Very true!

Gotta start from somewhere right? 😅 Thank you Erin! 🤗✨

Thank you for the advice! :) You'll never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine. Habit will sustain you whether you're inspired or not. Successful people are simple those with successful habits. We get to reach where we are now because of what we constantly do productively each day.

ah Im 13 and Im trying to learn about entrepreneurship... and I cant lie , Erins advice is literally the best of the best 🥺🥺❤

The soft skill I need to work on the most is confidence. I struggle when people say “Tell me about your brand” so I know I need to get my “elevator pitch” together.

[@shaonnahrenee]

The soft skill I will focus on strengthening is confidence. For some reason I get embarrassed if someone asks about my prayer journals. I tell them about them; but I want them to see the passion I feel conveyed when I talk

[@augustasescobar4191]

Start by choosing your favorite prayer in your journal the one that when you wrote it came from a deep and personal space and experience choose THAT one to speak about when people ask you about your prayer journal......n see what happens!!!!! I Encourage you to make more of those prayer journals and if you are evolved in church start there . Just a small conversation with one of the members ( usher board or Announcement speaker etc) let them k om about your prayer journals and if any member wants to purchase them you have your contact information on hand. You will be surprised at how many people need what you are offering and will support you! I believe in you ....you got this!!! Peace and Blessings🖤

[@krausemedia]

I love that you’re talking about soft skills! Not talked about much!!🥰 great video!!!

[@818tireini]

I need to come up with a morning routine for sure... more work ethic and confidence. Too many times I doubt myself before I even start something

[@aimmdejanee]

Tireini Ramos sameeeee! That’s exactly what I’m going through

[@brianadugger3840]

Yes, I completely understand. I struggle with this a lot.

[@envyc]

You go girl!!! I am inspired by your videos, I found a virtual tribe, thanks for that!

[@mjones1187]

literally found u an hour ago u are now one of my fav YTbers THANK YOU

[@kayseeandthebees]

Morning routine!!! Being an entrepreneur my schedule is never the same but when I’m consistent with just being me and spending time with God before anyone needs me my days are better and time management improves.

[@erindeluxe3507]

Every time she says “Erin” I jump, feeling like she’s speaking directly to me, because my name is Erin too. 😂

[@lucy_lala4049]

The 2 tops skills I want to work on this following month are confidence and work ethic. I tend to shut down my own ideas quickly or stay stuck in my head when something goes wrong. I know that I lack confidence to keep pushing forward and remember that mistakes are there to help me grow/learn. & I’ve always had a strong work ethic when it comes to 9-5 jobs. But lately I’ve been working at a job where I make my own hours, running multiple businesses, and I’m exhausted. But I’m exhausted because I haven’t been prioritizing putting forth the right balance between all the things I’m trying to juggle. I really loved this video, literally about to rewatch so I can absorb as much as possible. Thank you for all your hard work ♥️

[@Knowledgeovergrades]

You definitely smile-talk, which is probably why I subscribed because you seemed friendly like you were giving girl talk advice. 7. My biz coach Sheri Otto calls the "elevator pitch" a "unique positioning statement". 10. I'm humbling down now with my business. I wanted to figure out my own way and I pretty much tried every idea I thought would work until I came to terms that my competition is actually what will help succeed me since they've became successful already in what they're doing. I won't copy them exactly because I'm still me with my own angle, but I will take some of their unspoken advice. A lot of this is about growing up and maturing. Starting a business will surely bring out your insecurities and they must be addressed to succeed.

[@TaraWagner]

Love all these! A question every entrepreneur should ask themselves is “Who do I get to be to reach these goals?” It’s a life changing question. ❤️

[@MrsJMYoung]

Yaaass! Initiative and being a self-educator is vital! No employer wants a helpless employee. Not saying don't ever ask questions or ask for help... but only after you've done some of the leg work. Intelligent questions are way different than lazy ones! Thank you for this video! I've just started my own marketing business from home. April I had 1 client. May, I'm slated with a referral agency that's bringing in small tasks for multiple customers... but it's something. I'm hitting hard on the cold calls and reaching out to other businesses. Those soft skills you mentioned will come in handy. I'm glad I found you!

[@MarionMarie27]

The best advice I’ve heard from any KZbinr - “ Be a better you”. Thanks Erin 💕

[@dch3aa]

Thank you ! The soft-skill that I am working on is #2-Confidence with believing in my business.

[@eboniyoung9623]

For me it would be courage, I know I could get more business by being kore out there doing cold calls to find partnerships but I keep holding myself back I’m not sure if I don’t feel I bring enough or the whole aspect of rejection but I need to get over it and make this money

[@hrf2208]

I was stuck in life, playing games all day and doing nothing, and then a friend introduced me to this program called Forwago. Now I'm on a clear path forward and enjoy every day.

[@osueneneemmanuel8373]

[@Ciara.Lashelle]

I would like to focus more on being consistent with creating content for my IG page. I am working on creating schedules and lists to help keep me focus while trying to juggle my full time job. This was so inspiring to watch ❤️

[@jacasianakee]

I want to work on my work ethic for this month, because I am a little lazy not only when it come to business, but in other things but I want to work on letting go of procrastinating and laziness

Girl, yes! This is the video I was looking for! Saving this for ‘those days.’ I’m a stay at home mom and can use all the positive encouragement! The one thing I’d like to really work on is stop making excuse for not starting! That final push of courage. Send me the vibe and may you have a productive and blessed day!

[@ThePoshMama]

Man! I need to work on my WORK ETHIC! I know that I have so much potential but I Definitely let life distract me and make excuses of being tired or just not feeling like posting something on my platforms. I really want to work on pushing through all of that! 😩

This month I will focus on small talk. I plan to leave my current job at the end of this month and have told only a handful of people that I’m venturing out on my own, and they’re not even in the industry I plan to work in. Focusing on small talk will increase my confidence in the success of my business plan and build a much needed network. Thanks Erin!

[@kimberly107]

Erin you are amazing! I'm 53 and tired of my job. Want to retire but got a minute for that pension. Recently got the bug to try some passive income and I'm so ready but feel like I wanna know everything about business, I thought to look up some youtube gigs and yours popped up. I immediately subscribed and looking for all info you have to offer. You have the right approach and I can really follow your suggestions cuz they really make SENSE! Look please keep doing your thang. Now Imma get back to taking notes ! Blessings to you and your family!

[@teairras1772]

This was so EXCELLENT!! Thank you for taking the time out to drop such amazing gems for us because you have the best interest in us. Soft Skill that I can work on is WORK ETHIC. I work so hard for someone else but I don’t put in even half of the effort for my business. Is there a reason why I work so hard to please others, but not myself? Maybe I should be in a different profession. Possibly a profession that assists with people becoming a better person of themselves because I find joy in seeing other people happy?

[@PZCherokee]

I love how you recommend the subscribe at the end after you have provided the content, instead of saying it at the beginning before we know what we're getting. Intelligence. My two traits to master are work ethic over everything, and the negotiating part of confidence.

[@brianagrace8391]

Honestly, the main theme for me this month is BALANCE. I want to be able to create a routine for my everyday life. Remembering that I don't need to juggle everything. Giving myself time to work & relax. I have the mentality of "GO, GO, GO" that I will get stuck on work/tasks. Then sometimes I forget to give myself self care, take a walk, be PRESENT. I am learning & growing with the skill to bring balance in my environment. To be a better version of myself & with my business. My ultimate goal is to create more balance in my life. And to REST! lol Thanks for the reminder!

[@thebosleyaffair9617]

More power! 😊

Coming back to the work ethic to push through not yet generating income and still building my audience. Thanks for bringing great information whilst still staying authentically you. What I am striving for too!

[@epiphaneyalexander9520]

Very insightful Erin, love this video. Work ethic for sure, small/big talk- communication, reading more books, and being more well-rounded.

Work on courage and confidence in business. Taking the step to start my business is very scary indeed but I know I can do it. I just need to keep believing. Thank you for this video.

[@WAXINwithDONISHA]

I really want to focus on knowledge and quality. I feel like alot of times I just get on camera looking any kind of way I want to put more into my appearance. I also need to read more so that I can have high energy in my videos and able to offer more advice. Thank you so much I just subscribed and will be binge watching you and letting the ads play. Clicking on your videos has given me the motivation to level up sis! My future is bright. Thank you

“I don’t like small talk.” - Okay, but are you any good at big talk? 😂😂😂 Love it. Thanks for your videos Erin!

Girl you had me at, being confident within my business and with saying no, being firm! “Yes this IS my price”. AND, LOOKING on the part. I struggle with this. Especially as a Mom. But trying so hard to do better

Courage. i finding it difficult to engage serious customers..so iv decided not to only conduct my hair sales online..but go out into the busy streets & saloons to get my goods seen.💙

Organization. I need to be better organized. That's one of the keys to productivity and efficiency.

Work ethic - being in a big slump makes it so hard to focus on my business, lets not forget being your own boss and making your self do everything that needs to be done in each day even if its the small things to push your business forward little by little!! Love this video ! Here I go on to working on myself Not giving up on myself!! #smallentrepreneur

[@jamelspencer4448]

Great video! Im in the financial service industry as an independent licensed insurance agent learning to become a broker. My perspective as an inspiring entrepreneur building my business is to have the right motives to helping others. I believe in planting seeds first before receiving a harvest. What we do as entrepreneurs shouldn't just be all about money. No I'm not saying go in business to become none profit what I'm saying don't use people by selling them all the the time just to make money only but plant seeds first by sowing into people. Sacrifice is one of the key words to entrepreneurship that many don't really understand. People like to buy but don't like to be sold so what are we doing to become influential to them wanting to support or be on board your business? How are we self developing? What bad habits are we working on changing? What weaknesses are we strengthening? I truly believe those are some questions every entrepreneur should ask themselves first and farmost. Be authentic in whatever industry of business you're in. Looks can be very deceiving. Your mindset and heart will reveal what's inside regardless of how well dressed you are on the outside. Work ethic is a take away from this video I love. There are 2 more basic game changers I build for myself as well; 1.Identity aka true good character 2. Skill set: being a student to mastering a main skill set. Who you are as a person weigh heavily on how successful you are as a entrepreneur or business owner. Dont let good intentions become wrongfully or harshly spoken of. Example: How can people trust your brand if you are selling vitamins, teas and weight loss supplements this year and next year you're now a credit guru fixing credit? 1 you're not a doctor, 2. What proven track record you have or creditals for me as a customer to trust you with my health and my financial portfolio and livelihood? Your intentions to have multiple streams of income may all well and good but it's a tarnished look on your face as a brand you may be trying to build. Who are you and how do you want your clients and investors to identify you and pay you for your skill set? It all falls back on self development as an entrepreneur. I say build character and master one skill set first making it profitable before jumping to another business venture. I see too many underdeveloped business owners jumping from venture to venture.

[@estherschulte7252]

[@soroyanaomi2885]

The soft skill I'm working on this month is my productivity and work ethic!

[@SheWritesHerJourney_]

I love this video! I want to work on my consistency.

[@XAudreyS]

Thank you Erin!!! These skills are essential. You covered it all. The only thing I would add to work ethic is discipline in other areas of life. Get started small for instance I started fasting, working out in the morning, eating healthy and vegan during the week. Right now I'm on a sugar fast and my mood, memory, focus, and skin is so thankful!

[@LifeWithBrandi]

One skill I'm working on is networking.. as an introvert it's hard to strike up a conversation with other people similar to things I do on my channel. I've been struggling on trying to collab with people simply because I literally don't know what to say lol that's something I'm definitely working on

[@jmeezy2362]

I genuinely love your channels it’s helped me a lot !

[@imwalkingbyfaith]

The two main things I'm trying to learn is how to effectively communicate and being able to reach out and ask other people for assistance. It's like I know all the things I want to say when posting my content, but when it comes down to me putting it into words my brain is like (HUH?) smh lol Lastly, I take pride in being independent, but w/ recently launching my boutique I realized that I cannot do/learn everything on my own. It's essential for me to look to others for help and guidance.

[@chellismith5765]

I think I need to work on being better read and looking the part. Being in the military for the past 19 years I’ve gotten used to wearing my hair in a bun, lol, so I need to actually get dressed and do my hair on my off days as I get ready to start transitioning. Thanks for the tips! I died when you took out the smile when you talked, I see that all the time! 😂

[@xosuristyle]

loved watching your video! For myself I need to smile talk and also dress the part at times. Also the point on being well read, it is important that I include that in my daily habits.

[@00000sei]

I just found your channel and by now I've already watched 3 videos. You are so encouraging and real. I'm so glad I found you at the right time. Thank you for helping starting entrepreneurs like me.

[@mitchmvtch]

I actually am going to focus on 2 this month. Communication and confidence. I am one of those people who hate small talk but I am v. shy when interacting with new people (networking). I have been trying to come out of my shell more and more. I feel me growing in these two areas, so this month I will continue to focus on growth.

[@paigeywaigey678]

I am improving on my courage this month and creating consistency within facing my fears; absolutely love your videos! Thank you for all of the amazing advice and tips! Girl you got me taking all kinds of notes! 💯💜

[@Shanvle]

I've been at work binge watching your channel for most of my day. What I need to work on most is small talk. There's a show I watch on Entrepreneur network called elevator pitch. It's similar to shark tank but the business owners have to explain their business and what they would like from the investors in 60 seconds while on an elevator. I'm trying to work on explaining my business in 2 mins or less. Happy I found your channel🙌🏾 Starting my 2020 off right!

[@SeedsofJoyy]

I really want to work on my confidence. Since my confidence has been lacking, its been taking a toll on the other areas of my business!

[@GarneredBeauty]

So true about reading and creativity! My juices always start flowing while I’m reading.

[@myluxury1st]

OMG! I really get irked when people want me to spoon feed them. They don't want to do any of the leg work on there own and the time you finally tell them to look it up; your'e not a good friend or trying to help them.?!... No boo boo. I read and learned everything on my own and I don't mind helping people; I actually love it; but I'm nobody's' fool either. I'm still learning myself and would love a mentor! But i don't know anyone so for now I just do everything on my own. Thank you for this video!

[@mihaelapascu4484]

I am glad you talk openly about fear because I am going through a lot of stuff for the first time as an entrepreneur and I noticed that I'm mostly scared about finance paperwork and the relationship with the authorities even though it's figureoutable.

[@Cmyztry]

I enjoy your honesty and openness. I resonate with everything you've said. As a new female entrepreneur, I'm running a new mobile business idea and it is scary and I am alone. But I give it my all because I'm sick of giving my all to someone else. ❤

[@Cmyztry]

I would like to get better at business organization. I see myself as a very organized person but owning a new business is a new beast. I'd also like to learn more about outreach to other businesses in my community to let them know about my service so that we can work together and the best way to go about that.

[@diamon3301]

I need to work on smiling when talking!! I tend to have a straight face when I’m talking!! Thank you❤️❤️

[@lalaj2065]

I watch your content, I do value it so much, so thank you. Can you do a video on decisiveness? Clarity and moving in silence!

[@walksquared]

Adaptability, and body language. I really need to work on theses two.

[@AdemirAlijagic]

I like your music!

[@sweetestfreedomwithstephan9593]

This was so unbelievably helpful. My business partner and I are just starting out with out channel and our business and some days it definitely feels like we’re flailing. For me, if I know what THEME of skills to work on, the details tend to unfold. Placing a higher value on some of these points like the look, posture, and ultimately confidence has definitely flown under the radar. I’m willing to focus on those aspects and see what fruit they present. Thank you!

[@sierraraevon2826]

Love your videos! So watching this I realized I need to work on my work ethic. When I’m working a 9-5 I literally give my all, push my limits trying to show that I’m good at my job.. right? BUT with my own business I give myself the short end of the stick, I can be inconsistent, unorganized, etc etc.. so yes I’m definitely glad I watched this and that’s one of the soft skills I’ll be sure to perfect.

[@ashicap77]

I definitely enjoy this one! I want to learn how to be more organized.
