I am the founder of Inspire My Day and the creator of The 1% Academy. By my mid-30s, I had held two vice president positions abroad at the two largest Swedish companies by market capitalization. Now, I’ve created The 1% Academy to provide you with the mindset, steps and personalized mentorship to advance your career to the top 1% of an organization, so you can not only earn a higher income and make a bigger impact but also feel FULFILLED, REWARDED, and SATISFIED Given that this is a YouTube channel and anyone can claim anything, I'll share more about myself below so you can verify through a quick Google search. How I Got Here: Age 24: Joined Leo Burnett as an Account Executive. Age 25: Became Marketing Manager at Bentley Motors, working on 36 auto shows a year in China. I was rarely home. Age 26: Joined Volvo Group China as Senior Manager, covering two maternity roles while working 16-hour days, which led to my discovery by global HQ. Age 28: Promoted to Global Internal Communications Director in Belgium. Despite homesickness, I stayed after meeting my future husband. Age 32: Became External Communications Director while eight months pregnant. I commuted between Sweden and Belgium for four years after our HQ moved. Age 36: Promoted to VP at Volvo in Shanghai. COVID turned what was supposed to be a short separation from my family into a much longer, painful experience. Age 37: Became VP at Atlas Copco in Belgium, where my career and personal life finally aligned in the same country. Age 38: Retired from corporate life to focus on helping middle management break free from stagnation and achieve senior executive positions. Today: My mentorship program, The 1% Academy, has helped Directors and Managers from over 30 countries achieve senior executive positions. We continue to guide high performers in realizing both their impact and income goals. Through the program, our members have developed a new identity and an abundance mindset, now they see unlimited possibilities for themselves. What have we learned? 1. Getting the next-level job title isn’t just about the job title, and making more money isn’t just about the money—just as running a marathon isn’t only about exercising. It's about who you become and what you believe is possible for yourself. 2. Success is something you attract by becoming the right person, not something you chase. What you have right now is a reflection of the person you’ve become. If you change, everything will change for you. To have more, you have to become more and work harder on yourself than on your job. 3. You can spend all your time looking for opportunities and "networking," or you can spend your time working on yourself. When you become better, you’ll attract and capture whatever opportunities you want forever. 4. Hard times are simply moments when your fear outweighs your belief in yourself. When you push through those fears and recognize that each wrong step along your journey is actually the right step toward your goal, you’ll meet the higher version of yourself. 5. Your goals don’t make you special. It's your willingness to pay the price that does. Don't give up on the belief you have in yourself and what you're capable of. What if the peak of your income and impact isn't over but yet to come? Don't stagnate—you didn't work this hard to get here just to stay here Be Magnificent, Tiffany ◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️ SAY HI ON SOCIAL: LinkedIn:   / tiffany-cheng-82279823   Website: https://inspiremyday.org/ #TiffanyCheng #MiddleManagement #CareerAdvancement
