My name is Carly Taylor and I’m from Cambridge UK.

I am what I like to call a ‘passionpreneur’ because I believe that we should all live

In our passion every day, why? Because we only get one life so make the most of it

I say!

I am the Co-founder of Social Diva Ltd & Social diva Marketing along with my business partner Sarah Bradden.

We help women to bring their business and passion online and really shine for who they

Are. We are also working on a project close to our hearts called “Divalife” which is based

Around personal development.

 My Story

I started this whole “online” game in 2007 after working for a very entrepreneurial

company called Play.com. I was top of my game there and loved the environment

but something was missing. I was shallow, egotistical and very materialistic. I drove a

nice car, went on beautiful holidays and bought my own house in my early twenties. Which

for a single Mum was a nice achievement….

Or so I thought…

I had split up with Brandon’s  father due to alcoholism and violence and went on a

journey alone, homeless twice to escape him. So when the job came along I worked

hard and made a great career for myself. The problem was, I got greedy and selfish.

Brandon was raised by his grandmother for most of his young childhood whilst I worked

my a**e off and we rarely spent any quality time together. At the same time I attracted

another ‘loser’ guy who got me in to £30k worth of debt and was also emotionally abusive.

One day after searching online I decided enough was enough. Surely there had to be more

to life than this? My relationship bored (and repulsed) me, my mortgage payments were

behind , I was in debt and I started to get complacent in my job. Not to mention the deteriorating

relationship with Brandon and my Grandmother telling me I was a useless parent who only

cared about myself.

I started looking for “work from home” opportunities from home and came across a site called

“Success University”. I was intrigued and spent the next week at work going through everything

In their back office after getting their 30 day free trial. It was here I met the love of my life Derren.

Later that year….

I had fallen in love, for real this time and I decided to take a leap of faith and leave my job to

figure out what I wanted to do with my life and spend more time being a Mum.  This left a bad

taste in everyone’s mouth and now I was accused of being selfish for having no money, house or

car!

I then entered a competition called “The Next Internet Millionaire” hosted by internet marketing

Legend Joel Comm and was flown to the USA to compete in the final 12. I learned from the best

Teachers in the industry and when I came back I was confident and had money on my mind!

But things went terribly wrong….

I had no money to live on, Derren had moved in with me and we were arguing about money and then Brandon became seriously ill with a brain tumour in 2008.

My life turned upside down, literally.

I went into a spiral of complete despair and depression and was lost in my own world

Of confusion and heart break.

Thankfully the tumour was benign (he has had 2 operations now, in 2 years) and he made

A full speedy recover. But as a Mum, I couldn’t shift the sadness inside of me. The fear that

Had swept through me and wouldn’t leave.

I couldn’t focus on “making money” and so instead decided to re-train as a Life Coach from

Home.  I loved the course and it helped me through my emotional trauma.

2011….

After going through a personal transformation I decided to use my Life Coaching skills

And combine them with my marketing skills to form Social Diva Ltd with Sarah. I believe

That we all have the potential to be who we ‘want’ to be and live the life we desire. I also

Know that we all deserve money and it’s not about ego – it’s about creating change in the

World through the power of money, to reach a wider audience.

Lots of love,

Carly x
