  1. Yeah. And I think I'm lucky that I came up in an age of making content where it was so authentic, there was no business behind it. And it was about connection. So I had that training. That was my training gown for being a creator. Just do what you do. Don't think about it. Just do what you like. So I feel lucky that I've got that as like my basis of creating and being an influencer.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  2. So, I think the first thing is leaning into your authentic tone. Like what is the thing that makes you or your brand yours and not running away from that and not trying to be something else? It's like learning to not be scared of yourself. This is what we are. This is who I am. This is it, right? And then consistently putting that out all the time so that people connect with that. They either connect or they don't, but you only want those who are going to connect with that true version of yourself or your brand. And then it's, of course, you know, you're going to jump on trends or things that are viral so you can get traction. That's what I did. I would jump onto viral trends, but do it in my own tone of voice. And, you know, it's the consistency. Continue.

  3. I want to be low key. Like, I want to make my videos. And it sounds crazy and no one really watch them. I like the idea of when things are small, because I've been very viral. So I was really viral. I was getting like 8 million views of video, 13 million views of video. And at the time, I was like, oh, this is quite, this is a lot for me to handle because people are messaging me all the time. Like, Patricia. And I'd be like, hey guys, hey. So it's not that I want to slink into the background. I think I just need to be more comfortable with. Recognizing that, you know, I'm here, I'm doing it, but still keep that normality. That's really important for me.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  4. Yeah, no, never. You're right. You're right And I'm battling with the fact that there's clearly a reason why I'm here or why I've got this audience and why people connect with me, right? And actually maybe it's a good thing that I have no huge desires to be famous. So I'm going to have to work out how to deal with that attention in a way better and not just think about slinking into the background.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  5. Oh yeah, wow, you just, yeah, you just tore me off there in a good way. No, no, no. I know I love what you just said that you can use the fame for value.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  6. Famous as in not that I don't enjoy, but I think there are people who really want to be famous, right? And there are people who just want to do what they do and do it well and like not just have their own normal friends do that their own normal things and get on with life. Like I get on the train every day and I go in the underground and some people are like, you get on the underground. I'm like, yes, it's quicker, but I don't want to ever be in a place where I can't get on the underground.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  7. So I actually realized though I'm in the public eye to an extent, like I don't really like being famous, I don't really want to be a personality. I don't want things to be about me. And I don't know why I put myself out there if I didn't want that. But I think fundamentally I'm happy to slink into the background. I think there were other people who want it more. Like, I don't enjoy being.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  8. I think it's being open to more challenges that are different to what I'm used to. I've been making content and creating by myself for myself, for brands for so long, for like 10 years. And although I think I'm a brave person, I feel like I've got very comfortable. So I want to set myself out on challenges that are completely outside of my comfort zone, maybe do something that, you know, is unexpected for me, unexpected for me as a creator. Influencers don't do this or influences of your size don't do this or this kind of thing. And I really want to work on like creating more products and really building out a brand and not necessarily being the face of everything.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  9. There was some So there was some of, so I did a meet in Greece. And then they messaged me. He's like, ha ha, I was at your meet and greet. You didn't even know who I was. You didn't see me. You looked so terrible in person. Next time I'm going to do something, right? So I remember feeling so anxious and I've vlogged it and I remember like looking through the footage and I was like, who could it be? Who could it be? It was like racking my brain. It's like, which one is it? Which one is it? And I think it made me a bit paranoid, like shorter season, but I was never scared. because I'm from South London. I'm not scared. Come to my house. We'll see. I even prefer that. Like, come to my house. And let's see.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  10. Yeah, it reduced, I'd say. And then it inevitably disappeared. I kind of forgot about it, to be honest, after a while. But I learned how to listen to their speech pattern. So even if they would create new profiles, I always knew it was them based on the things that they would say and how they would say it. So they'll try to hide that it was them. But it's like it's clearly you and there's even like online forums where people like moan about online creators and she would like she or he would go into the forums and be like talking about me. So I would stalk my stalker. So I knew it was them. And then other people in the forum would be like, you're Patricia Stalker, that they would know it was the stalker. So, yeah.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  11. They would be in the thread or they'd be watching everything I was doing. So I'd have to tell people, I'm really sorry. I've got a stalker. Like if you got that message, it's from a stalker. They'd like message brands sometimes. It was just really weird behavior.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  12. They're making hundreds of accounts. They're messaging other people. So, what would happen is that when I would message someone online,

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  13. You can buy my best story. And like the platforms love it when you put yourself out there a lot, but inevitably it does take a toll on you as a person. And I just said we're going to stop this. I don't want to be that person. I actually care more about my real life than putting Version of my real life online

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  14. I think that was one of my triggers, but I think inevitably I was like put in yourself out there too much from a personal perspective wasn't something I wanted to do. Like I used to show our wedding, I showed me giving birth. I've put a lot out there, okay?

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  15. You're worried, like when you log in, am I going to see their messages? What are they going to do today? What are they going to say today? Are they going to dox me? So they found out my parents' name and address and say, your mom's this name. She lives here. So like those things, and obviously it was like psychological warfare. But it was, yeah, it was more psychological. But like when I was thinking about it, I kept thinking it's because I put myself out there too much. This is why they're targeting me. And I think inevitably it made me want to retreat in certain aspects.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  16. I found it was actually his account stalking me. Yeah, no, I did. I had a stalker for like three years. And it was someone who had just messaged me on all my platforms constantly, send emails, message family members, really weird. And nowadays I can't even remember like what their issue was. Don't think they even had one. They were just obsessive me and obsessive like my relationship to an extent because I used to put vlogs out and I used to have like content with me and my husband and I stopped like actually it sounds so bad but I think it was enough to tell me I'm not going to put myself out there in that way. I Think it takes an emotional toll having a stalker.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  17. Yeah. So obviously Michael's like an Englishman from Manchester, right We are very culturally, very different. And I think, but it's so interesting. I think if I wasn't with Michael, I'd be very single and very lonely. Like I've accepted that. I don't know if anybody else would like actually handle me if that makes any sense. I think it takes a certain kind of person to be with an entrepreneurial person, let alone an entrepreneurial Nigerian woman. Like that's so many different layers there. And yeah, he's like a magician to be able to handle that. And we're like polar opposite people. I'm very... Like emotional, and like, let's do this now. And he's very logical, steady, stable. And I think that actually is the balance that I've needed. And I think we're meant to be together to I don't know

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  18. How do you do that also when you live and work in the house, right? The same house, because that's something that we deal with. I think it's, again, about setting these boundaries, like physically. So Michael won't really work in the house, even if he's working on my projects and I try and work from an office as well as much as possible. And then it's the case of like. Switching off It's hard, man. It's really hard. I think as a creator, as a social media creator, like you're always on. I haven't mastered that yet. But we have kids. So the good thing about kids is that they force us to give them love and give them attention. So we have to switch off and sort the kids out and give them a bath and give them dinner. So we'll always kind of, I don't know, switch brains because of that.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  19. Yeah, because I think when you're in boss mode, You can be quite direct. Like, I'm very like, this doesn't look good. I don't like this. Can we change this? How do we do this better? This is wrong, right? And I think there are, when it's with your partner, they're going to take that personally over, say, someone else who is, you know, You should know this. Come on, but he doesn't always know, and he can't read my mind, and he's a man. So there's differences there. So that's when it gets a bit difficult when we're together.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  20. He'll work in an office, and I'll work somewhere else. Because if you work in the same room at the same time, it's not pretty.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  21. So that's a really good question. So working with Mike, you know what? Michael's been like with me for every step of my journey as a creator. And he's always worked a full-time job. And then he inevitably went even to more of a freelance role so that I could use him when I needed him. So he will work as a contractor. And I'm like, Mike, I need your help. Quit your job come and help me. And so throughout my entire journey, he's been there to do that. However, working with your significant other can be real difficult. And there are times where we're like, let's not do this. Go back to your job, make something happen, go back contracting. And then when we're like, oh, we're cool. Come back again. So it's what's important for us is actually to establish how we communicate with each other and boundaries. Like when we're working together, we actually don't work in the same environment.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  22. So actually, the Excel document I made, but I do have my husband who's been really supportive and like helping me build that out. And then I've recruited a COO to like help me think about scaling this out. But I've had other team members here and their freelancers here and there, but I know inevitably that scaling is something I'm going to have to be willing to do. And that's hard for myself. To do, yeah.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  23. I would say it's something I'm really excited about because it's so valuable. So I'm very excited about it. And I think it's a new challenge. So as an influencer, like I work for brands, I make amazing content for them. I get nice things. But now this is my chance to kind of be a brand and create value more so. So it's really like a new challenge for me that I'm excited to kind of get into.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  24. This is a lot. So, where's it going? So, we really want to build out like a web platform which has content, but also tools that people can use. So one of the things that I created was a simple budgeting like template and like literally in like two weeks we had like 20,000 people download an Excel spreadsheet on how to manage their day-to-day income. So clearly there's more that we can do here. We then launched a planner as well that just sold out in like a day or two and then we're launching more of these. So in the long run, I'd like to provide more financial tools and resources that people could use to help them with managing their everyday finances. The dream is like an app, but that takes time to happen. But like we've got the designs and we're doing some testing now to really see how we can like build that out further.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  25. It's not beneficial. It's not beneficial to government. It's not beneficial to corporations. It's not beneficial to banks and lenders who actually want people to be inept in this area so they can make financial mistakes and then give them more money. That's the reality of it. Rich people aren't actually struggling financially. It's actually everyone else on the maybe lower end of the spectrum who don't have this information. But this information would transform their lives.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  26. You know what I mean? I wish, but that's not, it's not sexy It's not glamorous. It's not fun. Like, I have a video on pensions, like 401ks and whether or not you should be making a contribution to your sip, right? That is not, oh, this is glamorous. No one wants to hear that. But there are going to be a few who do take it and use it. I wish we could dress up. Like credit scores, like give it lipstick, give it a Lamborghini. But we haven't mastered that yet. Maybe I'll do that later. But they don't want people to know the truth. I don't think anybody wants people to really know the truth about finances.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  27. Exactly, and the tax man came knocking at my door, and I got fined, and I was like, nobody needs to do this. This is how you incorporate. This is how you get your pension sorted out. This is how you can buy a property for your business. And I was just literally doing all the stuff that I kind of learned from my accountant and from the financial mistakes that I've made, I really wanted to just say, here you go, here's this information, use this, make it be valuable to you to help you in your journey.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  28. Yeah, that's like my passion project turned like great potential business opportunity. And I think for me, that's like where I decided to start talking about these things. And we're talking about this now that people don't talk about money. Women don't talk about money on that platform. I am unapologetic. And that's why I shared about the making a million in a year or making a million over a lifetime and showing how I budget my salary and showing you how I bought a house in 10 minutes. I put that all on there because I feel like You know over there is where I'm going to talk about this stuff. So if you like it, it's there. If you don't like it, let's go put a makeup on my other channel. And it's been just insane to see how it's grown and how much there's a huge demand for this type of content within this demographic.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  29. Is a bit cringe for me, and it's not part of my strategy. Do you want to remain authentic, but I understand that showing too much of my success doesn't always sit well with people. And I'm happy to like. Remove that aspect if that makes people more comfortable. And I think that's because I'm a woman. Like I want people to feel comfortable.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  30. Yeah, I think it's all about being strategic, though, right? So, like, if eventually showing lots of glamorous stuff is going to impact growth, it would be silly for me to keep doing it, right? And again, that's not my personal strategy anyway, I'll be honest with you. I don't want to be like, look at my new Lamborghini, look at my new house. That's not who I am as a person

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  31. It really does. So I've moved away from like putting out my numbers. I'm not going to use using my numbers as a strategy or showing my things too much as a strategy. I also bought a couple of properties. And I really want to share with people about financial empowerment and properties and making money. But like I can see that almost like a sour taste sometimes in people's mouths. So I show a bit less of it. I'm not going to show you the new house that I bought or something else. I'm not going to show it as much. And I've tried to make more relatable content. A lot of us have to be relatable and remain humble to still be considered a good influencer. Don't show what you have.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  32. But the comments were so kind of crazy. People were like, I can't believe you're sharing this. We're really excited. But also like you should be putting this out there. And what I actually did is there's no way I could actually share my actual numbers because I think people would judge me negatively and like fall over be like, what the hell? How is it possible? And like almost want to stop the bag, if that makes any sense. People don't like to see women doing too big numbers. You got to still be humble as a woman.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  33. Can't do it. Yeah. I have a video called How I Made A Million on YouTube, right? And firstly, it's got over almost a million views on it.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  34. Do you know what? Not so much. And I think also because I'm a black woman, people are so happy to see me do well because they feel like it's rare. And so I think I'm afforded a bit more luxury to be a bit more like aggressive about, you know, I'm pushing, I'm moving hard, whether you like it or not. That's the Nigerian me coming out. And culturally, I think I'm allowed to celebrate that a lot more because Brits, I don't think, like to celebrate people doing too well or being too much. So I can get away with it a little bit more. But I know like. There is a little Can be tension when I talk about my numbers too much, and I'll definitely get the messages. You shouldn't talk about how much you earn. It's a bit rude.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  35. Not women. There aren't a lot of brands that are run and owned by women. And I just think this is something to do with biology, sociology, the way in which kind of women interact with men is different to how we interact with each other. I wish it was different, but I've just noticed this a lot.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  36. I think women judge men by different standards. So what you'll see, oh, let's talk about this. You'll actually see in the world of beauty and women's fashion and industries that are predominantly consumed by women, men are always at the forefront. So the biggest influences in the beauty industry are five men. Men who wear makeup, right? That's true. So men who wear makeup are more popular than, or let's say three, men who wear makeup can be bigger and get to bigger stratospheres than any woman could. The fashion industry and fashion brands, all of them, the majority of them are owned by men and ran by men or creative directors are men.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  37. Because men and women are fundamentally different. So I'm presuming that your audience is probably, say, 60% to 70% male.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  38. On social media with a big Okay, yeah, yeah. I'm not surprised, but there's going to be different standards you're held by. So with the women, like ours, there's a lot of pressure around our appearance or if we're mothers, how we mother or what we're wearing. I mean, it's so random, but I'm sure there's definitely things that men are going to expect from you that they're like, can't believe you did this or something. It even relates to success.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  39. What if you have an alternative perspective you're not allowed to have an alternative perspective? If you ask of peace, whether or not it's in the Middle East specifically or on a certain matter, oh no way because the world wants to keep everything burning but like personally I'm like can this just chill like not that situation specifically but a lot of situations I'm like I just wish it wasn't happening

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  40. It's a lot. It's a lot. Bearing in mind that my forte is makeup and clothing and maybe financed, you know, to an extent, I feel There is pressure for influencers to speak up on every topic all the time. But we are not credible sources who know everything. We just don't. And I think it's really important for us to say we're ignorant on a matter and we're learning, but kind of speaking up on stuff that you know nothing about is very, very... And stup And also, what is really scary is that if you don't think the same way that everybody else thinks, You're in trouble

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  41. So, when people say influence, I think there's a little cringe when they say it. But I think this concept of being influential. Has always been around, but it's always been around with the hands of the upper echelon of people. Only certain people are picked by certain industries to be influential. But what I love is like now there's this democratization. People can choose who they want to be influenced by and how I got in my position is because people liked me. They decided that actually I want to hear what Patricia has to say. I want to see what she's buying. I want to see what she likes. So I think it's a really powerful tool. We've all been influenced. The question is, we want to choose who those influencers are.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  42. Oh, I'm doing it. I'm doing it, but I don't think I've had like one big thing yet. Does anyone have one big thing, though?

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  43. More domination What is mine? It's not just being popular on social media. That's not my complete definition of success, right? I think for me, it's like creating things that I want to create when I want to create them and monetizing them and bringing value. So if I say my overall thing, that's it. What that looks like, I don't know just yet.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  44. Slow and steady. Slow and steady. I was making content for seven years and then I got to a million subscribers. So I didn't have any of those really viral moments. And I saw lots of people kind of steamroll ahead of me, like go viral. They were part of these groups and these crews and, you know, there was a time that there was a thing called the brick pack. They were all there. And I was just like in the corner by myself plodding along. And then inevitably like my time came and it took again that. Seven years to one million, and then one more year to another million and a half. And I then had my own viral moments off the back of myself. But I never kind of took the step back to be like, oh, you've made it because I never feel like I've made it.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  45. So, mom, I left my job. They barely know what I do right now. They're like, I do this thing on the internet. They're like, oh, well done. It's fine.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  46. I didn't tell her. I didn't tell my mom. I didn't tell anybody what you've quit your big banking job. Oh, hell no. I could never do that.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  47. So, for me, my confidence came from an Excel spreadsheet. So I am not a risk taker. I'm more of a steady and stable person, but I did a bit of maths. I did a bit of a projection. I looked at what my long-term potential earnings and lifestyle would look like if I stayed in the banking industry. And then I looked at what my numbers were looking like, you know, if I stayed as a creator, where could I take it? And even at that time, I had no clue I could get to where I am today. But the numbers looked healthy enough. So I was like, okay, I'll take the leap. Even if I do it for two years, it could be okay. And I didn't just jump out. I kind of Took a toe dip in, and I quit my job, but then I took another job that was part time. So I could make content and have a job as well.

    2021-08-02 · The Diary of a CEO · Patricia Bright: How She Made Her Millions · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  48. No, no. The reason being is that I try to frame what I do as I've accepted that I have a huge desire to create stuff, right? That's it. So as long as I focus on this process's creation, this process is creation, I'll be fine. And that might mean say no to work and no to sponsorships for a season.
