In this episode I had the amazing opportunity to sit down with Reece Sims.  She's  a Personal Branding Strategist and host a very unique podcast with an equally unique name called – The Lovenoteworthy Show.  We discuss her journey towards entrepreneurship and the values of networking and creating your own opportunities.

Here are the highlights of my conversation with Reece:

• The events leading to Reece’s drive to start a women-focused podcast and about her aim to showcase women in leadership roles to inspire other women that they can be competitive in the business space as well.
• The importance of networking and her tips on how to start and nurture connections as early as in college by joining different clubs, being in student government and being in activities which could broaden your reach even outside of your university.
• Where her income streams come from and the value of always having side hustle.
• Her three main reasons for building her podcast and about her engagement in Novus television and why she chose to spend time and effort in building a presence in this platform.
• The value of creating your own opportunities, going to extra mile and coming up with your own initiatives rather than waiting,

Notable Quote:

Mentorship is a really important tool to help you validate and define what path you are going through and to get advice based on experience.

A Couple More Pearls of Wisdom:

Always treat everybody as a prince regardless of their status because you never know who knows the right person that you need to connect with.

Creating opportunities is key and going above and beyond expectations is going to make people want to work with you. It shows that you are committed and that you are serious.
