Shaa Wasmund MBE talks to Nataliya about her incredible journey and how she went from having nothing to highly influential and successful business entrepreneur.

They discuss what it really takes to be successful and Shaa explains how being resilient, driven, seeing the opportunities, and having someone give you a break have all been a part of her journey.

This is a great opportunity to hear from someone who has taken action and changed everything by having the courage to follow her heart and the determination to succeed

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• I had to work for everything I have and I’m proud of the battle scars I’ve got along the way
• My Nan has been my rock throughout my life
• I was very driven from an early age because I understood that if my circumstances were going to change it would only come from me
• I wouldn’t take ‘no’ for an answer and from an early age I knew who I was and who I wasn’t
• I had to outwork and outsmart everyone else
• What happened to me would never have happened without the support of others, everyone needs someone to give them a break
• When you get an opportunity it’s about living up to the opportunity you have been given
• We discredit our educational system by not teaching about things that really matter and what kids want to know
• It’s not that I’m a unicorn it’s that something in my DNA made me different – more resilient and more driven
• Being resilient has meant I could take all the crap that I had to go through and it didn’t consume me
• Being driven has meant that I used everything as a driver to move forward rather than a breaker that held me back
• When I don’t enjoy something anymore I stop doing it.
• For me, the key to life is finding your own path and doing what’s right for you
