As a young entrepreneur, Kiki has always had a desire to do more in her life. She has had multiple jobs growing up in the retail industry working at Hollister, Target, Regal Theaters, and other part time side jobs she picked up. Through those experiences, Kiki learned that she was getting overworked while being underpaid. She wanted a flexible schedule while being a full time masters student at University of Hawaii at Manoa. She believes that you can do it all, with the right mindset. Kiki has tips she wants to share with you if you're facing challenges with time and money.

-

1. Surround yourself with the right influences whether that includes: family, friends, and outside voices. Kiki plays podcasts and motivational videos to grow her mindset on the days she doesn't feel like working.

2. Know your priorities. Being able to schedule out your time is a game changer. Kiki plans her days on Sundays for the week and the night before in case something in her schedule changes. She also knows that life changes or throws some curveballs, so she leaves room in her schedule to adapt and adjust when random errands or events come up.

3. Show Up As Your Authentic Self. It's okay not to feel okay all the time. When you're real with yourself, you're able to give yourself grace when you aren't "doing the most." Sometimes we get so stuck on where we want to be, that we're not focused in being grateful for where we are currently at. 

4. Self Care. Take a day to treat yourself throughout the week or multiple days. Whatever works for you, you deserve it all. There's no right or wrong way to treat yourself. Kiki believe that you should do what sets your soul on fire.

5. Organize your life. Being able to physically plan your days on a planner or use apps digital apps like Google Calendar, Calendar, or Notion. Color coding helps categorize Kiki's thoughts and different parts of her life, for example: School, Business, Faith, Personal Life, Work, etc. 

Hope these tips help and you can use them for all aspects of your life!

Xoxo, Kiki
