Summary

I’ve met so many successful influencers and content creators in my time on the Instagram platform, and after a while, I began to realize that quite a few of them have some very similar traits in common. In this episode, I’ll be discussing those traits, which include: - being self-aware about your skills and experience - willingness to experiment and try new things - the TRUTH about talent - why consistency in showing up is SO important in the beginning - why you NEED to be willing to make yourself uncomfortable.

I'm your host Tina Lee (@ofleatherandlace) I'm sharing some of my expertise and industry information, to help you decode social media, and create content that helps aspiring creatives like you become full-time influencers so you can also do what you love for a living!

0:00.0	It means that you're going to be uncomfortable. It means that you're going to be a little bit desperate,
0:06.0	but that desperation will push you to do great things. It will help you grow beyond what you thought you were capable of.
0:14.0	And that's the one thing that I always see most successful influencers have in common.
0:31.0	Welcome to the full-time influencer podcast. I'm your host, Tina Lee, and I'll be sharing industry knowledge and social media tips through weekly interviews with established
