Thank you so much for baring with my lack of recent posts! I’ve been working on some business-related opportunities from the back-end, which I hope will give me the ability to build out my social media presence in a way that’s most useful to my Instagram fam! In 2018, I’ve been blessed with some prospects that I never imagined would come my way. Candidly, I always knew that I could make a decent income on my own, but I never imagined that I could build a business, becoming entirely self-reliant in a fulfilling and abundant way. In retrospect, i underestimated myself (How many of us do the same thing on a day to day basis, telling ourselves that we’ll never excel?) Women ask me all the time if it’s possible to have a career in blogging -- I’ve found that it absolutely is. While it takes a lot of work (much of which isn’t seen by anyone else, prompting people to ask, ‘what does she do all day’), self-motivation, thick skin, networking skills and aligning with good people who genuinely want to see you succeed, this is a relatively new business trajectory -- an open space -- which means that the possibilities are endless and the sky is the limit. Whether or not you’re interested in blogging, I’ll leave you with this thought: the act of striving for something is one of the only proven keys to long-term happiness in human-beings. I’ve learned that there’s no better feeling than working hard and seeing the results of your efforts pay off. If I ever have a daughter, I want to teach her to be somebody instead of somebody’s, and I want to be able demonstrate that in my own way, I did the very same thing. http://liketk.it/2uqn9 liketkit @liketoknow.it
