Among the many women entrepreneurs currently taking the spotlight in the field of business, Holly Valentine is another name on the list. She is a social media influencer, a businesswoman, and a powerful advocate for the female empowerment movement.
Starting small, like any other businesswoman, Holly Valentine worked from the ground up to become one of today’s most well-known social influencers. She has more than 1.5 million followers on her social media platforms and is a prominent figure breaking the stereotypes of the business world.
In as little as two years, Holly Valentine has made a name for herself in business as the proud owner of a beverage company. In addition, she also does modeling, which helps her business grow as she has her legs dipped in multiple areas of business.
Breaking down the stigma that most people have about models in the industry, Holly Valentine has paved the way for more influencers and personalities like herself to reach for the stars and build on one’s passion for growing themselves and their careers, despite unpopular opinions.
Before the Success and Fame
Holly was always a top student and always excelled in her studies, even when she was a student at Cal State Fullerton. Slowly stepping into the world of business from this young age, Holly’s recognition allowed her to be scouted by a renowned marketing agency, offering her a position in the company. Thus began her journey in business, learning and growing as she worked with some of the biggest clients.
Holly knew firsthand that her experience in the workplace would give her the resources and skills she needed to start her own company later down the line. She was inspired to become an influencer by working with influencers in the agency.
Now using all the knowledge she had learned from working with them, she started growing her little fan base until she became a sensation that everyone on social media was soon talking about.
With her extensive expertise in social media marketing, it was like a cakewalk for Holly to enter the world of influencers.
Although she never imagined that her growth would scale up to millions, it was no surprise, in hindsight, that she became as successful as she is today. Holly says the first time she realized how successful she was, was when she would get messages from influencers or personalities that she used to admire or be a fan of, asking her to collaborate with them.
Holly’s Success Story
“I’ve always led with the idea that if you do good work, you will get the respect you deserve regardless of your background.”
Her past in the business industry not only led her to become successful online as an influencer but also as a businesswoman. As her audience grew more significant, she saw an opportunity to maximize her resources and use them to bring her even more revenue. Thus began her journey as a successful businesswoman.
There’s a lingering stigma of women in the modeling industry who are seen as nothing more than just models, but Holly busted open that orthodox way of thinking when she launched her own company.
Now she was posing for photo shoots as a model one day and walking into a meeting room, demanding respect and attention as a CEO the next day.
As a successful career woman, the one piece of advice she has for aspiring businessmen and women is to always keep your focus on the journey, as it is the journey that makes you who you are and not the destination.
She mentions that if she has to credit anything for her success, it has to be her never give up attitude that she carries with her throughout every venture.
Paving the Future Path With Holly Valentine
With her career taking off to a great start, she says it is only the beginning of her empire. She is looking forward to launching even more projects and is working on some currently.
However, her ultimate goal is to be a woman who paves the way for other women. She has always been vocal about her stance on women’s empowerment. She wishes to use her platy to shed more light on this section of society. She is an inspiration to many young women today, and we hope she continues to be.
