We had the good fortune of connecting with Naja Small and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Naja, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
If I can be honest and transparent, the more I worked for other companies, sat at a job for 8 hours that I hated, or struggled finding happiness working for others, it was easy to start the entrepreneur process. I already had a few clients on the side, so it just took me planning and structuring, then attempting to secure more clients.
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
It’s not easy being an entrepreneur, much less an entrepreneur and creative. There are always ups and downs. The entrepreneur life is not for the weak minded.
I feel like my experience in so many different roles have made me the person and business owner that u I am today. Actor, Director, Producer, Video Editor, Pro Wrestler, Dancer, to sum it up I’ve done a lot as a creative.
The biggest advice I can give is consistency is key. Consistent quality, posting, contacting clients, advertising, and training..
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I’m not as active as I need to be in the city but food spots such as Negril, Juicy Crab, and Pappadeaux.
Events at Mercedes Benz Stadium/State Farm Arena (wrestling, football games, basketball games, concerts)
Nitro Zone Fun park (games, ninja course, trampolines)
Platinum Championship Wrestling
Southern Fried championship Wrestling
We definitely have to hit the Spa or my Chiropractor for massages (100% Chiropractic Decatur)
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I will shout out my cousin Cat Harper, actor, personality, and owner of Cat Harper Photography. Cat has alway pushed my entrepreneur and creative side. Cat always gives positive and real feedback.
I will also give a shout-out to my parents who always has supported and had my back!
