A Teaser.....Inside My Mind....
The funny thing about life is that, you think you are until you actually are and once you are its like wow, I really thought I was something lol. Ya feel me?
For instance, Ive known what I wanted to do for quite some time, I mean you’ve read it, I quit my job to pursue my truest desires, and I did, I mean I am. I am and have been on the path to chasing my dreams for quite some time and some of them are actually coming true! But despite my actions, for the longest time I never actually solidified what I was doing. It was more so, yes I am doing this but I also need a solid business plan to bring me passive income and open doors I cant open with this creative talent I was pursuing. Why in the world I thought this was beyond me.
It wasnt until maybe a few weeks ago that I really sat down, looked at the work I put in and what I had to show for it. While I was proud of my progress, I wasnt structured properly so a lot of it didnt necessarily stick…ya know. That realization allowed me to see how many opportunities I was allowing myself to miss by thinking so small with the gift God put before me. Like bihhh you could really set yaself up a whole lot better and leverage these opportunities you do get for so much more. You have so many facets to you that you don’t have to be so linear with it. Dont get me wrong I knew we could be layered but it never dawned on me that a layer could consist of multiple layers.
If by now what I am saying doesnt make sense to you, let me elaborate. I am a makeup artist, I also sell art, I have been since 2015. During that whole time, I never saw how those crafts could actually serve as a solid business to expand to the lengths my mind imagined. I dont know what I thought actually, I just know that I missed the point of me being an artist and a business. I thought art to art and business to business. I hope I am making sense. Anyway, yea, I was so linear in thought, that I actually believed that I could only do/be one or the other. Crazy I know. Like I knew to operate as a Sole Proprietor but in reality I could be an S-Corp or sumn and THAT is what I really want. Theres levels to it and Im just tryna keep leveling up!
Anyway. I say all this to say, its never too late to get your ducks in a row and tighten up. All the experience has been just that, experience, Now, I know better and I have the system to do better. Onward and upward, and here is to me sharing a glimpse of what I have in store for the future.
Stay tuned……
