Just go for it

Do you ever have all these grand ideas of things you want to do but you end up overthinking and paralyzed with indecision and fear?! That's where I have been living for I don't know how long!! One day I realized if I never try then it will never happen.


I have a few hobbies/passions that I thought would be great to turn into businesses. At this point, I'm working full time at my regular 9-5 job where I'm so lucky to say that I really enjoy, but I do know that it's not what I want to do forever. I needed to find something different that I knew I would enjoy once it was time to close the chapter on my 9-5 job. I kept being pulled to the online space and to the things I really enjoyed, I mean how better than to spend your days ~ doing what you love AND making money for it!!


One problem... I had NO idea where or how to start!!


I knew I loved beauty and make up, so enter, my beauty business, I mean I was already using skincare and playing with make up. But.... would my friends or anyone else want to follow along as I talked about beauty tips and played with makeup? Spoiler Alert: YES!! My VIP Beauty Group has been the most rewarding part of ALL of this!! I'll need an entire post just for that! ;)


I knew I loved shopping and the entirety of ALL of my social media feeds was nothing but shopping, style & beauty bloggers/influencers, and of course dogs and Taylor Swift!! But did other people like the same things I liked? I'm not 20 and I'm not a size 0 ~ would anyone even want to see my reviews if I wasn't the perfect model?! You guess it - YES!! Bonus: I have made some great friendships that all started just by talking about clothes and shopping!!


Getting started is scary, and being at the beginning can be overwhelming. I'm trying to be a "good wife and mom" before and after work, I'm trying to nurture my friendships an keep up with social engagements. I'm spending ALL my time creating graphics, editing videos, learning about websites, and signing up for all these virtual classes and networking events I really don't have time to attend and still honoring the commitment to my full time job!


Honestly, I was SO overwhelmed (still am at times) that I just wanted to quit!! I have almost quit so many times!!! I mean many things have gone WRONG and it has moments where I'm just so stressed out and just feel lost...


But.... my friend, I am telling you... If you want it, go for it!! It's not always going to be easy, there will be many bumps along the road. But my gosh, the people you will meet, the friends you will make, the support you will get from complete strangers, the things you will learn... You will find somethings you thought you really loved ~ maybe you don't love so much and you will find new passions and new dreams you had no idea were inside you! You will awaken something beautiful inside yourself and learn just how strong and capable you are!


The journey really is beautiful!! Don't deprive yourself of the life you want to live by living in fear! Just go for it and see what happens!! I bet you'll be pleasantly surprised!


This is just the beginning and I can't wait to see where this goes!! I'm just going to keep giving it my all and I'm going to let the universe do it's thing. I hope you come along with me as we find new adventures!
