Hey everyone āØ
For anyone new here, I wanted to share a little about my story and how I became the person I am today.
I grew up in a pretty average household. My parents always made sure we had what we needed, but we definitely didnāt have all the extra things a lot of other kids had. And growing up, that bothered me more than Iād like to admit.
I cared way too much about fitting in. I compared myself to everyone around me. I printed out UGG labels and stuck them on the back of my Walmart boots because I was embarrassed they werenāt real. I pretended to have a phone because I didnāt want people to know I didnāt have one. Those things may sound small now, but when youāre young and insecure, they feel like everything.
I always had friends. I played sports, cheered, stayed involved, and was even student council president in middle school. From the outside I probably looked confident, but truthfully, I spent a lot of my younger years feeling like I wasnāt enough.
When I turned 16, my mama told me if I wanted to drive, I needed to get a job. So I did. And from then on, I paid my own way. My car, my insurance, my phone, my bills. At 17, I moved out and started figuring life out on my own.
And Iāll be honest, nothing has ever been handed to me.
No one gave me a blueprint for business. No one taught me how to start one. No one in my family had done it before. I had to figure it out through trial and error, failure, long nights, stress, doubt, and just refusing to quit.
But I knew one thing for sure: I never wanted to live a life where I had to constantly worry if I could afford groceries, miss opportunities because I didnāt have the money, or depend on someone else to take care of me.
So I worked. Hard.
And now at 22, Iāve built businesses Iām proud of, I have customers who support me faithfully, and Iāve created stability for myself that younger me could only dream of.
Iām not sharing this to brag.Iām sharing it because I know what it feels like to compare yourself to everyone else. I know what it feels like to think other people are ahead because they started with more. I know what it feels like to wonder if youāll ever get there.
If thatās you, please hear me when I say this:
Keep going.
Where you start does not determine where you finish.What you grew up with does not define what you can build.And just because it hasnāt happened yet does not mean it wonāt.
Be patient. Be disciplined. Stay hungry. Trust God. Work hard.
You are capable of creating a life bigger than you ever imagined.
All glory to God for making me the woman I am today. āØ
