In 2015 Nadine, from Switzerland, was working a 9 to 5 desk job feeling completely miserable. At the same time, she was just finishing her undergrad—but to Nadine this felt pointless. What exactly was she studying and working towards? To work longer and harder hours at a different desk job that she would not enjoy? This is why Nadine made a change.
A week after completing her undergrad, Nadine decided to take off and travel for a few months where she eventually landed in Bali. Her family urged her to come back to Switzerland to continue living “real life” and get a steady job. In Bali, she saw others working completely from their computers and creating their own working schedules, so Nadine starting searching for ways she could do the same!
With her determination, Nadine started building her own social media management business. She took online classes, read countless books, reached out to many people to network, and learned how to create a successful brand. As she started gaining clients, her business grew—she began making more money than she had at her 9 to 5 job! Nadine was able to work around her own schedule and continue to travel, all while doing something she was truly passionate about!
Now, Nadine still works as a social media manager, but she also teaches other women how to do the same through her mentorship program, The Social Shells. Because Nadine had to start her business from scratch without any sort of mentor, she created the Social Shells in order to help others who are in the same position that she once was a few years ago.
“I believe in community over competition and want to help as many women as possible to live their dream life! Instead of making the same mistakes as I did, you can take the shortcut and learn the direct path to freedom!”
Nadine continues to grow her business all while living her absolute dream life!
I love this for a few reasons. First of all, she is working my absolute dream job. But more importantly, it’s so cool to see how passionate she is about teaching others how to live out their dreams! It seems like so many people kind of just “settle” for a mundane life, but I love that Nadine took initiative and used her entrepreneurial spirit to create the life she wanted.
