I would like to share why I started Alva started when I was in Business School studying Digital Marketing.
I was feeling depressed from graduating from Business school and diving into the work force, experiencing the unknown of the city at the crossroad.
I remember this so vividly, at every Friday afternoon, when my Business Law class ended around 1:30, as everyone from class was leaving, the anxiety would begin.
It had gotten worse and worse as each week pass,
the feeling of not getting a reply from the resumes sent out...
the feeling that I might not do well in grades...
so I decided I'm sick of this.
I dont want to experience this again. What could I do?
I visited the college's student assistance and they referred me to a doctor.
She told me a few things, that eliminated my anxiety.
Firstly. What you think is not your reality, you just realize the thoughts. Next time ask yourself, is this thought real?
I had been sending out resumes, feeling like my grades are bad.
She asked me, how did I do in the past?
Well, I had amazing grades in the past.
Good, is this likely to happen again?
Yes, I pay attention in class, I work hard before and after class.
So having bad grades was not likely to happen, but just my imagination going wild on the worst case scenario.
Secondly. What can you do to reduce the possibility of the worse case scenario in happening?
For jobs, I could keep sending out resumes, or I could dive more into Alva.
Creating a platform to showcase my skills and knowledge.
WITHOUT waiting for someone else to approve it.
ALVA is Thomas Alva Edison's middle name.
The Motto is "Light To Your Story".
It was how I reclaimed control over my future.
I didn’t start ALVA because I had everything figured out.
I started it because I was tired of feeling small,
tired of waiting for permission,
tired of letting fear write my story.
ALVA is what happens when you stop waiting for opportunities —
and start building them yourself.
I believe business owners love their idea enough to spend time into developing it,
I can relate to this feeling.
I want to help your brand be seen by more people.
Those who need your product and service,
those who share your same struggles,
to find your community and to create your tribe.
ALVA brings light to your story.
