About This 4-Day Video Series

Hi! Rochelle here and in this 4-day video series, I share my journey, insights and practical tips on breaking out of the corporate world.

I spent 20 years in Finance & Tech working for some of the biggest names in the industry and it took almost 8 years for me to finally make the leap and step out on my own.

In 2017, I left the corporate world for good. And in 2018, I started Tiny Rock Media - a digital marketing agency and a business based on what I love to do and where I enjoy time freedom and location freedom.

If you want to know what it takes to make the shift, what roadblocks you need to overcome, and what awaits you on the other side, watch this series!

Day 1 - Find Your Ikigai

I’ve always wanted a lifestyle where I could enjoy time and location freedom doing something I love to do.

So from 2010 to 2018, I tried (and failed) at and toyed with these businesses and freelance jobs:

• Forex trading
• Stay at home mom blog
• AliExpress Dropshipping
• Crypto trading
• Udemy courses
• Blockchain For Social Good jobs board
• Health blog
• Transcription
• Filling out surveys
• Data entry
• Freelance writing
• Online English teacher
• Affiliate marketing
• And many more I can’t remember...

All of these businesses are popular ways to make money online. And they could give me time and location freedom, but I was FAILING at them. Why?

After 8 years of trying stuff, I finally figured out Why. I ‘cracked the code’ so to speak. And no, it’s not rocket science. In fact, the formula is a simple one.

The Japanese call it Ikigai “A reason for being”. For me, Ikigai means 4 powerful energies coming together in alignment.

The Power 4

• What you love
• What you are good at
• What you can be paid for
• What the world needs

In this video, learn how I have found all 4 in my digital marketing business and how you too can Find Your Ikigai and make money doing what you love.
