She loves sharing and guiding people to manifest and create their ideas. Jenny is also a growing influencer, especially on TikTok so, feel free to check her out!Control What You Can, But Equally Meet SurrenderingJenny Chang says that every entrepreneur and creator has this syndrome of wanting everything to be perfect. People want everything to be perfect to the point that they eventually don’t even start because they are stuck in the shadow of their plans instead of getting their product out there or getting connections, etc. She says that creators should change their perspective and quotes that “It’s not I wanna start this business, it’s the world that needs this business.” To intentionally create an experience that we want, Jenny says we should build the bridge between control and surrender and points out that, “Control what you can but equally meet surrendering,” which is trusting the process and not controlling something so tight that you lose grip.To Be An Influencer, Be Open-MindedJenny knows that her advice would not be for everyone, but that is okay. She says that anyone can be an influencer, but if you have the right tools and have something to say and quotes, ”Don’t look at your phone as something that you see yourself in, look at your phone as a microphone.” Additionally, she pointed out that once you’re in the world of influencers, you will not just be influencing only one thing because it will be a short run if you do. To go the distance, Jenny says that being an influencer, you have to be open-minded because as a human, you will evolve and have different interests over time.About Jenny Chang:Jenny Chang is an event planner who managed to grow with zero experience when she started at the age of 19.
