$850+ for just for ONE event. No student debt.

I started my business with under $100, just volunteering at my kids’ school to get practice. I didn’t have a business plan, just a creative hustle and the willingness to show up.

Little by little, doors opened and they just keep getting bigger.

If you’ve been wanting to start your own business or side hustle here are 5 Steps to Start NOW:

1. Find Your Gift:

What do you love doing? What came naturally as a kid?

2. Practice It:

Hone your skill, even if it’s just for fun.

3. Validate It:

Offer it for free or volunteer to test the waters.

4. Get the Basics:

Start with what you need, not everything at once. You will get what you need and more as you grow. TRUST me.

5. Create + Share:

Post your journey, build trust, and let people find you.

We all have natural talents and skills that can be monetized.

No more being told what to do. No more doing things you don’t want to do.

If you’ve been wanting to start something, this is your sign ✨
