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   BEST MOMENTS ‘Throughout my career, I have had a lot of people put their trust in me’ ‘With business, I rely on my instinct’ ‘You have to make a decision to succeed for yourself’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Beehive Household podcast Shaa Wasmund website Shaa Wasmund Instagram   ABOUT THE HOST Nataliya Lloyd is a finance expert and after 15 years of studying and working in the industry, she changed tack and went with her dream of becoming an entrepreneur and followed her creative call.  She is now the owner of Nataliya Lloyd Interiors, with an Interior Design certification from the Chelsea College of Arts.
