In honor of Women’s History Month, I would like to continue to highlight modern entrepreneurs who are making changes in their communities as well as the small business world. This week I selected to interview Cici Gunn, "The Six Figure Chick." I found her story to be powerful and I wanted to share it with the world. Cici Gunn is a prime example of how you can take lemons and turn them into lemonade. Cici is cancer survivor and an Instagram Strategist who teaches entrepreneurs how to create content, collect coins and use influence to build income.
Q: What/who inspired you to become an social media entrepreneur?
A: Necessity, I was as accidental entrepreneur. I was diagnosed with cancer in 2013 started sharing my story on Instagram. I began to build a community that eventually started to ask to pay me for the information I was providing. It became a great way to focus on positive things while going through chemo.
Q: What is your purpose?
A: To help someone who thinks they can't succeed, see an example of what's possible.
Q: How have your past experiences influenced you?
A: Just life in general, I've been a bookworm all of my life and it has been the biggest influence in staying interested in growing my brand and helping my community.
Q: Fall or Summer?
A: Fall!! I'm a southern girl but can't stand being hot. Fall is my favorite season because there's a calmness to the world.
