Diversifying your income like a BOSS | The Pay Off with Sylvia Jeffreys

"Oh, you're just a little girl with a dream". Those were the words Sammy Robinson heard after pitching her clothing company idea to a male investor. That company, One Mile, now has two Sydney stores (and growing) and sold out on its first day of launch back in 2020... In this episode of The Pay Off, Sammy talks about how she feels being labelled an 'influencer', her early days on social media, building the One Mile brand, being underestimated and why diversifying your income is crucial.
