6 quick questions with Claire Xue, Founder of Moodelier (part 2) · Imagine If with Doone Roisin | Health, Wealth & Wisdom for Women (formerly Female Startup Club Podcast)

• 0:00
  Welcome back. Here are the six quick questions. So question number one is, what's your why? Why are you doing this every single day? Because I'm so passionate about what I'm doing. That's why. And that's
• 0:23
  And it's my first company, obviously, I got really personally really attached and that's good and also bad. But just I'm really passionate about and I really believe in what I'm doing. Amazing. Question number two is what has been your favorite marketing moment so far?
• 0:45
  I think when I tried to launch the Correspondo, that was my favorite marketing moment and it really worked and I got really great feedback. Love that for you. Question number three is what is your go-to business resource when it comes to a book or a newsletter or a podcast? Yeah.
• 1:08
  I don't have one book. I really enjoyed reading a couple years ago, Building a Brand Story. That's a really good book for building a brand and it really helps you with messaging. That's a really good resource for me.
• 1:26
  And today I feel like there are just so many resources out there. Honestly, I feel like a TikTok is really good one. That's where I discovered your TikTok. I discovered you're sharing all these like a grant and like all these resources. So I don't really have a go-to one. I feel like a lot of us these days don't have just one hub, one place. We're kind of jumping around.
• 1:50
  Yeah, so I don't know if that's a good answer, but I do like TikTok. It's a great answer. I love TikTok too. Yeah, and I also just bookmark it. If I find out something really interesting, I don't have time to fully digest or dig into that resources they're provided. I just bookmark it. And later on, I go back too.
• 2:11
  100% me too. I do the same. Question number four is how do you win the day? What are your AM or PM rituals and habits that keep you feeling happy and successful?
• 2:22
  Oh, in the morning. I don't know if this is a good habit. I always have a coffee in the morning and I have a little Pomeranian and five minutes. Oh my God, your dog is so cute. I have to tell you, I forgot to tell you already. I have a little dog too. And Hazelnut is like, warms my heart. I love her. She's so cute. What is your dog's name? My dog is, she's a little Chihuahua and she is called Sweetie.
• 2:51
  Sweetie. What a sweetie pie. Yeah. Yeah. So I feel like you probably feel the same. Like whenever you come back to home or waking up in the morning, they just jumps on you and then gritting you and then licking you. That's just like a good five minutes for me. And I needed that every morning to wake up. Yeah.
• 3:12
  Going to sleep is not good. Right now it's just TikTok. I don't recommend to go to sleep with TikTok, but that's something I needed to change. Yeah, but that's kind of my simple routines. One thing I wish I develop a workout in the morning routine that I currently do not have, and that's just what it is.
• 3:36
  That's just what it is. Hey, I mean, one step at a time. You've got the dog kisses. That's the best ever. That's all you need. It's, again, also my, like, favorite part of the day is, like, the mornings and giving her little snuggles and stuff. She's so cute. Question number five is what's been your biggest money mistake and how much did it cost you?
• 3:59
  Money mistake. I think maybe launching product that is not ready for your audience. That was my mistake. Cost me maybe, I would say, 10 grand. What did you launch? I think I launched some digital product that was not really, my audience not really ready. And I think in my head, this is really good.
• 4:29
  idea I think but I didn't really test it out I didn't really like do more researching before and I just like kind of launched it so I feel like that's something they were not ready for probably what's my biggest mistake but even that I feel like it's okay because like the digital product I can still utilize their photos so I can still utilize those photos
• 4:56
  Yeah, so it is a mistake, but it's a good mistake to have. Yeah, absolutely. Learning comes from those mistakes. And question number six, last question. What is just a crazy story, good or bad, that you can share from this journey of building a business? I think maybe it's not when I was building the company. It's before why I...
• 5:24
  motivated me to building the company. Obviously, I said it because I was passionate about my product and I think it's a great idea. But really before that makes me really want it not working for anybody anymore for the next couple of years was my previous job really made me realize I can do this. And I feel like if I'm going to busting my ass off,
• 5:54
  for somebody else, I may try that for my own company. Yeah, so that's kind of really big like moment of waking up moment for me to really wanna have the idea of having my own company. 100%, so true, so true.
