HEAR MORE ABOUT JACKIE MUSCAT:Jackie is a mum, mural artist and a Facebook coach.
“After her son was born, something awakened in her that made her feel that there is so much more to life”.
“Jackie has skilled herself to use her time, fulltime, with two businesses”.
She realized that if she rushed it – would not have worked. She did have 7 business failures before.
She talks a lot about Netflix and digs Facebook marketing tactics for a normal person.
She comes from a corporate business side. But she soon realized she had a passion for art, but didn’t make a fruitful business of it. Jackie is not a ‘yes’ person, she will speak out.
Jackie’s father is a painter and she does mural paintings as well. Although, she did not paint for 12 years until after her son was born, she painted a mural in his room and she just happened to put it on her personal Facebook profile, when people were commenting on it – absolutely loving it! That’s when Jackie had an ‘A-ha’ moment and thought ‘hang on a moment, this is something I could do for a living’. Jackie says “I’m half artistic and half logical”.
Jackie admits that she never had to really study hard to get A-grades.
After realizing what she could do with her murals on Facebook, Jackie learned all about online marketing.
Jackie was being asked a lot on how to advertise on Facebook.
She says she gets her inspirations for her artwork from her clients and Pinterest.
Jackie does not have a lot of Blogs on her page, but she has a lot of business.
Coming up with ideas on Facebook, she says, is not easy.
FAVOURITE QUOTE TO SHARE WITH THE WORLDThere is no such word as can't. My Dad would say this to me and now it's my belief system. I might not be able to do things right now but "how" can I learn? How can I get there? No such word as can't.
ONE BOOK YOU SHOULD READOne of my mentors is Ramit Sethi, I love his direct approach to business, how he is logic to the core and is big on research and testing, not gut feelings. His latest book "Your Move: The Underdog’s Guide to Building Your Business" is Sethi through and through and I'm enjoying it. If you want a no nonsense guide to getting those ideas into action - call on Ramit.
