I cried with you... that line "If I mess up, who was gonna help my family" shook me for real. The pressure of being the eldest just hit hard. Even though there are 4 of us, I can't lean on anyone. Everyone has their problems, and it's tough for me to open up to any of them. But thank you, Tammy. I felt that I wasn't alone in my problems and was able to let out some steam. Much love <3

your point about "not having to be the best" really resonated with me because I recently came to this realization too!
I see people on Instagram all the time who are just so much more naturally artistic, who have more training, who are seasoned professionals, etc. And it discouraged me for years because I wasn't at their level despite drawing pretty much all my life and sometimes being older than these talented people!
One day I sat down and had this realization though: I'm good enough at art that I can draw pretty much anything that makes me happy. Anything I want. And for now, that's good enough. If the time comes that I can ever afford to go to art school then I'll take it, but for now, I study on my own schedule, improve at my own pace, and rest happy knowing that my childhood self would be really happy with what she can do now~

I started my business in 2023 and have a year under my belt. 200+ sales with minimal advertising and no social media. Sometimes I get down on myself bc I can only work so much and also have to be available to help my kids in homeschool. I'm at the Sapling stage and I'm proud of it. I wonder what will happen this year when I create a Shopify and steer my sales funnel directly at it via Instagram and Pinterest. I struggle with balancing "me" time, "family" time and videogaming for relaxation and my burgeoning watercoloring hobby. Discipline, focus, balance, and Sleep. I'm adding in daily walks now for the endorphins. Loved your video. I heard "you", so thanks for sharing. It resonated w me. ❤❤

This is so true, I started making jewelry but I was so scared, literally cried when I got a first order and then I didn’t have orders but a complete stranger gave me the motivation to keep going and now it’s my income, i do what i love its amazing, some stress of course but support really helps

I reallly resonate with the thought that you "don't see self-employment as a risk -- people go through life working hard 9-5, being unhappy, and in the end they're laid off anyway". When you have the knowing that you have the skills to sustain yourself, it's a superpower. You don't depend on some X employer, it's just one of many options. 💪

Thank you for sharing. This is truly inspirational.
Things I am learning from this video:
- Take calculated risks (develops courage)
- I may not be the best in something, but I still can be valuable in that. (develops confidence)
- Be excited about what makes you anxious. (develops mindset)
- Set boundaries, improve yourself, forgive yourself, correct yourself. (develops discipline and self-love)
- Starting a small business is like planting a tree, it requires patience, hard work, and persistence on a daily basis.

I never thought I’d start my own business, but something has finally clicked within me during the last few weeks. People like you and many others (even my parents who are business owners themselves) have shown me that life can be different. I’ve realized that I will not have the stamina to work jobs I don’t like, with people I don’t like, for money that isn’t even that great just so that way I can potentially retire comfortably. I detest the whole idea and it feels like a trap into a miserable existence.
Now I’m standing on the edge about to make a decision I never thought I’d make and I’m itching with excitement. I’m finally betting on myself instead of waiting for someone else to do that.

I work for a corporate company currently and I hate it, I feel stuck to start my own craft business, I can make art and design art, still try to find my way to get there…that’s why I come here to see how you do it, you are doing great! Now I still think of what to make for sell and get it started. So happy for your achievement.

Your analogy at the end of starting something something being like planting a tree. Thats how I feel about my YouTube channel. This isn’t a season of life where I can personally make time to upload weekly, but it’s something that does energize me, I enjoy getting better at, and feel like I’m adding something to the world. And who knows one day it could be fruitful financially. Thank you for sharing your experience!
