Today we’d like to introduce you to Danielle Bailey.
Hi Danielle, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
After graduating college with my BA in Entertainment Business, I began working with artists as an executive assistant, I worked with business owners within the entertainment space, and I worked with more entrepreneurs that introduced me to e-commerce and other services.
About a year later, I decided that I wanted to fully work for myself, and I wanted to bet on myself. So I began to invest in learning about digital marketing, advertising, branding, e-commerce, social media, strategy, etc. With this information, I studied for about a year on what I wanted to do and I went into the e-commerce space selling jewelry, which did well and then I wanted to do something that would make me very happy.
When I was deciding on what would actually make me happy as a business owner, I look back at all the things that I have done. Seeing myself working with other entrepreneurs, I knew that I loved the marketing and branding no matter what business I was involved in. Once I was able to take everything in my mind and write it down on paper, I realized I knew so much about marketing and branding that I wanted to help other individuals with their marketing and branding, especially small businesses, influencers, contact creators, etc…
Now I’m able to educate people on my new page and on multiple platforms about how to create a unique brand and have creative marketing. Soon I plan to offer different services to assist smaller businesses in order for them to thrive within the digital space no matter what business they have.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely was not a smooth road at all! I had to work with so many different individuals with so many different personalities to still feel like I was working for someone and not myself. There was a lot of mindset shifting that I had to do to prepare myself for a different avenue of the entrepreneur journey. One of the biggest struggles is that even as an independent contractor for small businesses or for other solo entrepreneurs is that they still feel like you work for them and might not value you the way you want to be valued. With this one idea in my mind, it almost pushed me out of the Entrepreneurs space so I had to really think and Decide to bet on myself
Also, probably the most difficult part about it is that even if you know everything about a topic, you might still question yourself sometimes. I literally went to school and got a bachelor’s degree, years of experience across different industries, and raised not only their reach but also gave them their time back and help them make more money without putting in more time. Even after all of that, I still question myself with things such as “Am I smart enough?”, “Should I consider myself an expert?“, “Unless I have $1 million in results somehow, should I even help people?” Those are the types of questions that I am mentally had very often.
Every day I have to remind myself that I can help other people and I don’t need millions of dollars to do it. I can educate people on how to make their brands better because I’ve worked with businesses, millionaires, and solo entrepreneurs to take their brands and marketing to another level.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I am a solo entrepreneur who educates individuals about unique branding and creative marketing. I will be offering services to assist businesses in creating a top-tier brand and amazing marketing.
I am known for helping entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs create their businesses, as well as assisting professionals with their online presence.
What makes me different is that I do not go the professional route. When you see my content and any media that I use, it’s very relevant to today and to a younger crowd that is craving for success and in some cases, just trying to get their money right. What I mean by that is many individuals in their mid to late 20s and sometimes early 20s really just want to live a life without struggle and so many decide to go and start their own business which I love for my generation. However, with my generation does not come old-school professionalism; I don’t have to have on a suit or take professional pictures for them to trust me. I am able to spread this information using pictures of myself in a natural space, beautiful scenery, mainstream, celebrities, etc. while also having my vocabulary reach out to them as well
Although we still need to cross the T’s and dot the I’s, it does not mean that I have to speak in large, very difficult-to-understand words. I can talk how I naturally talk and my generation will listen because they understand what I’m saying and how it relates to them in their success.
At this moment, I am most proud of my social media presence. Although I don’t go viral with every single post, I still am able to help such an amazing influential audience that I always wanted to without flashing money or a super luxurious life. They resonate with me, my personality, and my vibe. That is one of the most amazing things that I am most thankful for with my brand.
Currently, I am going to offer a free e-book about having a clear brand identity and what it takes to have a strong, creative marketing plan. I also will be offering social media, audits, branding, assistance, marketing assistance, consultations, etc.
How do you think about happiness?
What makes me happy is seeing people talk about something that they’re passionate about and assisting them and seeing the steps it will take to bring it to life. It is such a crazy thing to be able to take something from your thoughts and creative minds to paper and making a visual, then taking it to actually bring it to life. It’s a journey, but it’s so worth it and so amazing I really want to see multiple business owners be able to say, “Finally! It’s here and my dreams are coming alive in front of me.”
