Smell of Success - Talking Female Entrepreneurship with Alexandra Nicole Nolan

In my life, I have learned a great deal in school, but I see that I am always learning all the time from the great people around me. An example is businesswoman, Alexandra Nicole Nolan. We met through Instagram and developed a friendship. Yes, that can happen.

She is a true businesswoman with multiple businesses created and sold under her belt. She is also someone who has had tough days and knows that creating positivity for herself and sharing it with others is valuable. In other words, she is exactly what “the pebble” is about.

So, of course, I had to interview her.

Just Start

Starting a business can be daunting. Alexandra knows this firsthand and works to coach women through their fears. Many of those concerns center around time and money. "It will never ever be the right time on your time; you just have to do it. Money, um, yeah, money is a big thing. But, you know, when you're ready to launch, it's like, "I need the money." There are so many people out there ready to invest. There are so many people that are just, they, they don't wanna do the creative part like we like to do, they just have the money, and they wanna invest, and they wanna help people and see them thrive, but they also are thinking, "Hey, I know this person can make it happen and make me some extra money on the side." So, build that business plan, and, and reach out to investors. I mean, that's step one...."

We also discuss intersecting values and business, branding, and chasing your dreams.

A Pebble of Creativity

Thank you, Alexandra, for sharing your smile and your pebble of positivity with me and the world. You are making a difference every day. That is what it takes, and I appreciate you.
