Q. Tell us a little more about your journey as an entrepreneur – how did you get started?
Ava: I always knew that I never wanted to work a typical 9-5 office job. So I started learning from online entrepreneurs that were living the life I wanted to live. I knew that if I wanted to live a life no one else around me had accomplished, I had to learn from the people who are actually living that dream life. I started posting on TikTok in December of 2020 and it only went up from there. Within the first month, I hit 50,000+ followers and I knew it could turn into something big.
I stayed consistent and in July I started Mistruzzi Media, my TikTok marketing agency where I help business owners expand their business onto TikTok.
I have been expanding Mistruzzi Media ever since and I love working on the business and delivering great results for my clients. Early this year in January 2022, I launched A New You, my 4 weeks long life-changing mindset coaching experience. I have loved every second of it so far. I want to make a big impact on the world and leave a positive impact on as many lives as I can. That is why I became an entrepreneur.
Q. What entrepreneurial tricks have you discovered to keep you focused and productive in your day-to-day busy schedule?
Ava: I like to wake up early every day, around 5-7 am so I can get 1-2 deep hours of work in before I start my day. Getting the important things done early in the morning is so crucial because you never know what interruptions you are going to face later on in the day.
Another huge productivity tip is planning. You HAVE to plan your days and write to-do lists. If it’s not on the calendar, it won’t get done. If it doesn’t get done, it’s stopping you from living the life you were meant to live. Another big focus tip I’ve learned is to leave my phone in a different room when I’m getting deep work done so I am not tempted to check any social media apps.
All of these tips and tricks help me stay a lot more focused and productive with my busy day-to-day schedule.
Q. How do you stay organized with such a busy schedule? What are some time management strategies, SOPS (standard operating procedures), hires, or hacks that have helped you dramatically in business?
Ava: I stay organized by planning all of the days and writing down exactly what I am doing to be doing each and every hour of my day. I use Notion to plan everything: my daily goals, my weekly goals, monthly goals, quarterly goals, yearly goals, everything. You need to plan in order to stay organized. One thing my mentor, Abraham Casallas taught me that has helped me immensely with the organization: “Less is more”.
Creating a less cluttered workspace and organizing all of my communications and tasks into one big space, makes things a lot more organized. Another huge thing I’ve learned from my other business mentor, Lewis Schenk, is to outsource simple, time-consuming tasks in order to free up your time.
Q. What is the most memorable thing you’ve done since you started your business?
Ava: If I had a magic stick, the three things I would change in the world would be eliminating mental health issues. Including more personal development classes in the school system such as how to have healthy relationships, how to manifest, how to find your Ikigai and the power of your thoughts and mind.
I would also change inequalities and give the less fortunate a better chance at a good life by providing them with basic needs like food, water, and education.
Q. If you were to write a book about yourself, what would you name it?
Ava: If I were to write a book about myself, I would name it “A New You”. I believe that you should constantly be trying to improve yourself and grow as a person. You should never be staying stagnant. Growth brings you happiness and inspiration. Growth is the key to a fulfilling life.
Q. What motivates you?
Ava: Living my dream life is what motivates me most. My dream life is to own multiple online businesses that provide a TON of value for millions of people.
I want to live in Miami Florida and be my own boss. It excites me to help as many people as I can tap into their full potential and being able to do that is what motivates me most.
Q. What is one of the best or most worthwhile investments you’ve ever made?
Ava: The most worthwhile investment I’ve ever made was getting a mentor. You have to learn from people who have done what you want to do. By getting a mentor, they show you things about yourself that you can’t even see. They teach you the tools and tricks to get you from where you are now, to where you want to be.
Without my mentor, A New You wouldn’t have manifested and I would not be the person I am today. Always invest in a mentor because you’re investing in yourself, and the best investment you can make is in yourself.
Q. What key activities would you recommend entrepreneurs invest their time in?
Ava: Key activities that I recommend entrepreneurs to invest their time into are reading one book a week, doing at least 1 hour of focused work per day, growing a personal brand on TikTok, meditation, exercise, and focused reflecting on your business for 10 minutes every day.
Q. What is your ‘one-sentence’ piece of advice you’d like to give to someone who wants to become an entrepreneur, coach, or business owner?
Ava: Always go with the decision that scares you the most because that is what’s going to help you grow the most.
