In the heart of Los Angeles, Jackie Kossoff is leading a life full of freedom, adventure, and purpose. She helps business owners amplify their brand messages and connect with their audiences in meaningful ways. But what sets Jackie apart isn’t just her expertise in marketing—it’s her journey to entrepreneurship that has shaped her values, her business, and her approach to life.
A Journey to Entrepreneurship: From 9-5 to Digital Nomad
Jackie’s journey to entrepreneurship started in a way many can relate to—working a 9-5 job. She stumbled upon a blog post about digital nomads, which introduced her to a Facebook group of women who were leaving their corporate jobs to travel and work remotely. Inspired by these like-minded women, Jackie realized that she too could work for herself, travel part-time, and build a business on her terms.
With the support of an online course, Jackie took the plunge. Within a few months, she left her 9-5 job and began building her own business. Today, she works from anywhere and helps other entrepreneurs grow their brands while enjoying the freedom of working remotely.
Helping Clients Amplify Their Brand
What Jackie loves most about her work is helping her clients amplify their brand message. She’s passionate about assisting them in connecting with their audiences and providing value in authentic ways. Through her coaching and strategy work, Jackie empowers her clients to clarify their messaging, build strong brands, and reach more people who resonate with their message.
A Lesson in Taking Action
Looking back on her entrepreneurial journey, Jackie would tell herself to implement her marketing strategy sooner and not let fear hold her back. The advice to “feel the fear and do it anyway” has been pivotal in her career and personal growth. Taking action, even when it feels daunting, has been key to her success.
The Importance of Community
For Jackie, community is about connection, sharing knowledge, and supporting each other. It’s about creating something bigger than oneself and helping others succeed along the way. One of the most meaningful relationships Jackie has cultivated came through a networking group. A leader in the group encouraged Jackie to reach out to a new member in the same industry. This simple act led to accountability buddies, and they’ve been meeting monthly for over three years. Their relationship has now evolved to the point where they’ll be meeting in person in London and later this year at her new home on the English coast. Jackie’s story exemplifies how powerful community is, both in business and in life.
