, accountability, and integrity,” she said. 

For Jennifer, these values are the ones that can secure success for aspiring entrepreneurs who want to follow in her footsteps. 

“I believe intention, integrity, and implementation are the most important ingredients to maintaining your path to success,” she said.

Taking The Leap for Love 

After college, Jennifer started to travel all over the United States. She later got back in touch with an old high school friend who is from Colombia. They would later fall in love. Jennifer then took a leap of faith and decided to sell all her possessions and travel overseas to begin a new chapter in her life.

“People would say to me, ‘It’s crazy how you would give up everything for love.’ And I would say, ‘I think it’s crazy that you wouldn’t,’” she said.

This leap of faith proved to be more than advantageous for Jennifer and her family because not only does she get to live out her days filled with love, but she also managed to start a career that has helped many others.

At 19-years-old, Julian Ash has joined numerous entrepreneurs who are earning a profit from growing Instagram pages. This is because various brands and businesses have taken to marketing themselves on the social media platform because of its popularity, reach, and influence. 

Seeing as how many have profited from scaling pages, Julian wanted to get in on the action and has spent day and night developing different themes on Instagram since he was in high school. 

Now an expert on the field, he is currently earning $15,000 a month just by running multiple theme pages. 

Learning the Value of Hardwork 

When he first started in the niche industry of growing Instagram pages, Julian put in the hard work to learn what he can about the platform how he can maximize the brand’s expansion. He even learned from coaches to gain as much knowledge as he can. 

This is because he has a long-term vision of what he wants to do with his time and efforts. He then wired himself to hustle and be disciplined to achieve his goals from this venture.

As a result, Julian now gets to travel the world and is now residing in Bali, Indonesia. 

Helping Others Escape the Mundane 

“I’ve been able to help people quit their 9 to 5 jobs by going full-time with Instagram. The best thing is, these people had zero experience before hiring me as a coach and mentor,” Julian said. 

His services include helping his clients find a niche where they’re passionate about, growing a loyal following from scratch, as well as teaching them how to monetize their pages through a problem-solving perspective. But most importantly, he makes theme pages more alluring by adding in pictures that can catch users’ attention. 

With the success of his online business, Julian is keen on focusing on what he started so that he can continue to help people and earn money from managing multiple theme pages. 

“The goal is to keep growing Instagram theme pages and allowing other people to get started. I’m also on a mission to help course creators and coaches scale their businesses using Instagram brands,” he said. 

Instagram has come a long way since it began more than a decade ago. From a media-sharing platform, it has slowly transformed into a new area where businesses and brands market themselves to the public. As a result, this also opened a new industry for entrepreneurs like Julian who have found success through this modern approach.
