The messy mistakes of entrepreneurship go to show that everything evolves from nothing— or something we believe to be nothing.
Mistakes are the reminders that not everything is meant to work out the way we expect or want, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t meant for us.
In many cases, like Jaclyn Johnson’s, the messy mistakes were integral to the trajectory of the beautiful journey to personal success!
Jaclyn Johnson, “the ultimate multi-hyphenate,” never thought she would be an entrepreneur.
After moving to LA and getting let go from her marketing job, she had no idea what was in store for her career. Meanwhile, she was circulating events as a blogger, at a time in which blogging was considered the wild west of the Internet.
When she miraculously met another ambitious woman with an idea for a company (at one of these very same events), Jaclyn was in!
Before she knew it, Jaclyn was running the social media and creative side of her very own marketing agency: No Subject.
It’s been over a decade since Jaclyn stepped into her role as a CEO, and has lived (and learned) to tell the tale!
As someone who’s spearheaded what it means to be the modern day working woman, Jaclyn knows what’s key to achieving personal, and professional, success. Which made her the most magnetic and amazing IHML Show guest!
On this week’s episode of the IHML Show, I invite Jaclyn on to share how she’s personally navigated the messy mistakes of entrepreneurship.
She’s detailing her early days in marketing, taking us behind-the-scenes of selling two successful companies, what’s key for personal success, and how to lean into your personal magnetism!
I cannot emulate to you all enough how excited I am for this magnetic, magnificent woman to share her wisdom... and talk about early 2000s blogging with me.
If you’ve been following me since the early days, you know what I’m talking about!
If there’s to take away from Jaclyn’s insightful episode, it’s to embrace your messy mistakes— and make them into something beyond your wildest dreams!
(The original episode aired September 27, 2022, but it was so good that we wanted to make sure to share it again!)
