We were lucky to catch up with Ravyn Thomas recently and have shared our conversation below.
Ravyn , so great to be with you and I think a lot of folks are going to benefit from hearing your story and lessons and wisdom. Imposter Syndrome is something that we know how words to describe, but it’s something that has held people back forever and so we’re really interested to hear about your story and how you overcame imposter syndrome.
When I first started my business, the number one question I had was “Is there room for me?” I knew that this was my dream and passion and that I wanted to go all in, but that voice of doubt would always creep in whenever I thought about the success I could have. I finally decided to shift my mindset and tell myself that there is enough room for ALL of us in this industry and that the clients that are for me will easily find me.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
I am a Social Media Consultant & Marketer that helps brands and businesses buy back their time and create content that actually converts. I have always had a passion for the digital space and the endless creative possibilities so starting my business was inevitable. I am a firm believer that social media is here to stay and that is the easiest way for businesses and brands to market themselves and get the word out there in a creative way that makes their ideal client or customer want to seek them out.
My time in this industry has only inspired me to want to keep learning and growing and expanding my reach into global spaces. I am currently growing my team and have been able to narrow down the clients I work with to ensure they get the absolute best care and attention to their accounts so they experience the best return on their investment.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
You must have a passion for what you do to truly be successful. Like the old saying goes “Find something you love to do and you’ll never work a day in your life” Social media is a part of my lifestyle, it is not just a job for me. It keeps me excited and eager to wake up and face the day. It’s super important that you have a drive for what you do and are also willing to be a student every step of the way so you can grow and absorb more knowledge and skills to provide the best service to your clients.
How can folks who want to work with you connect?
I am always open and willing to do collaborations with others. I love meeting new people and getting my creative wheels turning in how we can work together and I can add value to their life. My favorite clients and collabs are those in the premium and luxury spaces.
