- I'm Aja Dang and this is a vlog following my week as a small biz owner as I prepare for my new product launch! I launched my small business MSTRPLN in Jan 2021 and this video is all about how I prepared for this launch. There are definitely a lot of great small business tips in this video, the main one being - nothing will go as planned. If these small business videos interest you, I can do other videos about packing orders, using social media to market your business and tips I've learned so far about running a business. I am definitely not a pro as we are still learning but if you're thinking about starting a business but too afraid to do so - this is your sign to start!

This is what differentiates Aja with other vloggers and people on social media. Instead of only bettering herself, she wants to improve the lives of other women to be more financially secure. So glad she's not promoting a makeup palette or some cheap jewelry!
She just the absolute best. I wish nothing but the best for her 💪🤜🤛🦸♀️
I would love more vlog-style videos of #DITL of a small biz owner! Feels much more relatable and entertaining to watch but extremely informative.
definitely had to google #DITL but that's a great idea! Lots of things coming up for the business so I can do that :)
@@AjaDang Haha! :)
Hi Aja 😊 - Congratulations on the launch of the collegiate planners and restock of the original planners.🎊🎉
It is truly fascinating and interesting to see the behind-the-scenes of all the different aspects that come with running a small business. Thank you so much for sharing. Wishing you all the very best! Stay safe and well 🔥💖👑🎉🎊
Thanks Haseena!
Would love to see more small biz content!
anything in particular?
@@AjaDang I'm starting a small business myself, so liked the launch day. Would also love to see more behind the scenes in terms of production/layouts throughout the creation process. Also maybe some content about how to start a business, marketing advice, strategy, mindset, etc. Maybe pull from what you learned from the start up incubator as well. Would be nice to have these videos mixed in with regular content since starting your own business is a other way to enhance financial stability if you succeed.
@@rachelstallings5460 I got you!
Agreed, I love the small business behind the scenes videos!
i love that you included an internship tracker!!! That would have been so so helpful for me as a student
Aja, you're so, so, so cute when your phone rang with orders on launch day. That little giggle was just so unabashedly joyful that it absolutely made my day!
I love your reaction when to the sound every time you got an order. So happy for you
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this vlog as someone who dreams daily about launching their own small business.🤩 For now it’s not gonna happen for me because I am busting my ass off to get higher education, driver’s license and emergency fund in place.👩🏻🎓
yes, definitely get your emergency fund in place. Owning a business is very stressful, so the last thing you want to worry about are your finances.
Congrats on the launch! I’m waiting for the dated 2022 planner ☺️
Congrats, Aja! I've been here since you started your channel and I'm so happy you're seeing success. Thank you for being a teacher to this 26 year old!
Aja, I just can’t thank you enough for all you do and being so down to earth, thank you so much for sharing your journey 😘
starting my first year of graduate school, I'm so excited to use this planner!
Congrats on the launch! Loved your excited sounds whenever your phone made sounds. :D It's been great seeing you take control of your finances and then growing as an entrepeneur, selling shirts and now selling planners. Really enjoying your behind the scenes videos.
To see all the hard work and dedication you have for your business is so inspirational! I cant wait till the undated launches as I am going to purchase it! A pleasure to support you!
Oh my gosh, you are such a go getter. Love your dedication, creativity and spirit. Keep this going! 😁
YESSSSS always here for a vlog!! and congrats on the lauunchhh
So happy for you Aja!!!!! That's amazing. You look beautiful and have that healthy glow 👏
Omg congratulations 🎉 this was such a wholesome video. I’m so happy for you girl!
This is so beautiful to watch wishing you success with the launch of your planners your amazing 🥰
Loved this small business owner vlog! I got so excited for you when I heard the little dings!
So expansive! So inspiring! So proud of you!!
As a small business owner who pitches on a regular basis, this was a BRILLIANT 2-minute pitch! Wow! The structure, your tone, pace and information. I know the frustration of saying what you want and then being over time, but you killed it! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
wow really? Thank you! Do you apply for lots of grants or are you trying to get investors?
Congratulations! You are an awesome inspiration for many good things in life.
You’re probably one of the hardest working women I follow and I love watching you grow and succeed x
Congratulations Aja! I have loved watching your journey which inspired me to get the hell out of debt. Can’t wait to see you continue growing as a business woman and your life with Brian ❤️
omg congratssssss!!!!! so happy for you!
Thank you for sharing this process! I love your vlogs!! :)
so inspired by you!! congratulations sis!! also loving this type of vlog!!
I really liked seeing this! I would like to watch more videos like this. It's nice to see what goes into things.
Love the video! I ordered a planner and I’m so stoked to use it this year. Thanks Aja!
wow thanks for your order!
I always look at your videos and only now realized I'm not subscribed 🙈 Subscribed now. I use to look at you when you now started CZcams and then stopped. Found you again like a year ago. I love seeing where you are now. Congratulations on the launch.
Thanks for your authenticity AND sharing your wins!
I would love a vlog or a video on how you figured out how to make your idea come to life or something similar! ❤️ congratulations!
12:30 made me tear up Aja. Good for you for striving
I did some final code on your website and it turned out SO AMAZING! Congrats Aja on the launch!
I am so freaking proud of you 👏🏻❤️🎉
I LOVED this bts of an entrepreneur. So many entrepreneurs work alone and it's really gratifying and interesting to see how other entrepreneurs spend their time!
Thank you so much! I got mine! I love it!
Hi Aja,
My planner delivered today and I am so excited to use it! Congratulations on the launch!
hope you love it!
I'm so sad that I only saw this new planner right after I've bought my new planner for school! I could have returned it, but I got it while on vacation.. But definitely, next school year!!! I love the simple look yet effective pages!
no worries! We'll have them updated for the 2022 school year.
omg ordering rn, been waiting for this :)
thank you!!
Awesome pitch! Congrats👏🏻 .
Loveeee 💕💕
This planner is interesting, yet the perfect thing for you to build! I look up to you to pay off my debt. I am thinking about picking one up :)
as a small business owner myself, this was so enjoyable and inspiring to watch. thank you aja. wish i could buy your planners but sadly its too expensive in my currency. long time fan xx
Those giggles from the phone notifying you of the first orders!
I love this video! Thank you for sharing! Do you think you could also share some tips on budgeting and launching / managing a small business? For people who have no idea what they are doing and may feel overwhelmed and lost in the process? Again love to see female entrepreneurs finding their way in the business world! 👏❤️👩⚖️
I like your nice business idea of budget calendars made especially for college students so they can less likely end up in colossal debt once they graduate.
Gurrrrrl your pitch is 🔥
Would love to see a financial video/series on being a small business owner. I'm not sure how to organize my spreadsheets, how to file my taxes, and where to open up a business bank account. You helped me get my personal financial life in order, so I'd love to get my business financial life together as well!
something like this would've been great when i was at uni. congrats
Yay!!
As a new small business owner myself, it made me so happy to see you get excited for the cha Ching sound 😭😭🤍🤍🤍
the best sound!
It’s awesome that you partnered with LATER!!! I already use them so excited to try out that new account 😃 congrats on the academic planner!! Waiting for the undated planner, excited for it to come back in stock 🥳
... undated planners just arrived 10 minutes ago ;) (will go live Monday, you heard it here first)
@@AjaDang YAYA IM READY 🥳🥳🥳
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I also have a small business and the hardest part is being patient as we grow. At times it seems like the efforts put in don’t match the outcome. But patience is important.
Yes! It does take patience AND a solid plan, so you know you're moving forward. Have you tried creating a primary goal and a blueprint on how you'll achieve it, using 90-day increments? This can be a game changer! Good luck @JayLarcher!
@@fueltofiregroups thank you so much for responding. I will do that for sure. I love that it’s 90 day increments. It makes me feel like the plan can be reachable. Most of our business at first came through word of mouth but things are slowing down and I’m new to social media. But 90 day plan... I can do that. 😁 thanks again
@@jaylarcher7410 Here's a free training my company did on how to create your goals and a blueprint. Hope it helps! czcams.com/video/q_WUA24EhEs/video.html
ah i loved seeing your face when the orders came in!!!! I think it could be fun to also do a livestream of some sort :)
I've actually been wanting to start streaming on Twitch for budgeting/planning stuff. That would actually be a really fun idea too!
Congratulations! :-)
Aja, can you make undated academic planner? im not studying anymore but im thinking of using this in different way :)
This is so exciting! Been looking for a planner like this. Can you ship to Germany?
We can but it's expensive and it takes a while! but check out MSTRPLN.co and see if it's worth it for you!
Dat 2 minute-ish elevator pitch was 🤌🏼✨
That looks so amazing! Could you make one for teachers?
we've had teachers test it out and said they liked it! You'd probably have to readjust some of the pages but I'm hoping to sell some printables that you can past into this planner to make those adjustments easier
Ordered! We will also be getting another MSTRplan planner when you have that ordering open.
thank you!
I wish I was going to school just so I could use this planner lol
You still manage to upload a video on launch week? 👏👏👏🙌
I most definitely need a vacation soon lol
