So let me paint you a picture of my actual day.

I'm up, I'm clocked in by 8 doing graphic design work for my brother's company — working from home, which I'm genuinely grateful for.

And somewhere in between that, my lunch break, and after 5?

That's when I build my Amare business.

I'm posting on Instagram during my lunch break.

I'm responding to DMs after I clock out.

I'm learning on voice memos during walks.

I'm having real conversations with women who needed to hear what I've been sharing.

That's it. That's the business.

No second job pressure. No trading all my free time. Just showing up consistently in the pockets of time I already have.

If you've ever thought "I don't have time for something like that" — honestly, I get it. I said the same thing.

But you might have more pockets than you think.

Comment DAY 💛 and I'll reach out personally.

3/28 Edited to

... Read moreBuilding a business from home while managing other responsibilities is often seen as overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. From my experience, the key lies in recognizing the 'pockets of time' we tend to overlook. For instance, during lunch breaks, commuting, or even quick moments between tasks, you can engage in meaningful business activities like posting on social media, responding to messages, or learning new skills through audio resources. Consistency is more important than long hours. Instead of feeling the pressure to dedicate large, uninterrupted blocks of time, aim to show up regularly in the small intervals available. This approach not only makes the business manageable but also prevents burnout. It’s encouraging to realize that building a business doesn’t require quitting your job or losing all your free time. Another valuable insight from my journey is the power of community and genuine conversations. Engaging with your audience authentically can create meaningful connections, which often translates into loyal customers and business growth. Don’t underestimate the impact of simple, real interactions over polished marketing tactics. Lastly, mindset plays a crucial role. It's common to think, 'I don't have time,' but once you start tracking how you spend your day, you may find more opportunities than expected. Trusting yourself to utilize these moments effectively can transform your mindset and business progress. Remember, no filter, no pretense—just consistent, deliberate effort within your busy life.

Paint tip for glass
This liquid masking tape is my go to when I have to paint around a lot of glass work. If any of the masking liquid gets on the wood, it just acts as a primer, and any that gets on the glass can be cut and peeled off easily. In my opinion, it’s so much quicker than using masking tape. #paint #diy
