Marilyn Nix is a 6-figure entrepreneur, Social Media and Luxury Lifestyle influencer, and coach on Instagram with over 700k followers.
What is your entrepreneurial story? How did you come about building your business?
I was always around my parent’s friends, older business owners who lived a very posh and jet-setting life. Now, I was raised spoiled, we can’t lie about that but I wasn’t born into a jet setting lifestyle however, I knew from being around it and getting used to it, dating men who gave it to me, I would make it my own life without any man’s help and I finally achieved it. I then decided it’s time to show other women how to live the same life as an influencer and coach.
What is your business model — how were you able to grow so fast?
I empower and coach individuals and companies on how to grow their Instagram and make money by collaborating with brands. But that’s not limited to only coaching you how to grow your Instagram. I also promote how capable women can be being her own boss and while staying fab in slaying every goal in their lives by sharing beauty tips that I learned being in the beauty industry. Helping them build their own business and helping women get what they want and be the best they can be. To simply put it, I help women and businesses grow.
Can you give me an overview of who you are, what is your educational or overall background?
I have been in the fashion and beauty industry since I was a teenager. I went to the Art Institute of Miami for both fashion, marketing, and a business degree, went UALR for business and marketing, and attended Wade College in Texas for both fashion and marketing and worked with the biggest names in the business internationally. Once social media started, I jumped on the bandwagon ahead of time and learned every trick and trade out there and have made myself a brand name, and now, in the last 5 years, I have been making others a name in the social media world and making it their career.
What are some of your achievements?
I was number one in Entrepreneurship in the country in high school and college for business. I even received awards from President Clinton, several Mayors, and Governors for my acts of volunteering and charity work, receiving different honors from multiple designers for the highest ratings of my work. For me, awards are only bonuses, the real achievement is the feeling of satisfaction that I feel whenever I successfully achieve my goals.
What have you learned through your experiences as an entrepreneur that can be used by aspiring business individuals?
Even with the success that I now have, my experiences as an entrepreneur was never that smooth. There are ups and downs and she even at some point doubted her decisions. But as I go through my journey as an entrepreneur, I’ve kept the passion for every goal that I have, stayed diligent, and kept a positive perspective. I learned that it is important to challenge yourself and face your fears in every step that you take rather than doubting your decisions, make it as a motivation and you will surely learn a lot from it, especially if you are an aspiring business individual.
What makes your business so unique and successful?
Starting with the great team that I hired for character and values that fits my company tells her apart from others. A very dedicated team with the same mindset as her and values that align perfectly with my company. With this, it makes running my business smoothly.
The years of experience being around people and working for the biggest names in the fashion and beauty industry internationally, and with the knowledge I have, you know that I really know this business well. My passion and sincerity to share this experience and knowledge to others gained trust from a lot of people which leads me to become successful as a coach and influencer.
What have you learned through your journey as an entrepreneur?
Being around business-minded people at a very young age helped me on my journeys as an entrepreneur, note-the fastest way to change yourself is to hang out with people who are already the way you want to be. I learned that building a great team is a very important key to a successful business. So I hire for character and values with a mindset that I can always train someone on skills, but can’t make someone’s values fit my company. And one of the most important things that I learned and had kept me in track in achieving success is by knowing exactly what my goal is. I set my goals and remind myself of them each day.
What skills and attributes make you as successful as you are?
“Nobody starts as master of something they are good at,” I always say. It was my sincerity, dedication, passion, and willingness to learn new things without the fear of failing that made me successful in the career that I have chosen. I believe that everyone can do it if they put their heart and mind to it, believing in themselves and never be afraid to fail.
Why is online business, marketing, etc important?
Now that most people around the world spend most of their time online, it has now become a great way to market your brand. I decided to jump on the bandwagon ahead of time when social media very first started and learned everything that I needed to learn about it and it made me successful in the industry.
For me, social media is an essential piece of business marketing strategy and a very effective one since social media platforms help you connect with your customers more easily, increase awareness about your brand, and boost your leads and sales. With more than three billion people around the world using social media every month, it’s no passing trend. It has the power to increase customer loyalty and helps you build stronger customer relationships no matter what kind of business you have.
