For most people, a time will come when they\u2019re expected to choose between employment and entrepreneurship. While the majority of young adults who find themselves in that situation will go the employment route, some few outliers will opt for entrepreneurship and wealth creation. Entrepreneurship will always be the more difficult and torrid path to take, but this fact will not be enough to deter those who are passionate and ambitious. Those were the factors that pushed <\/span>The Cummins Cowgirl<\/span><\/a> to deviate from her career as a mechanic and become a content creator, leveraging on her status as a social media sensation with a large following.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Chloe Yonker (popularly known on social media as The Cummins Cowgirl) is a heavy duty diesel mechanic turned content creator and entrepreneur. Chloe has over 350,000 followers and counting on her Instagram and over 3.2 million likes on TikTok, where she posts car content, wrenching videos, and her adventures. Raised in Michigan, she moved to Texas as fast as she could and is a graduate of West Texas A&M University.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When asked what separates her services from her competition, she said, \u201cPersonally,\u00a0 I\u00a0 don\u02bct\u00a0 think\u00a0 that\u00a0 it\u02bcs\u00a0 about\u00a0 being\u00a0 competitive\u00a0 with\u00a0 what\u00a0 I\u00a0 do\u00a0 because\u00a0 at\u00a0 the\u00a0 end\u00a0 of\u00a0 the day,\u00a0 I\u02bcm\u00a0 friends\u00a0 with\u00a0 of\u00a0 lot\u00a0 of\u00a0 the\u00a0 people\u00a0 I\u00a0 work\u00a0 with\u00a0 or\u00a0 alongside,\u00a0 and\u00a0 it\u02bcs\u00a0 awesome\u00a0 that\u00a0 we\u00a0 can help\u00a0 one\u00a0 another\u00a0 out\u00a0 without\u00a0 being\u00a0 jealous or malicious\u00a0 towards\u00a0 one\u00a0 another.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

She considers her brand special because even though it came from nothing and was basically born out of her desire to pay bills, at the level where she is now, she considers her moves a success because she has successfully built a business that can support her and her needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Noting that she doesn\u2019t necessarily have a target audience per se, she says, \u201cI want to be a positive influence on everyone, but I especially want to reach women and the younger generations to show them that you can be a female in a male dominated industry and succeed as well as showing young ones that being hands on and working on things is worthwhile and an amazing trade\/skill to have.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Though The Cummins Cowgirl is not quite where she wants to be, she believes that with hard work, no height is impossible to reach. She believes everyone can find a niche in something they are passionate about and find ways to monetize it. \u201cFor\u00a0 me,\u00a0 it\u02bcs\u00a0 been through\u00a0 social\u00a0 media.\u00a0 I\u00a0 market\u00a0 everything there\u00a0 and\u00a0 now\u00a0 that\u00a0 I\u00a0 have\u00a0 a\u00a0 larger\u00a0 following,\u00a0 I\u02bcm\u00a0 able to\u00a0 leverage\u00a0 that\u00a0 with\u00a0 companies\u00a0 to\u00a0 advertise\u00a0 for\u00a0 them\u00a0 as\u00a0 well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

On her plans for the future, she said, \u201cI\u00a0 would\u00a0 love\u00a0 to\u00a0 be\u00a0 able\u00a0 to\u00a0 have\u00a0 a\u00a0 full-time\u00a0 automotive\u00a0 customization\u00a0 shop\u00a0 open\u00a0 to\u00a0 the\u00a0 public! Right\u00a0 now,\u00a0 I’ve\u00a0 only\u00a0 been\u00a0 working\u00a0 on\u00a0 my\u00a0 own\u00a0 vehicles\u00a0 and\u00a0 close\u00a0 friends,\u00a0 but\u00a0 I’d\u00a0 love\u00a0 to\u00a0 make people\u02bcs\u00a0 dreams\u00a0 a\u00a0 reality\u00a0 one\u00a0 day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
