Guest Interview: Sonja Rasula - How Risking Her Entire 401K Retirement Savings Paid Off and What That Journey Looked Like
She Did It Anyway
03/08/23 • 56 min
Oh, this is a good one! I got the pleasure to sit with Sonja Rasula and talk about how she took out her 401k retirement to create a business that didn’t make sense to almost all of the people around her! Sonja shares her unfiltered, bold, and hilarious stories, advice, and tough love on this episode in hopes of inspiring you to say EFF IT; I’m going to do it anyway!
We discussed:
- What sparked The Unique Markets
- The truth about entrepreneurship and what people think
- How The Unique Assembly will help millions of women in building and growing their businesses without all the noise
- How to get through the tough days
- Community & so much more!
About Sonja Rasula:
In 2008 Sonja Rasula self-funded Unique Markets by risking her entire 401k retirement savings and never looked back. Since then, she’s become one of just 2% of women-owned businesses in the US to hit $1 million a year, is proud to be the only AAPI-owned national market owner in the country, and has been credited for fueling and leading the 'shop small' revolution for over 13 years. Her large-scale, modern, pop-up markets showcase hundreds of small businesses and emerging designers, attract celebs to families to TikTok influencers, and have taken place in over ten cities around the US.
Sonja was named '1 of 30 Women Entrepreneurs Changing the World' by fashion mogul Eileen Fisher, and Los Angeles Magazine awarded her one of the coveted ‘LA's Most Inspiring Women’ awards.
RECAP OF HOW SHE DID IT ANYWAY
“I had ZERO event or production experience before starting the markets. I had NO financing or investors (I risked and took out my entire 401k, $50k to start the biz). I'm a woman and a woman-of-color. Because I had moved back to LA just a couple years before, I had NO COMMUNITY, no mentors, no large group of friends/peers to pull from and get help from. AND to top it off I have a disability, a disease called narcolepsy. If I can do it, ANYONE CAN! :)” - Sonja
Rapid fire questions:
- What is one truth that you have recently come to terms with?
- What has been the most exciting improvement you've seen in yourself recently?
- What has the past 15 years of business taught you about yourself — good and bad?
- Which one of your mistakes taught you the most?

We’re used to thinking, “I’m scared to fail,” but have you ever considered you may be equally as scared to succeed?
The truth is, success comes with responsibilities and many of us are scared of what that could look like.

• Recognize and accept the fear of success as a natural emotion.
2. Identify the root cause:
• Discover the underlying beliefs or experiences driving the fear.
3. Set realistic goals:
• Break down big goals into smaller, achievable steps.
4. Surround yourself with positive influences:
• Build a network of supportive individuals who encourage your success.
5. Visualize success:
• Regularly envision yourself achieving your goals and enjoying the results.
Strategies for Overcoming Fear of Failure
1. Reframe failure as a learning opportunity:
• Understand that failure is a necessary part of growth.
2. Develop a growth mindset:
• Focus on continuous improvement and learning rather than fixed abilities.
3. Practice self-compassion:
• Treat yourself with kindness and understanding when faced with setbacks.

What a lot of people don’t realize is that “healing is a journey, not a destination you arrive at.” It takes time and doesn’t happen all at once. I have learned so much about myself when it comes to reflecting on past traumas and how to heal from them in the best way I can.
The way we cope and deal with different trauma can totally change how we go through the only life we are gifted. So I wanted to share what support, language and self care that has helped me heal and honestly made me experience life more fully. Tune into today’s episode to hear about...
• 2:26 – Defining trauma
• 5:46 – 6 things I stopped doing when it came to my healing journey
• 15:23 – Self talk that doesn’t hold you back
I hope this episode inspires you to make changes in how you go about healing, especially if this is something you’ve never sat down to think about before. Ask for help and be kind to yourself through the process! You don’t deserve to be in pain from your past, you deserve to heal!
See you back here soon! XO

Today’s episode is all about how to overcome social anxiety and imposter syndrome when you are networking. I know I’m not the only one that goes to an event but then finds a corner and stays there the whole time I don’t have to speak to anyone! I challenged myself to not do that anymore and I share the things that helped me along the way.
Highlights on social anxiety:
- Preparation: Familiarize yourself with the event, attendees, or topics of conversation beforehand. This can give you a sense of control and reduce anxiety.
- Visualization: Visualize yourself successfully navigating the event. This can help build confidence and reduce feelings of anxiety.
- Mindfulness exercises: Techniques like deep breathing or meditation can help you stay present and focused, reducing feelings of anxiety.
- Grounding techniques: Find a way to feel connected to the here and now. This might be focusing on the feel of your feet on the ground, or the taste of the drink in your hand.
Highlights on Imposter syndrome:
- Focus on Skills and Achievements: Remind yourself of your skills, qualifications, and past achievements. They validate that you're competent and deserving. “I belong here”
- Reframe Failure: Instead of viewing failure as a reflection of your abilities, view it as an opportunity for learning and growth.
- Mentorship: Hearing that others have been in your shoes can normalize your feelings.
- Positive Affirmations: Practice positive self-talk and affirmations. Replacing negative thoughts with positive ones can boost your self-esteem and reduce feelings of being a fraud.
Remember, confidence comes with practice. So, start small and give yourself credit for every step you take. We're all learning and growing, and every challenge we face is a chance for us to shine even brighter.

This process is simpler than you think. Hone your passion, find your people, and own your space. Your dream life is right in front of you. Here’s my challenge for you this week – find a day and a time in your week, block it off and focus on one task that is propelling you toward your dreams.
