I definitely need to increase my small talk and networking skills.

Very true! Just love her videos💖 So empowering🦸🏻‍♀️ Makes you wanna start a business even if you don't have an intention to have one 🤭 Well I wanted to start my business since college but have been putting it off for a year now🙄 and Erin's videos have really helped me a lot and it ahd boosted my confidence! Gotta start from somewhere right? 😅 Thank you Erin! 🤗✨

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.

[@nessaak2145]

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

[@erindeluxe3507]

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

[@Rini_S]

Me too, it's freaky😅😂

I’m planning on working more towards a better morning/night routine, cutting down on my phone usage, & overall just work harder even if I feel tired or lazy, thank you so much for this video !!😇

yes!! 2023 & I am now just subscribing and came across this video along with this comment.

[@Cassiearan]

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.

[@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🖤

[@Neisy444]

I wish I was as wise as you are when I was your age. The skills you mentioned in this video are not just keys to excel as an entrepreneur, but to winning at life in general. Really great insight.

[@ImaBiigKiiddNow]

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.

[@krausemedia]

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

[@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

Thank you Erin. This is gold! So motivated to start working on these..especially productivity..

Thanks for this Erin!!!! I definitely need to work on work ethic!!! I am full of ideas but actually putting action behind them and seeing it through is a struggle and this video has made it easier for me to admit that out loud. So thanks again girl!!!

[@michaelaharris9411]

You have great content! You get right to the point without buffers and fillers. Thanks!

[@jacquelinemitchell5069]

Subscribed today after watching for the past month or so. I’m with you...it’s scary running the show, but it’s how we grow and How we are challenged. I find that by pushing through the scary parts, the good stuff reveals itself on the other side. I’m in a scary phase right now, but after 3 years I keep pushing. Eventually it all comes together. I look forward to more great stuff from you.

[@MainCourseEncouragement]

Love the tips Erin. We've been working on pushing content as we are traveling and networking. Clients come first and we are looking forward to the seeds we have planted this year. They sprout daily so we are sure you know that feeling of when things are climbing as well as teaching along the way. We can't stand sending something with grammatical errors but sometimes we do when very excited! R-reading is a must. Thankfully the relationships we built and work we produced covered that trust and understanding lol..

[@beautypluckzCo]

Thank you so very much, this is gold. Currently trying to work on my confidence.

[@idhawkins]

You are a queen for this free game love !!! I’ve watched three of your videos since I woke up this morning !!! I can’t wait to make my vision board !!

[@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. ❤️

[@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! 💯💜

[@maeyannestarling3494]

I just came across your channel and I can't stop watching. I love the positive vibes you bring, it is so refreshing. One thing I would love to work on is being more consistent and confident within my brand. Thank you for the motivation to keep going.

[@MarionMarie27]

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

[@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.

[@thebosleyaffair9617]

Erin, your videos stand out bcus you are confident and passionate about what you’re talking about. I watching all of the multiple times and consider you a blessing, Sis.

[@masegomachailo394]

Hello Erin! I'm binge watching your channels while on lockdown.I'm only starting my journey as an entrepreneur so yea,my focus is on learning how to confidently introduce my business in 10s.

This was an amazing video. Thank you for this. I found you last night and your humility is so visible on the screen. Keep up the great work.

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 ❤️

[@shaytalton6299]

Erin you are literally THE BEST. I appreciate each & every last one of your videos. Thank you so much! I really want to focus more on my Work Ethic & Communication skills. I’ve always had trouble with getting my point across or explaining myself.

[@patriciaottone4083]

Erin - you are the best...I know this is an old video but you know...its so timeless and always relevant - keep doing all you do - it is so appreciated 💐

[@matteblack222]

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!

[@kendellcrier6534]

I want to work on being well read this month. Thank you! Your advise is helpful and inspirational.

[@ms.carballo3784]

Thank you for this valuable content Erin ! I plan on focusing on work ethic as a whole, my attention span is often spread over a million ideas and at work ... I do get "comfortable" . But I i have noticed when I put the effort in, I get better results in the end.

[@chazebankz2754]

Ms.Erin I just wanted to commend you on your videos I’ve been watching other videos just for more people info and directions about starting my business and I Enjoy the Way you explain these things in your videos! Very informative and easy to understand.. Thank you So much 🙏🏽

[@seamus203]

Just wanted to say, LUV ur vibe, authenticity, and transparency and clear helpful valuable content. I may not be a female, but u rock and I have subscribed, thank you. Soft skill... maybe going from ambitious ideas to realistic action by organizing my goals and setting realistic targets to achieve.

[@theoneandonlygamer5840]

I love your attitude! That you want to share your ideas for others to be successful!! We need more of this in the world... fix each other’s crowns!!! beautiful ❤️

[@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!

[@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! 😩

[@INTERESTEDINFORMEDINSPIRED]

🔥🙌🏿❤️ No words. Thank you. It’s all about BECOMING not just doing.

[@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!

[@kcvu9734]

My work ethic. I know I have a strong work ethic but like you said it’s much different when your pursuing passion projects. 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.

[@evrydae]

Wow! The wisdom you shared about courage blew me away. Thank you 🙏🏼💫

[@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!

[@Mercy2Grace40-5]

Wow! Wow!!! . I love this!!! Thank you so much for sharing. I am working on taking initiatives! That's why I subscribed to ur channel!👍

[@soroyanaomi2885]

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

Hello Erin, I came across your channel today as I was looking for advice to get my business up and running and I would like to thank and praise you for you amazing content. I have watched 3 and excited to continue on gaining some more knowledge, Thanks again and Stay Blessed.

[@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

[@omt2010]

I respect your knowledge. It is hard to find quality information on KZbin. I just subscribed❤️

[@asheditsbyashleybabette6553]

thanks Erin! Amazing info, as always ♥

[@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.

[@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.

[@dch3aa]

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

[@thefearlessmara]

I want to work on taking initiative this month! ✨ love your content 💛

[@zeevania]

The 2 skills I want to work on is my confidence and communication. This video was so helpful towards starting my business. I just want to start it with a strong foundation and that's starting with my mindset. So thank you Erin!

[@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.

[@udemeasian]

I need to strengthen my work ethic...dang. This reminds me of James Clear's book Atomic Habits, becoming the person who can achieve the goals you want. Wow thank you Erin.

[@diamon3301]

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

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.

Amazing advice, Erin! Thank you for sharing! Putting in the work by going the extra mile and showing your dedication to your craft can really set you apart from your competition. I loved how you mentioned communication as well - this is key to having a successful business. Without it, mistakes are easily made that could have been prevented by just voicing our concerns! Looking forward to hearing more!

[@julienofelbanaybanay786]

[@kemzi2454]

I want to get better at pitching myself and just being able to confidently speak about myself & my business and believe people will actually be interested in me. Thanks Erin!

[@TheYoungs2006]

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!

Erin, you really delivered a well spoken and quality content filled video. Thank you! Leaving comments is one way I try to practice my skills. Can I leave a comment that is not the general remark saying thank you?How about saying thank you in a way that'll attract the author's attention. You go girl!

[@camille4real1111]

This video was needed. I love your energy and appreciate your knowledge. There are more than one of these skills i need to work on, as someone who is working to get a new business off of the ground. I need to definitely work on my confidence and my courage. This year, 2020, is forcing me to do just that....and i like it.
