#6: Pursuing your Dreams: Smart Persistence and Low Risk Decision Making with Vanessa Li, Law Student, Content Creator, and Founder of Ness (Part 1)

In part 1, we chat to Vanessa, Comm/Law student at the University of Sydney, about the experience of pursuing what she enjoys over becoming a lawyer, which she always saw herself as growing up. Since starting her Instagram about fashion and style, she was able to grow her online presence and found various businesses around her personal brand. We learn about Vanessa's persistence in growing her following to over 99k and the unexpected opportunities this created for her. We discuss how to pitch yourself well, handling rejection, and how Vanessa made the decision to pursue her projects full time over a conventional corporate career.
