We had the good fortune of connecting with Honey Sheer Basmayor and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Honey Sheer, what is the most important factor behind your success?
I think “consistency” is your middle name.

This is the comment that I have been getting from everyone who comes into my world. I am all about consistency. I believe consistency beats talent every single time so even if I am not the best which I am trying to be, I am their go-to expert. This has been the most important factor behind the success of my brand and that’s what I am offering my clients too. To give them consistency; consistency in showing up, consistency in engaging, consistency in nurturing, consistency to build momentum. That’s how I get the name “Queen of Consistency”.

Unfortunately being consistent is not easy. It needs determination, commitment and discipline.

So here’s 𝟯 𝘁𝗶𝗽𝘀 to help you 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲 and eventually a habit:

•𝗦𝗘𝗧 𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗢𝗡 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗣𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗘

Set a daily reminder that is ongoing on your phone that pops up that you need to do something. Since we want to be consistent in showing up in groups, set a reminder that at 9:00am for 15mins I will go to this group to engage. Overtime, it will become easier for you getting that reminder and you’ll just form a habit out of it and you won’t forget.

•𝗔𝗖𝗖𝗘𝗣𝗧 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗥𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗠𝗕𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗦𝗧 𝟭𝟬 𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗦 𝗪𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗦𝗨𝗖𝗞
Accept that the first 10 mins will kind of suck. Remember that it will get better after that. This is just a mindset hack. When we feel bored with the first 10 mins of doing something, that’s when we procrastinate. But having that mindset like, “okay, I need to get this done. The first 10 will kind of suck but after that I will get into the groove and I will be in a roll”

•𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗧 𝗦𝗠𝗔𝗟𝗟
So if you want to be consistent in showing up but it’s too overwhelming, start in 1 group (your favorite one) and just comment on 5 recent posts. You don’t have to engage for 30 mins or more when you are starting. That’s how you set yourself up for failure. So start with 5 recent post. I’m sure it won’t take much of your time to congratulate someone or answer their question. And in the next morning increase it to 6 people, in the next morning into 7 people. This will make forming the habit so much easier.

𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸, 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲.

Being consistent is the same as forming a habit. It will help your business grow and will also give you consistent flow of clients, data and understanding on your clients. Why don’t you give it a try?

What should our readers know about your business?
I started my business with $100 left in my bank account. Literally the only money we had and it’s the pandemic. Everything was shutdown and we couldn’t do anything about it. But I took the risk and actually trusted my gut and myself. I paid $97 for a 1 month bootcamp. Good thing we have government provisions that time or else we wouldn’t have anything to feed ourselves. I got a client 15 days into the bootcamp. I hustled like 12 hours a day jumping from one rabbit hole to another. I stay awake in the middle of the night just to join multiple trainings. I hustled for the next 2 months and eventually that kind of life style burn me out. I stopped and rested. I rethink my strategy and find what’s working for me. So what really did work for me? Consistency, building relationships and helping by giving advice when someone needs it according to my expertise. I got fullt booked after 3 months, built my own agency on my 6th month and finally got a 5 figure month on my 10th month.

Entrepreneurship is hard and it never gets easy with time. I grew and I became resilient. I built a team of 15 people and it’s been 15 months since I started my business. I believe that failure we can do alone but success always needs help. I want the world to know that my brand is caring, cheerful and resilient. We care about our client’s businesses like it’s our own. We strategize and accept that things might fail but we also carry the lesson we get from every failure we faced. We always face challenges together and together we will win. We want to work with people who are willing to fail and succeed with us.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I always loved the beach and all thing water related! I’d tour you around beaches and islands all weel long! We will ride a boat to reach the islands! We will bring along lunches with us with grilled meat, fish and other seafoods! We will have mangoes, watermelons and coconut! We will snorkle and check out the wonderful sea creatures! We will take lots of pictures! In the evening we will walk along the streets and check out some street foods. Have a conversation while hanging out by the sea.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Shout out to an amazing friend who I just met virtually, Vanessa Gorham! She has been my cheerleader ever since the day we met! When imposter syndrome strikes, she is one of the people who crushes it with me! She is more than that as well! She is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to tech and marketing. When it comes to building relationships, SHE IS AMAZING!! It’s her middle name! HAHHAH
