Message from our founder:
😬 I had this reel for a week now in my drafts and I didn’t want to post thinking “it’s not that great and won’t get much of a support” or “I haven’t reached some crazy things in life besides 6 figure business and it won’t motivate people”
I was truly inspired by these nice motivational reels from some artists that showed their challenges and path to success.
However I realized that there was time when this type of stories from other people kept me moving to my success, that every success story is different and deserves to be out there and maybe it will actually help and motivate someone else 🥰
I was able to build my business in a short amount of time and it doesn’t mean it was easy for me. I just pushed for it harder than anyone as I didn’t want to come back to that broke life. 😄
I hope people will find themselves relatable and nobody’s path is easier than mine! Just everyone’s is different!
I wanted to say YOU can make it and you are the only one who can change your own life! 💔
