University life
[3:40] I worked as a chemist in the morning, working for my granddad’s M.O.T place in the afternoon and putting paints behind a bar in the evening. It was not an everyday job, but it helped me get through my university years with my parents’ support.
[4:38] I want to be a programmer and build websites when I left the university.
[5:33] I need to get a proper job, start bringing in the money, and get rewarded for the hard work that I’ve done at the university.
Being a Mortgage Broker
[6:13] I went for an interview with the mortgage brokers. They liked my enthusiasm, and I got accepted for the job.
[6:53] With the desire to progress my career, I took an examination to be a certified IFA Mortgage Broker.
[7:26] The recession hit in 2008, and it was a tough time. My boss told me to go out of the world, expand my network, and build my client base.
[8:13] My friend recommended Facebook. I joined groups where I was able to leverage my expertise in mortgage and became my avenue to generate leads.
The Birth of ZC Social Media
[11:33] Feeling the effects of the recession and my love for social media, my father made me realize that I am not happy with what I am doing.
[12:21] I asked my bosses about my idea of leaving to start my own business. It was not well-received, and I eventually left the company.
[13:02] With the network that I have built, it was able to assist me in building my business. That’s where ZC Social Media has started.
Becoming a Social Media Speaker
[15:40] I got invited to speak in Warsaw, Poland. I get to speak alongside the German government, Avon, and various NGOs. It is exhilarating to get covered in a local newspaper as a startup.
[17:16] If you are given the opportunity to speak somewhere, it’s an opportunity to get some press coverage. This is even better if you are a startup, and it would boost your speaking opportunities.
Whirlwind Week
[21:53] It was a typical Monday for me where I got pinged by someone who went to my website and invited me to speak in Madrid, Spain. I immediately grabbed that opportunity.
[23:48] I went to deliver my talk in a room of different people from different franchises of the company around the world. It is the convergence of different cultures.
[25:18] An unknown number called me out of nowhere. I thought it was spam, but I still answered it. I was surprised to get invited to be a guest in ITV This Morning, a show where I dreamt of being a part of for 18 months.
[26:39] I went straight to the airport with my husband, not knowing the flight we will be getting on and how to go home. It was surreal that I was muddleheaded at the moment. Good thing we had a chauffeur coming to get us to a hotel for the night.
[28:05] I thought it was going to be a relaxed Monday, but it turned out to be a whirlwind week. Friday felt like I was at the top of the world.
[29:12] Everything that happened was not a phone call, but the amalgamation of the connections and relationships that I have built. Being consistent and sharing relevant content to get noticed will help you bring that opportunity.
Key Quotes:
[11:55 – 11:57] “Do something that you enjoy. Life is too short.”
[22:38 – 22:44] “You need to be quick if you are looking at speaking and press opportunities.”
[29:02 – 29:08] “If you want to achieve that goal, put the effort, time, and take it step by step.”
