I’m back with another online business success story I know you guys are going to love. Today’s guest is Shayna Oliveira, founder of EspressoEnglish.net, and she’s brought some words of wisdom on the long and unpredictable road to entrepreneurial success.
When Shayna published her first ebook back in 2012, she didn’t wake up to overnight success. In fact, six months into building her online business, she was still only seeing small, incremental growth. That didn’t stop her, however. Through hard work, persistence, and smart strategy, Shayna transformed Espresso English into her full-time source of income, allowing her to quit her day job and focus on teaching English to her devoted online audience.
It’s easy to fixate on the flashy, exciting “overnight success” stories of the online business world. But it’s stories like Shayna’s—where smart, committed business owners pursue their goals in spite of daunting odds—that pack the truly valuable lessons for aspiring entrepreneurs. Enjoy!
