Thank you. That's
really kind.
Long story short, I started off working for a few major fashion publications (W Magazine, WWD, etc). I hated it (not as glam as everyone thinks) and promptly moved into global advertising (think MadMen circa 2000s).
I worked my way up the corporate ladder at ad agencies managing millions for global brands (luxury skincare, cosmetics, airlines, tech, etc.) and jumped off said ladder to work for myself.
The first business failed miserably. I sold one product to a friend from college. Such is life. Lol
The second company (niche e-commerce business) did very well and went from zero to six figures in 15 months. The third did even better (can't say because it would be easy to figure out; it's niche and large). Today, I own several businesses and have learned a hell of a lot along the way.
I started fairly young, as I'm a thirty-something. I'm an ENT-J, so that explains my personality to a 'T' (a personality that is rare for a woman). So now, I start new businesses from scratch that I consider passion projects, travel with my partner (before and after this Covid hiatus, obvs), invest, and try to add value to the people and places I encounter.
I was fired up by Lydiot's lack of business savvy, gaslighting, and duplicity regarding the ASA/CMA. As a result, I stumbled upon this site one day and let it rip. I had words for her on Twitter as well, she attempted to clap back...
So here we are.
I actually support a lot of actual content creators and actual businesswomen, but Lydiot is neither. She seriously rubbed me the wrong way and I felt it my duty to expose her for the grifting, gaslighting, imbecile that she is. I feel like I've done my part.
Now I stick around for the fabulous community, snark, and occasional Lydiot slapdown when she needs to be humbled yet again.
Love it. You're like a pitbull on those sub counts. Those two will wish they'd never bought one single follower.
Here here! I second that! You guys and gals are fabulous and I appreciate the witty banter and collective badassery of this thread.
