We recently connected with Ashley Faith Council and have shared our conversation below.
Ashley Faith, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today What do you think matters most in terms of achieving success?
I believe in order to be successful you have to be fully committed and dedicated. You have to also remain teachable and not be afraid of constructive criticism. If you pay attention to some of most successful businesses and public figures of today, you have to understand that they went through multiple trials and errors to get to the level of success they have. Don’t always be afraid of failure but look at it as a lesson for where you could improve yourself and projection of your overall business. You have to set goals and understand time management. Don’t take on so much at one time that you become overwhelmed.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
My name is Ashley Faith Council and I am a model & serial entrepreneur . I was born and raised in Decatur, Georgia and I am the founder of Connected Mindsets.
Connected Mindsets started off as a discord server to help others find remote jobs, mental health support, life insurance education, & helping others properly set up their businesses. February of 2023 I created my official instagram account to help promote the services that I offer to others. My website is currently under construction and I plan on offering much more as well as hosting multiple events throughout the Metro-Atlanta area. I’ve helped over 50 different individuals find better paying jobs & affordable life insurance plans for their families.
There really isn’t a limit for me. I’m pretty much knowledgeable in every business industry. I believe that having trades and certifications under your belts keeps you from falling down on hard times.
I’m currently enrolled in the Google IT SUPPORT AND DATA ANALYTICS PROGRAM with Merit America. I love being able to work from the comfort of my home while helping others solve problems. In today’s society, it is very important to understand how technology and the internet works. Everything is digital. Knowing how to properly troubleshoot and resolve issues that others may not be able to do themselves is a great feeling.
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
Social Media and my peers played a big role of my success and overall reputation. I began working remotely back in 2021 when we were still fresh into the pandemic. I struggle for a long time finding a suitable remote position that could support my living expenses as well as my businesses expenses. I currently work part time as a certified banking specialist for USAA. I created my business to help relieve the stress and frustrations of that many face when trying to find good paying remote positions. Don’t get me wrong, I most definitely had to tweak and update my resume to stand of to various employers but once I secured my position with USAA , I was well on my way to creating a better life for me and my daughter. I began receiving various employment opportunities based off the skills and experience on my resumes. Later in the year of 2022, I began sharing and posting those job opportunities to my personal Instagram account and people continued to reach out for my help. In January of this year, I created my very own discord server for people to join to get first hand picks on the positions I get sent daily. I allow my members to private message me to help prepare them for the application and interview process with most positions.
Are there any books, videos, essays or other resources that have significantly impacted your management and entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy?
My favorite book to read would be The Entrepreneur Mind: 100 Essential Beliefs, Characteristics, and Habits of Elite Entrepreneurs. By Kevin D. Johnson. This book is where every ‘wannabe’ entrepreneur should start…these potentially controversial mindsets ring true.
In this book, Mr. Johnson has done a remarkable job synthesizing the key points about successful entrepreneurship. In valuable detail, he discusses his own enlightening experiences and those of well-known entrepreneurs to help readers get it right the first time. This book is an important resource for current and aspiring entrepreneurs. He stitches together actual life scenarios and outcomes that every entrepreneur needs to understand. This book doesn’t live in the clouds like some others do.
The Entrepreneur Mind provides an easy-to-understand blueprint for success. It can be used by anyone wanting to make their dream a reality or aiming to take their business to the next level. In this book, Kevin gives key step-by-step principles for building a strong business foundation from idea to execution, and it is truly a must read for everyone ready to step out on faith to start their own enterprise. I RECOMMEND ANYONE STARTING A BUSINESS READ THIS BOOK!!!!
