Cubicle to CEO

48. Why Being An Overnight Success Is A Lie

Want to know how I made over $102,000 in a 6 month time span last year? Download my 6 Figures in 6 Months Income Report at the bottom of my homepage: ellenyin.com


If you’re familiar with my six figures in six months income report, today’s guest is the woman who inspired it. In early 2018, I discovered Elise Darma’s blog where she shared her income reports at the end of every month, detailing how much revenue she made in the business, where she spent her money, what her profit margins were, and how much she paid herself. I was inspired by her transparency and tired of the lack of accountability from industry gurus who made flashy claims about their earnings without revealing expenses or profits, so I decided to release my own monthly income reports from January through July of 2019.


We discussed both the benefits and drawbacks of sharing your personal finances with the Internet in depth in today’s episode. For those of you who are unfamiliar with her work, Elise is an Instagram Strategist and agency owner who has collectively grown Instagram accounts to over 250,000, brokered hundreds of deals between influencers and brands, and been featured in publications such as Forbes, Brit + Co, and Entrepreneur.


Listen in to hear why being an overnight success is a lie and what it’s like to be a digital nomad running a multi-six figure business, including her personal experience at the now infamous disaster, the Fyre Festival.
