Ep 46 – Growing a 7 Figure Brand as a Daughter of Immigrants with Maya Elious
August 14, 2024
When you’re building a legacy, you will inevitably come up against push back from loved ones, especially if you’re First Gen. Today’s guest, Maya Elious, is taking us behind the scenes on her journey of building a 7 figure business as a daughter of immigrants.
A major takeaway? Sometimes entrepreneurship as a daughter of immigrants means that you have to get really comfortable making decisions that your loved ones can’t understand until they can see it in retrospect.
Maya Elious is an award-winning business coach and personal branding strategist. She is the CEO of Built To Impact, a coaching and consulting company that teaches overlooked experts how to build a profitable online business in their zone of genius.
Her biggest piece of advice for her younger self that was still holding out for approval? “Drop out sooner.” At 23, she left college because she knew she had unlocked a real opportunity with her business. Did she initially get the support she hoped for from her family? Absolutely not. Was it ultimately worth it? Absolutely.
I’m excited for you to hear all about Maya’s journey – from making $35-$60 per client each month as an 18-year old to hitting that million dollar mark many times over and launching multiple brands, we’re digging into the mindset that made this possible for her.
In this episode, we’re chatting about:
- Redefining success as First Gen
- How to build a personal brand online without trauma dumping
- The self-trust required to drop out of college and pursue business full time
- How Maya has been able to navigate increased visibility without self-sabotaging
- Scaling your business from the six-figure mark to millions
