167. Being Successful in Business & Life as an Asian Woman Entrepreneur The Thought Leader Club | Content Creation & Personal Brand Strategy For Side Hustles and Entrepreneurs

    • Entrepreneurship

Whether you’re thinking of quitting a high paying job, starting a business, or wanting to become a successful content creator, there’s probably a lot of pressure on you to stay in a traditional career path and NOT pursue your big, audacious dreams… Especially if you’re an Asian woman. 
 
Growing up with Asian parents taught us to work hard and aim to become a doctor, lawyer, engineer, or banker… Otherwise, you’re a failure.    
 
In this episode, we cover: 
- How to balance what your Asian immigrant parents want versus what you truly want
- Cheryl's story of quitting law school, quitting PhD, and building my own entrepreneurial career 
- Taking responsibility over your decisions, even if your Asian parents don't support you
