Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in coaching but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Victoria Drummond, Founder of The Golden Edge Co., located in Washington, DC, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
The name of my business is The Golden Edge Co, and my customers are small business owners seeking to GROW their social media through consistent and organic social media marketing efforts! We LOVE to take brands to the next level by helping them create a brand philosophy and understand their true target audience and how to appeal to that particular audience through specific social media platforms.
Tell us about yourself
With a degree in Mass Communications and Marketing, I have always had a huge passion for the social media marketing world. I started as a social media intern in college. Eventually, I continued taking on new social media/digital marketing roles! After building my experience as an intern and full-time roles with larger corporations, I decided to take the leap of faith into creating a business of my own! I am motivated each day by thinking of my clients who have put their trust in me and The Golden Edge team. I treat every client's business like my own and give 110% to each customer. There is no better feeling than hearing my clients say they have received their biggest month to date, Instagram is their biggest lead source, or people have been reaching out due to the social media marketing efforts. I truly live for those moments!
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner is realizing that I am achieving my wildest dreams and more. Personally, I have never loved the standard 9-5 job and the duties that come with it. I have always dreamt of owning my own business, setting my hours, and being my own boss. I feel so proud that The Golden Edge Co is inches away from becoming a six-figure company in only nine months. Thanks to our incredible clients and my business coach, Hannah Metz, with The Beaute Societe!
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
In my opinion, one of the hardest things about being a business owner is the ability to realize your worth. It's hard to know how much to price your services, what boundaries to set, and what processes to stick to. Especially as a new business owner, this was a tough one for me to navigate in the beginning.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
For anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today, first of all, CONGRATULATIONS! You completed the first step of having the desire to just go for it, and I am so excited for you! My biggest advice is to hire a business coach as soon as possible to help you work through the exact niche you want to stick with, the processes you will implement, and your pricing! This is KEY! I also recommend following along with other industry professionals to gain insight into what is working for them and how you would like to run your own business! Lastly, believe in yourself and know you can do this! Of course, you will have hard days, but I promise it is SO worth it!
