Resilience, tenacity, and determination are the hallmarks of successful entrepreneurs, and Christianna Hurt is one of them. Her journey as a successful e-commerce entrepreneur and influencer was rocked with so many challenges.
She was fired from multiple jobs. Hurt found herself in a precarious situation, which forced her to turn to affiliate marketing, which introduced her to the world of e-commerce, leading her to start the e-commerce academy WealthyCollegeKid, according to Bauce.
Hurt told the platform that she created WealthyCollegeKid because there was no one in the industry who looked like her or similar to her. What is more, she also felt that people were not trying to help others pay bills.
