On today’s episode of the Entrepreneur Evolution Podcast, we are joined by Victoria Hajjar. Victoria Hajjar, founder of Ugli Ventures, specializes in assisting startups in scaling from 6 to 7 figures. She focuses on aiding female entrepreneurs in optimizing sales and marketing strategies, team building, and leadership development to establish sustainable and profitable 7-figure enterprises. Her clients have had million-dollar months, earned billion-dollar revenues in their businesses, and she has mentored women who have landed Forbes 40 under 40. Less than 2% of women have broken the million-dollar mark in the business and Victoria is on a mission to change that. An entrepreneur herself, Victoria knows what it is like to be the person wearing so many hats, with little to no support. She teaches the playbook she wishes she had as she began her marketing journey 15 years ago. Her work with female entrepreneurs sprouted in her desire to be surrounded by women who are equally as ambitious, and to create a sense of community knowing all too well that entrepreneurship can be lonely. A Google and Hubspot certified expert, Victoria runs the popular Podcast - “The Scalable Marketing Machine” and has been featured on CNN and in numerous webinars and forums. Based in Miami, Victoria has two young boys, is an avid CrossFitter, and loves spending her summers with her family in Spain.   To learn more, visit http://www.ugliventures.com/overwhelm   --   We would love to hear from you, and it would be awesome if you left us a 5-star review.
