Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Destiny Monique . We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Destiny , thank you so much for taking the time to share your lessons learned with us and we’re sure your wisdom will help many. So, one question that comes up often and that we’re hoping you can shed some light on is keeping creativity alive over long stretches – how do you keep your creativity alive?
I keep my creativity alive by keeping very fun, positive people around me. I think you can pull creativity not just from like minded people but also from people that are totally opposite from yourself. I love keeping people around me that come from all walks of life. I see creativity everywhere and people often amaze me so really life helps me keeps my creativity alive.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
According to google I am a social media personality. lol I just saw that recently and it made me giggle. I think it is all apart of this new age we are in now. I love being creative online with my lifestyle YouTube channel. I post Fashion Hauls, Vlogs and also Unboxing videos. It’s alot of fun and I love working with brands. My instagram is also a lifestyle page, I show a lot of fashion there, restaurants, events sometimes and daily lifestyle content. You will also occasionally see some personal content and even some property investment videos, showing you another business my fiancé and I have.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Discipline, consistency and being persistent I think are 3 big qualities it takes when it comes to work or any business. I would Tell anyone starting out that this is just the beginning, don’t let years of being let down or feeling like your not getting where you want to be quick enough stop you. Everyone’s journey is different and with out all 3 of these I wouldn’t still be doing what I love and making money from it.
What do you do when you feel overwhelmed? Any advice or strategies?
When I feel overwhelmed, which happened to me recently I definitely take a step back and look at what I can do to take the stress off and to manage it all better. I am very mindful of burn out, I do everything I can to make sure I don’t stress out and that I continue to have fun at doing my job. Taking care of ourselves is so much more important than people think and it’s often over looked. Many people try and push through but for me I pull back and I don’t feel bad for it. For example. This year has been amazing with brand deals for me. So many brands have been reaching out and although I don’t take every offer there are still so many I would love to work with. I got a little overwhelmed this month by taking on the most brand deals I have ever said yes to. I had so many great options this month. I always want to make sure every video and promotion is the best I can provide for each brand within a timely manner. I managed to get them all done but it was alot of work this month. I will be making sure next month that I once again choose the best brands to work with according to my liking and my audience but also I will remember to pace myself a little better so that I do not get overwhelmed again.
