How to Build Your Own Empire When Others Don't Give You What You Want, Social Media Icon Simonetta Lein

It's hard to imagine how Simonetta Lein accomplishes all that she does. She has over 1 Million extremely engaged Instagram followers who find inspiration in her messages of female empowerment and fashion. She's a successful model and journalist, and she runs a charity, The Wishwall Foundation, that helps others express and experience their wishes.

She and her now-husband decided to pick up their lives, leave their families and move across the ocean to reinvent themselves in America. Ten years later, she's calling the shots and she explains how you can too.We talk about how following your own moral code canprotect you from going down a wrong path, how hard work can be a cure-all, how something that starts out simple and close to your heart can become a huge movement you never expected and much, much more.   SHOWNOTES: “Philadelphia is not my original city nor is this country, but as an immigrant I was forced to find my own roots.”, (2:33).

Be determined, master your own mind, mediate, read books, do sports and do whatever that you can do to help yourself and your career, (36:55). “You tell me ‘NO’, I say it’s a challenge to keep on trying.”, (37:37). “Do one thing at a time, finish the task and move on to the next one.”, (39:04). “If you have a possibility, just do it because the only thing holding you back is fear, (41:30).   LINKS: Website: http://www.simonettalein.com/http://thewishwall.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/simonettalein/https://www.instagram.com/Thewishwallfoundation/ Business: https://ausoniapartners.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHpABEasYxL9TLySM_Qpdgw Twitter: https://twitter.com/SimonettaLein?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor   RELATED PAST EPISODES OF 10,000 “NO”s:   Marc Duplass- https://www.10000nos.com/episodes/ep-43mark-duplass-just-shoot-it?rq=mark   Suze Yalof Schwartz- https://www.10000nos.com/episodes/ep-39-unplug-meditation-ceofounder-suze-yalof-schwartz?rq=fashion   Drago Sumonja- https://www.10000nos.com/episodes/ep-12-lucky-screenwriter-slings-drinks-by-night-drago-sumonja?rq=italy   Emily Raiber-https://www.10000nos.com/episodes/ep-29-dr-drew-infertility-the-making-of-a-social-media-giant-emily-raiber?rq=media   Julie Wright- https://www.10000nos.com/episodes/ep-49-how-to-talk-to-your-kids-now-say-this-co-authors-heather-turgeon-julie-wright?rq=personal    Nataly Kogan- https://www.10000nos.com/episodes/ep-66nbspnbsphow-to-be-happier-now-happier-inc-founderceo-nataly-kogan?rq=personal     If you like what you hear, please Subscribe, leave an iTunes review and spread the word.
