Kayla

Out of all the clothing videos I've consume on youtube this is probably the most honest and rawest one I've seen. Made a subscriber out of me.
Raw like fish
I couldn't agree with you more. They always show the glitz and glam but not the struggle or journey it took to get there.Thank you!
ME TOO!
Thanks good to know I'm gonna add her as a be your follower
Damn without saying one word, all texts, raw video footages without fancy camera, but edit was flawless. As a dad wanting to start a clothing brand for my kids, this was beautiful!
You inspire me to not be afraid but just take action to find a solution or to keep growing. As we all know EVERY BUSINESS is a roller coaster ride.
Exactly the words which I was thinking. I'm not into clothing business but I've started from scratch and raw. Able to get few projects but not loosing hopes. Stay blessed, I'm at a nano stage as compare to you.
Girl, I am CRYING. From one small business owner to another, you are SUCH an inspiration!!! I do not own any clothing of yours yet, but I am planning to purchase something from your spooky launch. Keep up the amazing work, you never know who’s looking up to you.🤍✨
Before watching this video, I thought this comment seemed a little bit dramatic (only the crying part) but now I'm also about to cry and it's not dramatic 😩😩 she's such an inspiration and has come a long way.
She kept pushing even tho it didn't always end d way she wanted. Idk her but I'm proud of her❤❤ keep pushing girl, u got thissss💯💯❤❤
And thank you for sharing this, I'm rooting for you❤
I just completed the video and I wish you the best girl. You got this!!!
@@fatimah.ibrahim lmao same
Lmaoo I'm crying too
I'm thinking of starting my own clothing apparel, and man is this humbling. Even after studying economy, and budgeting, and think of strategies, it's still humbling to know the kind of work you need to put in to make this happen. The time it took for you to reach or goal baffles me I applaud you for your work and dedication!
Honestly, with the sub count you have and the average view count on your videos, you could easily lean more into the YT content creation side of things and supplement your income quite a bit with ad revenue, all while marketing your brand. Relying on just sales is scary - diversifying your income streams is the way to go. Loving the content - helps me get in the mood to keep working on my own stuff. From one small business owner to another - keep it up!
Great points! The algorithim lead me here and I'm so happy it did 😊
Wise advice ❤
There are always gonna be good months and bad months. It's just how business flows...just be patient and keep doing what your doing. Don't get discouraged or wear urself out. Just breathe and enjoy what you are doing. You have created something from the ground up with all that you had and now look where you are. You are amazing! 💕
Im literally crying. Coz right now im unemployed and was hoping to have my own bussiness. Im still trying to find a way how to do it, your video give me a little hope to continue what ive been thinking about.
Hi, I'm a full time nurse, i have had 2 work related injuries. I'm off work ATM, resting my shoulder (my 2nd work related injuries). I've only started my small business (side hustle) last year. I want to grow my small business into a success. I'm only selling via Facebook and within the hospital I'm working at. I was feeling down but your video cheered me up and inspired me to push through with my small business. Thankyou for sharing your struggles and hard work. I wish you all the health and success this year ❤️❤️❤️
This literally brought tears to my eyes. It’s so hard as an entrepreneur trying to make it, wanting to GIVE UP because you’re not getting the views, followers or sales that you imagine. You put so much hard work in behind the scenes that ppl do not see to produce quality products. So many times I wanted to throw in the towel but this little voice in my head keep telling me “DON’T YOU DARE” no matter the struggle I continue to forage ahead. This is my DREAM. MY PASSION and my LOVE of creating. I know that my time will be my time so I remain patient, humble and hopeful, your story has INSPIRED me so much that I’ve watched your video FIVE times. I’m PROUD of you for not giving up and hanging in there. I wish you continued SUCCESS with your business. I absolutely LOVE everything about it. Thanks for sharing your journey. It’s greatly appreciated ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing this!Your comment brought tears to my eyes!This to has inspired me,Thank you!
I love your words. It's make me feel closer to your words. It's happens to me. Don't give up!!
You’re so welcome ladies. We’re here to help inspire each other to hang in there no matter how much the tough get going, quests what? We are WOMEN and built for this #KEEP GOING 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@TouresLane You inspired meeee so muchh let's #KEEP GOINGGG
@@kunirfan we INSPRE each other….thank you for your kind words, it’s wholeheartedly appreciate it ❤️❤️❤️
I love how your doggie is always looking at you with admiration. You might have been disappointed: but your puppy always stared at you and waited for you with patience at the end of the day. Lovely video ♥️
Thank you for showing all sides of running a small business. It’s not all glitz and glamour it’s hard and that’s the honest truth. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your success and failures and I wish you many many good days and much success with your endeavors
Your story is an inspiration to anyone starting a small business from nothing. You deserve this ❤
I loved how honest this was. I’ve been wanting to start a business for some time but everyone makes it look so easy. Thank you for the honesty and documentation of the ups and downs. Even ending the video with another trial to face was just so realistic. Wishing you the best 💗✨

Kind of goes without saying (you'd think), but it is NEVER EASY. People making videos skip all the parts where they were broke and struggled to get things going. They just go straight to "here's my established process now." You're right to recognize that this is pretty much dishonest and misleading. Unless you're born into a family with money and physical space, starting a business is a grueling grind (mentally, financially, and physically). Many of us are working a full-time job in addition to our small operations. It's exhausting. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it doesn't. I think what's most important (from my experience) is keeping it simple at the start and resisting the tendency to think about too many things. Take small steps each week to build off of. Keep telling yourself that you won't build a corporate empire overnight (no one has--ever). It takes time, sweat, and sometimes tears.
Keep it simple, stick it through, and focus on what people and the planet actually want! You can do this!!!!
I’m going through this current moment where I want to get my kids clothing business off of the ground on a full time job. Not enough hours in the day, being tired on my days off or the few hours I get when I get home. I even tried trademarking my name, experienced it being denied to now I’m just hoping this time around it’s approved. At moments I wonder if it’s even worth it, but I know I want to be my own boss
As a small business owner for 18 years, I want to say I am SO impressed with your focus and drive. Keep up the GREAT work. You deserve every bit of success that comes your way!

This showed up on my recommended videos and I know why. I'm actually setting up an apparel shop (for pet lovers) and this is the 3rd time I'm trying. I was watching your video and I feel you! I'm broke right now (relying on my husband -- thank you, my love!) and I took on only one client so I can concentrate on this venture. I feel that you are giving me a sign to not lose hope! THANK YOU!
I just stumbled on your video. As a student and upcoming entrepreneur it is hard buh this video really showed me how hard work pays🥺🥺. So am not going to give up anymore am going to try everything till I make it. You are amazing love from Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬
Crying because I’m trying to do the same thing. Nobody talks about how hard and lonely this journey is. I wish you all the best. I can’t wait to order something from you. ❤
Hugs to you....
we're all the same don't feel lonely please😟😍
wishing you a huge success and a bright future💪✌.
You are so inspiring! To someone who doesn’t know what they want to do at 30 yrs old you are inspiring! Amazing how much you have and continue to overcome. I would have given up but you never did. Good things are coming for you, I’m rooting for you! I hope to be as tenacious and self reliant as you one day. ❤
This sums up what I was about to say except I'm 46! 😋 This was such an inspiring video for me too. I've been in a weird place in my life the last little while and feeling stagnant and I feel like this is just what I needed to see. 👍
You’re not alone I’m 31 n I have no idea what I want to be now that I’m grown up. Take each day as a new positive day for a step forward in your life. We have the power to change our density.
OMG! I accidentally ran into this video... You are amazing! Your designs are adorable and that is what is selling - your design! Keep in mind that people always see videos and posts, but do not necessarily hit the like button, but they are watching. Your story is inspiring. Thank you for sharing and keep up the good work! Businesses always have ups and downs...
my heart is full of doubts and excitement right now. It's been months since I planned to start building my own clothing business. I am always afraid about everything (money, workload, having to make sm pages, etc.) but i read this quote "If you keep on thinking about it, do it!" now, after watching your journey, I am all for it. I am doing it, In Jesus name
Coming from a mother, your mom will NEVER be disappointed. I would be so incredibly proud that my daughter had a dream and chased it, took a leap of faith, and put so much hard work into that dream. Not every business venture works out, but you didn't quit and I can guarantee you that she is overwhelmingly proud to be your mother.
ditto. I was concerned when I read she was "scared" to disappoint her mum. I hope its just because she wants to do so well, and not because her mum will actually be disappointed in her.
I feel this too, it's so heartwarming
Miriamtaylor hey was looks as with really heather to hospital to university heatlh is like as look in most it's wow, her for work as live any she yes how at her did birth don 't who to show an fine her school up class in before for but it's known is cave it's with us seems in easter eggs we lunch a okey now
that's so sweet! Yes i'm sure her mom must be very proud of her
I think CZcams is a great way to expand your business. Keep making these longer videos - they stick in our heads longer than a 15 second video that gets buried under the 50 other fifteen second videos i watch. Another thing, for me as a customer, is i forget the launch date. Blast that launch date everywhere!!! It should be the first thing i see, last thing i witness as i click off the video, bolded and threateningly looming over me as i read the description. I forget shit, i dont always remember that my shop is launching their new merch. Make me remember it!
Great tips, I hope she took them
Thank you!
This story is so inspiring. Initially I watched to learn but then ended up crying when you talked about your story and chick fil a. Plot twist... your video got viral and looks like you figured it out. I hope. Good luck with your future endeavors. 🤞🍀💕
Epic story. Well done. Zero talking in front of the camera. Had to pause and rewind and fast forward to read it all (I’m OCD like that). I’ve been selling my own clothing brands for over 10 years (Low Label). Doing things completely different than you in most ways. People ask me how I run my biz. I tell them how, but I also say there are a million ways to do it. This gave me some new ideas. And don’t worry, even after having success I still freak out and have anxiety during every launch, sale, Black Friday, pre-order, and vendor booth at events. It’s all an experiment, just focus on one day at a time and try to plan as best as you can for the future. Keep learning, stay humble, and find a way to laugh more and have fun. Sometimes I think I should get a regular job, and then I remember how far I’ve came on my own. From one biz person to another, keep doing your thing! 🙌🏼
As a mom, I can promise you that your mom won’t be disappointed and I know she is very proud of you♥️
@THE LIFE OF MOBO The moment they congratulate, etc. is the moment you stop trying for better. That's often the mindset. Being over critical, amongst other characteristics lead them to be our bane and maybe even our rival. No one improves without a rivalry. The movie Joy Luck Club spells out a lot about Asian Mom's. I'm sure the book does the same, but I haven't read it yet.
@@MickeyInSD Doesn't mean it's healthy or even appropriate. I get that cultures have different expectations, and especially among many 1st generation immigrant parents who sacrifice their lives for their kids. That said, just being a loving parent can be significantly more beneficial and motivating. I haven't had any 2nd generation Asian American friends who appreciated their parents. They almost all resented them pretty deeply. Not all of them were materially successful either, so it's not like this perfect formula for success or progress. Sometimes just being kind and supportive will propel a kid (or person) into greater heights than being cold and calculated.
@@jasonfrost5025 I agree. I think that all of us are limited to what we know, this includes our knowledge of how to be with our children. Some of us as humans learn to be different in our version of what we believe is better and we're lucky enough to be successful in the execution but most of us fail to be as nurturing, supportive, kind, etc. as we want to be. I think of @ernestomobojr's comment. Maybe their parents did not want to influence their child in anyway good or bad so that they can truly be their own authentic person. Maybe they didn't know any better. Maybe seeing their child in something like car racing or even be an athlete that could get hurt is terrifying.
I remember that my Mom told me you should never bring a dish or drinks to a party as it says to the host that they are not good enough to throw a proper party without guest contributing. In the American culture you never go to a party empty handed because then you are not showing your appreciation to be part and contribute in a real way to the experience. This was eye opening as I cannot say either culture has the right or wrong idea. Now I can't say it didn't hurt when my parents were absent for my achievements, but I'm not sure if they knew any better. Also back then I was too considerate of their time to ask them to be there for me and too guarded and afraid to tell them what I was doing was important and I needed them to be there. I didn't know how to ask for so much, I just thought my parents should know that they should be there for me at games or whatever. But how could they? How could they know that something is special to me and I want them to experience my high when I succeed and to be there to console me when I fail? I understand that even with telling them, however, they still may not show for any number of reasons that have actually little to do with me and my feelings or everything to do with my feelings. Well thank you to anyone that read this novel. It helped me get my own perspective.
I’ve been feeling to down lately because nobody showed up on my shop launch and got no orders. Got to the point i was comparing myself to big business on how come they got people on their launch day… because of this video I decided not to put myself down and do more better in the future with my small business.. thank you youre a inspiration ❤❤❤
I've been wanting to start a similiar business, but never knew where to start or where to get things from and this is the first place that has actually shared where they got their blanks, tools and various other things from. You've been more than helpful and your journey has blessed me. I pray you have an overflow of orders and a successful business. Thank you for generously sharing your process!
Me too. My problems are not good with IT and social media 😢. Learning very slowly because I'm a hands-on person 😭.
@@nancynguyen8643 you got this! you're better than you were before. Give yourself grace and keep learning and growing.
Same here. Just recently I've got the chance to start a small business. And clothing business is what I really want. But don't know how and where to start, like where to get the materials / supplies. And seeing a lot of these small businesses process, details, especially packaging, and all the stuff they use... It's kinda overwhelming.
@@janeserrano7911 Very understandable. A lot goes into starting a business and things don't always go as planned. I pray God grants you peace and guidance. If you're purposed to do this, then you already have all you internally need. Take it a day at a time, show yourself grace and He'll provide the resources as you trust Him.
Girl. I feel for you. I just recently started a small pottery business and although I still have my fulltime job right now and the small business is just a side hustle....Putting your all in it and only having a few people show up to your launch definitely hits hard. I'm sure especially when you are in a situation of low income for 6 months... I'm happy to hear things turned around when you focused on adjusting your videos. It gives me faith that one day I can get there too! ...I have not started a steady CZcams, but that is a future plan to help my small biz grow too!
As a small business owner myself, I take my hat off to you and commend you on your persistence and patience. This video has 1.2 MILLION views as I write this. Now THAT'S a comeback! You should be so so proud of yourself, cuz we're all proud of you! Excited to see how far you go. Massive love from the UK
Agreeee
Yes🙌🙌
What are the work
Can someone do this same job in Africa and make money?
This is mostly why most small businesses fail in the first 2 years. People try to do too much, get overwhelmed, and don't see it through if they hit failures. Just gotta remember to keep it simple, and we WILL fail here and there (just part of the process). People like this person succeed because they just shrug it off and find a better way to move forward.
I have been wanting to do my own business venture like this for 50…yes 50 years but life got in the way. No husband support…kids now grown…with grandkisses and no husband 🙌🏽…You’ve inspired me to do this. Thank you 🙏🏽
Wishing you all the success you deserve for staying focused and believing in your dream. Do what you love and the money will come…I’ve heard. You’re awesome!!!
Thank you for the video it has blessed so many ❤
hey, I'm also thinking of starting it. wish you goodluck.
Wish you all the best and goodluck
Please start, its never too late. Sending you a lot of good energy and good luck ❤
Gudluck ❤️
You inspired me! Got 3 college loans for kids . I need another income. I’m thinking to start one like you. I’ll do more research. Good luck! You’re hardworking and hopeful! Thanks for sharing your journey!
I can totally empathize! My own shop failed. I’m rooting for you! Buying your merch right now and telling friends about you!
Whatta woman YOU ARE! This video has me very emotional right now. I am in the hump phase of my entrepreneurial endeavors and seeing this is everything I need! Thank you for being so transparent with your process. I pray nothing less than the best for you!! Up up and AWAY!! And your Mom is going to be proud of you no matter WHAT! Just look at what you’ve accomplished in just 3 years My Dear! Shit I’m proud of you after 11 mins and 33 seconds! Keep up the greatness 🤩❤️
😆🥰🙌💕🙌

I empathize with you. I did the same 2 decades ago even before social media and at the beginning of selling online. The most important lesson I learned from it all is to take care of my health and put aside money (I can't touch) regularly no matter how small. In the end if everything fails, you've got your health and retirement money left. You can always do something else. You are giving it your best shot. That's all we can do in life. I wish you the very best.
I just found out your channel. No kidding, I am crying watching your video. The true story here is really move me. Some what I can relate with your story but the different is you don't give up. Previous fails are only make you stronger! Thank you so much for sharing ups and down the life of small businesses. You aren't trying to sell the story of 'how to get quick easy money' like other CZcamsr guru, you are so real that alone I appreciate it. Will definitely buy the tshirt from you! Again thank you so much for the inspiration. Love you girl!
I want to start my own business too but even when I think about it I just feel like giving up but when I watched this it was just amazing how you had so much courage to quit your job and to just keep on going even if everything was ugly you truly are an inspiration and keep on going girl you got this!💗
Wow! Thanks for sharing your story! I went through this as an artist but quit.. I invested 3k on a credit card and I don’t think I even made 1k back. I decided to take a hiatus and honestly it was for the best. I think I finally found my art style and it’s no longer about money or attention. It’s about making things I like or don’t like and sharing it in hopes it can help someone else or make their day!!
Keep going, it’ll work out ❤
czcams.com/video/DtEyHMoFry4/video.html
This inspires me to not be lazy when I get home from my day job. This is definitely inspiring! It helps to see the ups & downs and know that it isn't just all rainbows & butterflies.
czcams.com/video/DtEyHMoFry4/video.html
This video was a great reminder to fight for your dreams and remain faithful even when you do not see nothing in front of you. Great video. I hope your business continues to thrive and may you be at peace.
i want to start my own business but im so scared of failing and not making it and im so grateful i found your video, you've inspired me to never give up and hopefully one day i can start on my business since im only 16 years old
Considering the prevalence of fast fashion, clothing is such a tricky space to be in. What's in today won't be in tomorrow, so you either have to make timeless basics, high end one-of-a-kinds, or keep reinventing your brand to keep up with trends.
Starting to make my own perfume line this week. Thanks for this popping up on my wall God you are amazing I needed this. I have been going through the most hectic breaking process since after COVID job losses my mom passing on and so much more. But after watching this video I don't know how but I just know all will fall into place. I will make sure to keep fighting. My family will make it. We shall not lack. Thanks for your honesty 😗🙂
I'm not even a week into starting my own clothing brand and I am already starting to feel the struggle. I love it tho. Watching this video has been very emotionally relatable for me and I appreciate the time you spent to create this video and share it. I love your work, and everything your brand stands for. I wish nothing but the best!
Hi Kayla, this video has helped me understand how difficult starting a business on your own could be, but it is doable as you keep pushing through all those difficulties. It's really helpful that you also mentioned the sites where you got certain products and their prices. I hope to see more videos like these and I wish you success on your journey!
czcams.com/video/DtEyHMoFry4/video.html
I just want to tell you that your creativity and hard work to trying to get this to work is real inspiring.
Girl! You’re an inspiration! I also have a small business with apparel and I quit my job and it seems to get good moments and then self sabotage comes in. I’m not where you are and have lots to learn tweak and grow but seeing your videos inspires me to keep going and that it’s possible! You’re stuff is so cute! You got this!
This made me teary eyed and I began to think to myself that God works in mysterious and beautiful ways. You’re an inspiration and your business will always flourish because were your heart truly is. Blessings to you and thanks again ! 🦋🦋🦋🌈💐💐💐🎉🎉🎉🎁❤️
I know a manager of a store, and they take vacations during slow times. You could rest or prep. Whatever you need to do. Keeping record of it is a great idea so you can see if there is a pattern every year. The holidays are coming and I am sure this is just the calm before the storm. ❤️

I have to admit, IG is failing me tremendously. It was going really well a few months ago because for the first time ever I opened up to doing reels (I loved posting images back in the day and didn't want to adapt 😅) and now some of my reels don't reach at all, even to my current followers, which is soul crushing.
As you say though, you can't give up, we learn and we keep trying. I feel it, I really do.
Also can't wait for you to open up to more countries. Much love, you are doing great 💖😁
omg I am currently having the same issue!! My reels were doing very well finally for the first month, until randomly all of a sudden the views drop down to 200 & no likes! On all platforms at the same time lol :( it's extremely tiring for sure but I keep telling myself to keep pushing forward & don't give up
Its instagram always changing the algorithm so they can fck with small businesses
I give you so much respect for keep going and never giving up. You're mom should be extremely proud.
I am 30 years old, it's been 10 years now that I work as a cleaner, and I am going through a bad phase the last few days, I never understand why do some people look down for cleaning people and maids, and the most disgusting thing that our own boss don't care about us, we are just a tool a number even if we work hard we are replaceable. I just want to make my life better be my own boss, be useful and make myself, my family and people around me HAPPY. Today after browsing a few hours through CZcams, i came across your CZcams video which was suggested to me, I don't know if it's a sign from GOD, But I just love your work and everything you do, you are such an inspiration.
Your business will go so far AND i wish you all the best.THANK YOU SO MUCH.
💖💖💖🙏🏽
Your aesthetic, designs and packaging are top notch, how can you be scared of disappointing ANYONE after all you've done and accomplished? That would be a character flaw on them, you on the other hand should be really proud of yourself, seriously... Stay safe and have a sweet one!✨
This inspired me so much to start my brand one day. As a college student I’m struggling now and I feel like I wanna start a small business. But I hope everyone has a good day. ❤❤
❤️ Love your honesty in this video. I’m a small biz owner, in at just 8 months, and it is so tough. I took a social media break because it felt all so overwhelming. Thank you for showing the raw footage and explaining the true nature of what it means to be a small business owner. Keep going! You are doing great things!!
Unsolicited advice, I know: It sounds a bit counterintuitive, but try not to do too many things at once. It's so easy to just get overwhelmed by thinking you have to do a thousand different things (we don't!). Just focus on baby steps and what works one at a time. I often find myself in this constant cycle of making progress but then being blasted by self-doubt, thinking I have to do all these major things and that I'll never make it when I compare myself to bigger brands. I just take a breath and tell myself that I'm not even there yet; worry about what matters most right now for my brand and customers. The rest will come later.
This is a constant reminder that business has it's ups and downs.
Thank you for your sincerity
As a small business myself (I haven't even launched yet), I really appreciate your vulnerability in sharing your ups and downs. It's inspiring to me and gives a way better picture of what being an entrepreneur is like. I wish you nothing but the best and I know you'll get through this next phase of growth. Keep going! xoxo J
I'm so inspired by the fact that you keep pushing through. That attitude is first class and you are helping so many people to keep persevering, me included!!!
I have to say that I respect your work ethic SO MUCH. But what I respect even more is that you don't gatekeep. You literally show us the tools and prices of things you use, instead of keeping them to yourself like some sort of secret. That's really awesome to see, and I wish you only success!!!
You are 'beyond' amazing. You've worked hard and continually do so at your craft and are constantly striving to learn new ways in order to work with ease and wisdom. What I have found during my years in the Media and my business etc, is that it is not necessarily the talented that rise to the top, there are many at the moment with no talent but yet get all the traction. However, that is short term and leaves no credible or lasting footprint - what you are doing is for the long term and you are very wise. You are a true role model and remember, to all that write and wish you well in the comments can see that you are incredible, you just need to believe that too. Embrace and balance yourself on what you perceive as the 'bad' days, because they are your teacher in how to balance your 'boat' - and when the good days appear you will see how the bad days were and are part of your incredible journey. Sending you an abundance of blessings Overthinker Apparel - you are simply 'one' of the very best out there. Psyche aka Psyche Thompson UK 🌹
Thanks so much for sharing your story with us! I pressed pause so many times to read each word and watch all the details of your designs. You're a warrior!!!
Good luck! I love your shop and have made 2 purchases. I think people would love to see more personal content about you! How you design the art, styling your items, etc. Also some things that may help: collab with other makers online, reduce prices, find a way to have the shop open longer, become more eco friendly with organic cotton... you have so many options and such a cute shop that is unlike any others. You got this! Life won't always be so hard.
Can we just talk about how strong you have been and faithful to your dreams. You did and are doing a really good job, keep going because you already proved yourself that anything is possible.
I know it's hard, damn you made me and so many more cry with just this video. Don't put too much pressure on yourself be loving and inspirational to you. We don't need to find that no where else besides in one's self, I am learning that lesson too belive me.
Loved your work genuinely, specially at a time I am also trying to find the couraged you had and hey it's your mom she will never be disappointed, she believes in you and clearly supports. At least that's what I just saw 🤗
Much love to you, your business and your mom. ❤️🦋
i clicked on this video looking for tips and motivation, yet i'm left feeling moved by your story. You are such a hard worker and inspiration! you've come so far that I have no doubt you will CONTINUE to be successful :)
I admire your dedication and all your hard work to making your business grow🥺... not a lot of people would even give 5 hours to their business a week, and then they give up. But you keep on going even when times were hard. You're such an inspiration ❤
Agreeee
I think the problem for a lot of people is the lack of free time to dedicate to a business that is not guaranteed to work, which is a shame.
As a mother I’d be proud you went this far on your own from scratch and I’d support you all the way through the ups and downs. You’re doing well you just gotta keep the faith and know that this is your calling
Ugghh! My heart...This was such a beautiful journey and so inspiring! Thank you for sharing the real BTS of building a business. Thank you for not leaving out the "failures" or I like to call them learning opportunities. Thank you for not having "perfect" content all the time. I really appreciate seeing the hard work, long days and nights, pure will and determination you put into your brand and business. I'm so glad this video showed up on my feed. Your brand is so gorgeous! You are doing absolutely amazing, don't forget that! 1.5M views isn't half bad either! You definitely have a new subscriber! 💛😸
I can’t thank you enough to share your business story. It’s so authentic, full of passion and honesty. I almost cried in tears. So much admiration to your talents, determination and hard work. Keep up the amazing work, there’re going to be many many people who love your creative works. ❤🎉❤🎉
You have accomplished what we could only dream of. Keep going. You are an inch from the goal.
I'm crying for you as if I was the one doing what you just pushed through. All because I've wanted to do the same with my life . Sometimes all we need is proof from someone else that it's all possible!
You are living proof , and for that I'm grateful!
You can say you made it
the amount of energy you have... it's AMAZING!
Me and my wife were looking for business ideas and stumbled upon this video. Hats off to your courage! You WILL succeed and you're on the ladder. Keep up the hard work and keep inspiring. Cheers and have an amazing 2023!
Your channel is such an inspiration to us all trying to build businesses! Keep up the work and kudos to you for not giving up even when things became difficult ! ❤
Don't know how I came across this video, but I'm glad I did. Your journey is beautiful to watch and very inspiring too. I have been thinking of starting a small business myself and maybe this video was exactly what I needed to get my act together. Life is filled with up's and down's you doing great hun, keep it up.
I ended up crying, I am so proud of you. I love how honest you were. This is by far the best small biz video on CZcams I've seen. Thank you so much for sharing with us
Girl you worked so hard, that makes me want to work hard and don't give up easily. Thank you!
It is always heart-warming to see people consistently and persistently try to pursue their goals. I admire you. Keep working hard I hope the business will grow sufficiently so you can live the life you want ^^
I had a business before. A cookie business. A lot of people loved my cookies but I am not happy with my own product and I stopped. People still looking for it. I baked a lot of cookies just to get the texture I want but still fail. Now, I am trying again. Being a pastry chef has always been my dream since I am a kid but I can't afford culinary school. Seeing your video just inspired me to continue my passion. Thank you
Dang I feel inspired . I always wanted to fulfill my business. Now it makes me want to support and combine it just like yourself. I'm so happy your mom supported you , something I wish would happen to me.
Your story is ridiculously inspiring and motivating! I cried, I smiled, and laughed! Keep pushing because people love to see this!! Thank you for sharing!!!! I am truly inspired by your work!! You go girl!!!! ❤❤❤
you are my inspiration to continue with a brand that I keep without continuing,
I came into your channel a few months ago and fell in love with your content. I told my sister about it and she fell in love too. In total we have 6 sweaters from your shop. We love them all! I’m from South Texas where it’s hot all year round but still wanted to support a small business. Don’t give up because the quality is great. We can’t wait for you to drop more merch.
As a small business owner, I can feel you so much ❤ I am so so proud of you and amazed how you did it all alone. May you grow each and everyday 100 folds and achieve all your goals. Sending you love and luck ❤
So inspiring🥰 I absolutely loved seeing the humble beginnings . Every business has it's ups and downs but as long as you push forward you will see the balance of it all. I wish you all the best but I know you're going to figure it out and do great!
You GOT THIS Overthinker!!! Keep inspiring the CZcams world!! TFS Stay Blessed!! ☺️
I never related to someone so much in my entire life 🥺 I also graduated with a degree in psychology, with a mediocre job (still haven’t found a job within my degree yet either 🤦🏾♀️) as a server & have a small business that I can’t seem to get enough exposure from , thanks for this video , I believe that it was meant for me to see this today as I was feeling a bit low from my failures , but I will never stop trying , thank you ❤I hope you see this comment & see that you are inspiring
Keep going 😊💪
I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your video is really wide awakening for most people starting a business and not knowing how it will end. Like most successful entrepreneurs all and most of them failed But they never stop trying. I wish you the best in your venture to success. You’re not alone.
More power to you girl!! This randomly popped up on my feed and I'm sure it'll pop up on many others soon. You'll have a great launch day and things will go back to normal. Fighting!! 🙌🏼♥️
This is the realist video I've seen. I love the transparency! From one business owner to the next, ups and downs are the beauty of being an entrepreneur. Stop worrying about disappointing your mom and put that energy into doing what makes YOU happy. Love and well wishes 💕
YOU'RE AN INSPIRATION to all those wanting to start a small business. Thank you for your honesty and may your business expand and may you continue to prosper!👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥
Ive been watching a lot of videos on how to start a brand and sure they all talk about how challenging it is. Thank you for letting us see a real insight. I am really humbled.
thank you.
I'm trying to start my own business with my own handmade handbags designs after losing so much during the pandemic, but it takes money for a business license/trademark, website, materials, etc.
There are so many expenses to even start from nothing. No one really talks about the cost of starting a small business. Many make it seem so easy when it's not, so thank you for keeping it real by showing the ups and downs.
I'm not giving up, even if I have to sell some bags on the side of the road to get enough money to start my brand/business. Praying for the best to hopefully start next year.
I wish you all the best on this project! And never give up or lose motivation. I love you girl, u definitely got this❤️
@@tazzyland8191 Thank you.😌🌺
So much Creativity coupled with a lot of Hardwork!
May a lot more good things come your way. You deserve good things!
I am so inspired and in awe of your work. 💜
Loved seeing your process and journey. So many ups and downs in the creative life. This was inspiring. I’m rooting for you!!
I’m in tears watching this! So happy for you. I feel like you’re telling my story . I am going through this exact same thing but watching your video gives me inspiration. Big congrats to you job well done! I know my day is coming too
This is so inspiring. I can so relate to this. I just barely started my own small business on my own knowing very little to nothing. It’s been about a month or so since I opened my online shop. I feel like giving up because I haven’t made any sales in weeks.😩 I know if I keep trying and pushing I will get there, but at the same time I feel like giving up.
I made sales here and there from family and friends that’s about it. It’s not even enough to cover all the expenses.😢
I know failure will come before success for some people. I just might need to make some changes and figure out what works for me. Hopefully, business will pick up down the road. 🤞🏼
Long YT vlogs would be good for getting traffic to ur Shopify shop! Tags also! I'm subbed
@@cayenarosada Thank you for the tip! I will make longer videos.
Hi Tina, your stuff is cute,, but do you have a target market? I noticed that most of your products are glass. Do you have any products that are non-glass/not easily broken if it falls? Children and adults with butter fingers etc would prefer hard to break products. Also, pls check out other CZcamsrs like 'Angela Jasmine' who started at the bottom and built her biz over time. God bless you and your business.
@@leshabenn3368 thank you! Yes I’ve watched her videos. She is also so inspiring. I know it will take time to grow. As long as I put all the effort, I know I will get there.
Right now I have mostly glass cups. The only non glass ones, are the stainless tumblers I have that are for hot and cold drinks. I’m working on getting different types of products that are not glass.
Hey! Not sure if you’re on tiktok but brands seem to get a lot of recognition on there. post 2-3 times a day and you should get the clientele you desire in no time 😊
This is really inspiring, I’ve given up on art so many times these past few years, it’s a hard lonely journey and sucky mental health makes it worse. You’re making me wanna make clothes again😭 Good luck on your journey!
Gotta be one of the greatest videos I've ever seen on CZcams. I am a musician who is beginning to venture into making my own clothing brand and this video was honestly incredible. You have all my respect and support, just wow.
You inspire me so much, you are so creative and resilient, yes there are ups and downs but always remember to take care of yourself first especially during difficult times
I am very surprised, a couple of months ago I saw one of your videos and I was fascinated with your work, it seems that it has been easy to get to where you are, but with this video you have shown us your hard work and your determination to fulfill your dreams. It's been very inspiring since you also started with an Iron, because I'm right at that point, frustrated that I screwed up the job. You have come very far and I hope you continue to grow, your followers will be here supporting you.
Saw your suggested video and came here to say congratulations. I wish you much more success than what you have already experienced. I love how you kept investing in your business as you grew.
