Featured on LinkedIn: A small pond to a big river

Hi there! I wanted to reintroduce myself to any new followers. ๐Ÿค (๐˜‰๐˜›๐˜ž, ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฌ๐˜ด ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ!)

I'm Hollyโ€” the Owner & Founder ofย Hapacity Marketing, which is a St. Louis-based marketing company.

For 18 years of my life, I lived in a super small town in Maine, where life was a lot slower.

But, I've always been driven, so I made the move here about four years ago to take a chance on my career... It started with an ๐™ช๐™ฃ๐™ฅ๐™–๐™ž๐™™ ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™š๐™ง๐™ฃ๐™จ๐™๐™ž๐™ฅ but has resulted in aย #freelancingย business. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

The transition from a small pond to a big river was a risk, but a rewarding one.

โ†  It led me to ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ฑ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ๐˜ถ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ค๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ด, ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ๐˜ค๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜ญ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ๐˜ช๐˜ข ๐˜ท๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฐ๐˜ด, ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜บ ๐˜›๐˜ ๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ๐˜ด.

Of course, I've been really lucky in my career thus far. But admittedly, my story isn't unique.

I've heard similar stories from otherย #freelancersย in the marketing realm. Like me, these people started their careers small and were patient (but not too patient). When good opportunities were given, they took advantage of them, despite the risks associated.

That's how we achieve our dreams. ๐Ÿš€

It's time to ask yourself these questions:ย If not me, then who? If not now, then when?ย That's the secret sauce that works for me and many others. ๐Ÿ™‚

What's your dream? Speak it into reality below. โฌ‡๏ธ
