We had the good fortune of connecting with Victoria Jackson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Victoria, do you disagree with some advice that is more or less universally accepted?
It’s more a phrase. “I’ll sleep when I’m dead.” I can’t stand that. Sleep is absolutely important to healthy brain function. Yes you can grind for your dreams & goals. You need sleep, even if it’s just a few hours.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Since I was a little girl, I’ve always known I’d have a career in business. I said to myself “I want my own business and to work with my friends.” I did just that. I got to where I am by working hard while working smart. I was eager to learn and not afraid to work for free, work long hours and put other people in my ecosystem. It is not easy. There were many nights of tears, exhaustion, and doubt. I overcame the obstacles by believing in God and in myself. I constantly had to silence the fear and imposter syndrome. I had to believe in me like how others did. Along the way I’ve learned that I can do anything. I know it sounds cliche, but it’s the truth. I want the world to know that Ajabu Business Consulting can and will help your business dreams come true. I want the world to know that I, Victoria, fought hard for everything I have and I’m nowhere near done.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Eat: Gocha’s Breakfast Bar or Call Chef Chianti and see if she’s in town to cook a private dinner. Drink: Copper Cove Restaurant & Bistro
Visit: High Museum of Art or Atlanta Botanical Garden
Hang Out: With friends. We all work so hard and sometimes we need a break from the outside world.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My Ecosystem. It’s a group of family & friends that always support me, uplift me, check on me, pray for me etc. I don’t know where I’d be without them.
