Meet Sacha Walton

I got familiar with the unfamiliar.

I am motivated by legacy. I recommit to that motivation every time I look into my daughter’s eyes.

My goal is to be the first millionaire in my immediate family. I worked a “good” job, for 20 years and one day without warning, I was laid off. 7,300 days gone in a single decision.

Though I had a side hustle and was in the midst of planning an exit strategy, becoming a full-time entrepreneur was a decision not by choice but force.

I went all in on myself and within the first six months, I’d successfully scaled the business to six figures. For two years, I was in full command of my life — and things looked great from the other side, until, a pandemic shut me down.

A six-foot requirement of personal social distance to increase our odds at life became an insurmountable distance for a business that thrived on closeness.
Contracts gone. Money stopped. Doors closed. It was another forced layoff.

Something happens to your confidence when you don’t know where your next check is coming from — when basic needs are threatened — you feel like you’re failing … at life.

Surviving is a primal. It is the gateway to anxiety, stress and in my case, functioning depression. Every step I took to survive felt like I was giving up.

When I finally decided to go back to a “good” job, I felt defeated.

The truth about the pandemic is it made me confront the lies I was telling myself. I was not failing. I was readjusting. I wasn’t surviving. I was living. I wasn’t leaving my dream behind. I was redefining it. The pandemic transformed me. I was in a 2-year cocoon, but emerged ready to take to flight.

There is more than one way to a dream, but there is only one way to achieve it – belief.
There is more than one way to be a brand, but for me, there was only one way to relaunch it – personally – as the face of it.

Within less than a year of relaunching my business, I am preparing to speak in Paris, France.

I am now a podcast host, author, event producer, business strategist, and speaker – who loves sharing my story with other entrepreneurs.

If I hadn’t said yes to the unfamiliar, I would have never met the force that is me.

Legacy reactivated.
