Ten minutes with Olivia
01What do you attribute your success to?
My focus around my mindset is huge. I am obsessed with learning, I'm obsessed with growing and evolving. I love to learn a new skill, whether that is a technical skill that will help me in my job, or if it's a skill around limited beliefs, or mindfulness, meditation. Being coachable, but also being your own coach, making sure you're giving yourself all of the resources and the education. I am also a huge believer in investing in coaching. I've worked with several different professional coaches over the years to help keep me accountable and on track.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
It's not that hard. In fact, it can be one of the most empowering careers. You have the control when you're in sales, you can control what you make. You can control what you earn. Who you work with. It's really kind of taking on essentially your own business but without a lot of the risk. We are really hard on ourselves and we never think we're doing enough. Letting it be easy, letting it be enough, and just owning your successes.
