We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Ashley Wottring a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Ashley, thank you so much for joining us. You are such a positive person and it’s something we really admire and so we wanted to start by asking you where you think your optimism comes from?
My optimism comes from the happiness surrounding me. My faith is very important to me and brings me joy. My family is everything to me and brings me happiness. I also have a great group of friends that always help uplift my spirits. On the days where I might not feel completely happy, I’ve learned to chose happiness.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
My current focus is my business! Almost two years ago I quit my job in corporate America to pursue my own dreams. I was a director of marketing and wanted to take the knowledge I’d gained and work with small business. So currently, in addition to my content creation, I also run my own marketing agency. It’s a work in progress!
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Two of the best sessions I’ve learned would be to be consistent and to step out of your comfort zone. Consistency can be hard when you feel like you’re not seeing immediate growth, but it’s consistency that fuels growth. Stepping out of your comfort zone is also difficult because it immediately brings fear, but over coming fears and taking risks it what gives you the best growth.
One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
I am always looking for brands to collaborate with on my social media! I work primarily with fashion, beauty and skin care brands. I am also always looking for small businesses that need help with their marketing!
