In this personal testimonial, Angelina Darrisaw shares her entrepreneurial mindset, describing how she wakes up each day to chase her dream. She recounts being taught early to pursue opportunities, developing a hustler spirit, and confronting doubts from others who questioned her qualifications. She emphasizes that while she may be labeled 'self‑made,' her success is built on relentless execution, early mornings, late nights, sacrifices, and the support of people who encouraged her to ignore negative opinions. The narrative underscores that entrepreneurship is about continuous effort and making choices that keep the dream alive.

Chapters

There is nothing like waking up every day to chase my dream. I was taught to chase my dreams early. Any opportunity or anything I wanted. I knew that it wasn't going to be handed to me. I inherited a hustler spirit. There were definitely those times where I was told I didn't deserve certain things or didn't meet the right qualifications. But then there were the people in my life who reminded me that when you chase your dreams, nothing anyone else has to say matters. Some might say that I'm self made. Essentially, that's what being an entrepreneur is about. But even if I'm doing it by myself, I didn't get here by myself. Being self made is endless execution. It's about waking up early, and sometimes it's about going to bed late. It's about sacrifices and making choices to make sure that no matter what your dream happens.
