This was me in 2007 when I entered into college! People thought I was lying when I told them that I got paid to go to school! Paid off my 1st car, took vacations, paid up my rent for a few months at a time, ALL with my refund checks! Hahaha!

[@haliibby]

@@ChrissyRob omg I love this for us!!! Congratulations on all your success

[@serena_bee]

What's crazy is that I was just catching up on your video where you spoke of the butterfly effect. Loving the persistence in reaching “that goal”. ✨

[@haliibby]

Aww Serena! Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying the content and finding value in it - that is honestly my goal! Keep pushing forward, and remember that every small step counts. Thanks for watching and for your thoughtful comments!

[@makays.corner]

I’m about to transfer to a 4-year university (I’m in a Community college rn) I was wondering what I could do to make the most of my university experience and your video literally answered my questions! ✨ My goals are to use the entrepreneurship centers to help me build my future business, have a government or nonprofit accountant job by the time I graduate, create content as a hobby, and maintain my mental and physical health😌 Thank you for making this video, it was perfect timing for me😭

[@haliibby]

I LOVE TO HEAR IT!!! I'm so glad to hear that my video was helpful and that it was perfecting tooo! But seriously, It sounds like you have some amazing goals lined up for your university experience and I'm so excited for you! Here are a few extra tips to help you make the most of your time at the university: Engage with the Entrepreneurship Center: you're already on this but definitely get involved early, attend workshops, seek mentorship, and collaborate with peers on business ideas. Pursue Internships: Look for opportunities in government agencies or nonprofits to gain relevant experience. Joining professional organizations can also be beneficial & help you network! Content Creation: Dedicate time each week to create & stay consistent! Prioritize Health: Regular exercise, mindfulness practices, and maintaining a balanced lifestyle will help you stay on track. Stay Organized: Effective time management and seeking support when needed are key to balancing everything. Best of luck with your transfer and achieving your goals! I can't wait for you to experience it! Keep striving for greatness!

@@haliibby Thank you for the tipsss🥹

[@sweetpea3134]

@@makays.corner sorry i'm late but i wanted to add to this as well! if you're in the US and want internships in government sector, look into PCIP and PALACE Acquire. PCIP is for current college students, PALACE is for recent graduates. also look into your local government (on the city or county level) and they'll have internship positions. and if you don't have Handshake already, get it, because it helps so much to find paid and volunteer opportunities, as well as career fairs. all the best!

[@misshokage4832]

im 21 and i havent been to collage , I've always wanted to but I somehow just never went . i feel like I'm way behind . watching this helped me want something goof for myself . idk how I'm gonna do it but I shall .

[@literallyleo7]

you’ve got this! if you have a community college near you that can be a good place to start :)

[@Themindfuldev]

I too am 21 and I'm just starting my first year this fall! You're not alone, go for it !!

[@haliibby]

Don't worry about being 21 and just starting college. It's never too late to pursue your dreams & you are still soo young! Take it one step at a time-research programs, apply for financial aid, and start with a few courses. Your life experiences will only enhance your journey. You've got this!!!

[@ariela_]

Can you talk about networking a little more and How to do it

[@haliibby]

yess maaam I will make more videos on career and that will include networking! In general tho networking is all about building relationships that can help you academically and professionally. Start by joining clubs and organizations related to your interests. Attend events, workshops, and seminars where you can meet people. Don't hesitate to introduce yourself to professors and classmates. Use LinkedIn to connect with professionals in your field and participate in online discussions. Remember, networking is about genuine connections, so be yourself and stay curious

[@chiderabrittney]

I love this video thank you so much!

[@haliibby]

I’m so happy it was helpful ❤

[@empress240]

As an upcoming high school senior, I would really really appreciate if you make a video about how you created and formatted your resume!

[@haliibby]

@@empress240 all that and more coming soon!! That will be apart of my career series! I also shared this exact video idea on tiktok @haliibby! I post a lot of career content on there🩷

[@haliibby]

Thank you beautiful ❤️❤️

[@aly6876]

thank you for this video! im struggling in uni rn and im pretty scared about my future :/

[@haliibby]

I'm so glad the video was helpful! Take things one step at a time, and don't hesitate to reach out for support from advisors, professors, and friends. You've already made it to uni, and that's a huge achievement in itself that you worked hard to get! Keep going-you've got this!

[@Joshzu]

Keep doing what you’re doing you’re intelligent

[@haliibby]

Thank you!!

[@wbbys1774]

The question is the next, are you in the position that you had planning? Do you do this advices to enhance your real life? At least I aprecciate yours advices.❤️❤️

[@haliibby]

Yup! It’s subjective to each individual and their current position in life 💕

[@AlatOnDemand]

4:16 “get somebody else to do it” LMAOOOO REAL. I swear African parents want us to be Doctors, Lawyers or Engineers. I see the vision, that they want the best for us, but it’s not that easy fam 😭

[@haliibby]

@@AlatOnDemand it’s not easy at all!!😭😭 and for them to just decide the whole trajectory of my life is crazy especially in something I’m not interested in LOL

[@user-uv9st7er9i]

could you talk about networking? im in highschool and i really want to get into finance after, but i have bo family connections in the field or anything

[@haliibby]

Of course! I will be doing a video dedicated to networking but even without family connections, you can still build a strong network in finance. Start by joining finance-related clubs at your school. Look for internships, part-time jobs, or volunteer opportunities in finance to gain experience and meet people in the industry. Attend finance-related events and workshops in your community or online. Use LinkedIn to connect with professionals and ask them for advice or informational interviews. Don't be afraid to reach out-most people are happy to help someone starting out!

[@isha1006]

Make a video about how to invest when young and with little money. Where to start?

[@haliibby]

YESSS I have so much planned for this channel and financial literacy is a biggg one! I got you hehe

[@miacatrin3364]

what research or books did you use for finacial literacy research

[@haliibby]

I started with Atomic habits with my financial literacy journey. It is a self development book but it got me thinking about my financial habits! Here are some books: - Get good with money - Rich dad Poor dad (Classic!) - The intelligent investor!!! - The psychology of money (sooo good) - Your money or your life - culture cash - Girls that invest (have not started yet) - the black girl's guide to financial freedom (have not read but heard good reviews) There is soo many books tho! There are technical ones where they get to the point or ones with story I also loveee podcasts: - the personal finance podcast - This is money - brown ambition - the mindset mentor Hope this helps :)

I’ve been too laid back and using my struggles as excuses I have to push thru and plan ahead if I want greatness thank you so much for this video you deserve so much more followers than you have right now but it will come in time 🤍🤍

[@haliibby]

OMG you made my whole week! Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so glad the video resonated with you!! Recognizing the need to step up and plan ahead is a powerful first step. Keep pushing through your struggles and stay focused on your goals. Your determination will pay off, and I'm rooting for your success. Thanks for the support-it means a lot, and I believe great things are ahead for both of us!!
