So many people think that if you aren’t working non stop 15 hours a day you aren’t doing enough for your business. That lifestyle is not healthy or natural, we are just forced to work multiple jobs to stay alive in this new world. We should all work to change the verbiage around this and congratulate each other for taking things out of our schedules. I’m so happy for you for taking the step and now you can really put your energy into your passions!
I discovered your channel about 2 weeks ago and have been binge watching your videos so much you have become a part of our household. Our 4 month old baby girl smiles and laughs everytime you are on screen. She thinks you are talking to her and you are now a familiar face. ha ha
Monica! Congratulations!!! I remember my first day as a full-time entrepreneur after quitting my job and it was so surreal! And SUCH a huge achievement! Congratulations on reaching your goal, always so inspiring 🎉
congrats! i think it's "better" to work 24/7 earning more for yourself than working the typical 9-5, and making someone else richer (if that makes sense)...excited to see your journey!
Will never get tired telling you that you inspired me to push through with my entrepreneurial dreams 🥰 now I have 2 pop up shops coming and hoping for more pop ups by next year.
It was surreal tuning in this morning and seeing your unboxing of your gift! I was like "wait a minute, she's opening her gif!." I felt like I was looking into a weird mirror to a parallel universe lol. I appreciate you Monica. I commented "congrats" on your other vid about leaving your job but I have to say it again...CONGRATS!!! I'm soooo happy for you and can't wait to see your beautiful journey.
You are such an inspiration !! Girl tears came to my eyes seeing how far you’ve come. I’m one year into my business journey and I get how scary it all can be. Your videos have helped me during some late nights ❤❤❤ and praying you’re business continues to flourish !!!
Hey Monica! I have really been enjoying your channel. I would love to hear how you prepared financially for this jump and possibly what (if any) milestones you used to determine your timing. Love seeing this transition over the last two years!! So cool
I found your youtube channel like a week ago and let me tell you i’m obsessed!!! you’re so inspiring i’m making moves thanks to you!! ✨✨ wishing you the best in this new chapter! you are killing it 🎉
i’ve been binging your videos for the past week and you’ve inspired me to create again! i used to run a shop that solely sold stickers and prints (not in my aesthetic) because i knew it sold. but seeing how you have so many different crafts you do and sell in your own aesthetic, it’s inspired me to start up a new shop! god knows how many hobbies i have abandoned, but this would be a great opportunity to bring it all together into what i love and what i want! congrats on your transition into your full time small biz era! ❤️
Congratulations on going full time with your business. That is my current dream! I have been self-employed full time in the past, but went on to a career in archaeology. Although I love archaeology, I have found myself deep in the corporate world and I don't enjoy it. I have been trying to build my business for years ,but have found it so difficult while working full time corporate. I wish I was as young as you again. I am almost 56 and although my kids are grown, I still have a mortgage and bills, and kids in college, etc... SO, it makes me afraid to quit my job because I need a certain level of income.
I opened my etsy only 1 week ago and I am now also a full time entrepreneut. its soo scary, so many fears like not having enough money or time. what if it does not work, whats plan B and so on. But your videos allways motivait me to keep going and not give up.
It is so good to see you so happy and excited to pursue your dream. Can’t wait to see what you do next. I so get it. I have done this type of thing a few times over the year, but as I am retired for a while now, I’m back at it again. Your enthusiasm is contagious.
I absolutely LOVE Halara for my pop up events! They’re the perfect work clothes when you want to be stylish but still comfy. I’d love to see you collab/work with Halara and see what outfits you come up with!
GIRL! I love the idea of color coding the google calendar like that to be able to analyze the data. I use my calendar for alerts and reminders and such but I should definitely try the time blocking. I’ve been “full time” with my business for a few years but just started actually having enough work to be really full time in the last 6 months and I feel exhausted and overwhelmed nearly every day even though I love what I’m doing. I think it’s time to sit back and think about how I can make it all fit better!
OMG you have been beyond helpful your videos have answered a multitude of questions I had regarding my small business so thank you and waiting on what is next regarding the secret project you have as I have already signed up. Thank you so much Monica for sharing your knowledge and information in such a friendly way
I found you a couple of days ago and watched so many of your videos already. You’ve inspired me to actually start doing something towards my idea of small business, not just sit on it! So I’m slowly getting there 💕 I’m from Europe so the possibilities are a bit different than in US but I still believe I can do it. Love watching your vlogs, keep it up!
I’m obsessed and loving your story. Been following you for a long time and I look forward for every new episode. Celebration 🎉 for your entrepreneurial journey ❤
When I first started making scrunchies, I only made them out of remnant fabric I got at Joann.. I still make most of them that way keeps the cost down.
Hi Monica! Congrats on your new chapter of your life! Hope maybe this time you'll have time to check your DM. I asked my sis-in-law to check the order. The card I requested was not made. I was sad. But I understand since you were still working then. Congrats and good luck! I watch all your videos!
The little cloths bags I get on Amazon. I am in the testing phase but I am going to be making wax melts and putting them in bags to be more eco friendly and not use plastic in my business. Love you Monica 💛💛
👋 Congratulations. I just started my small business journey about 2 months ago and launched 2 weeks ago. Thank you for your inspiring content. I hope to grow and be my own boss someday.
“i could get cancelled i guess” crying. we’ll cancel the people trying to cancel you before that happens lol. so happy for you thank you for sharing your journey! - typing this at my full-time job as i’m taking notes on my ipad
Omg, I have sooo many questions!😂 I'm sitting at work, and like you, my job is pleasant😊 but I've been dabbling and practicing, and this has been a dream of mine since about 10 years old. I have no idea where to start. 😢
Hey, can you elaborate on what you mean by having the luck and privilege helping you with ur business? Does that mean you’re not generating good revenue yet just from selling ur product, BUT you’re privileged enough to keep afloat with other income and resources while trying to grow ur business?
💛Thank you for the advice on starting our own TH-cam channel without overthinking it… that has helped me post weekly 😅 I am a mother of 2 teenagers so I have some free time now ☺️ Love your content 🩵
How much money are you making a year from your business? I ask since you seem to have a good word/life balance but also pay your rent off of a small business.
I would love to make content, but I worry about my appearance. Specifically, my teeth. They're not perfect, but they're also not the worst. I worry I may only attract negative comments on my appearance and nothing on my content.

Yes it does make complete sense!! 👏🏾👏🏾
Welcome to the full time self employed art world. The ups are awesome; the lows are challenging. It all balances out!
You’re the real deal 🥰 You’re confident and humble, relaxed and focused. It’s not at all surprising that you’ve gotten this far. ☺️
I love your gratitude, your excitement, and your vlogs! Not annoying at all. Please film the closet declutter! Those are my fav videos on TH-cam! lol

I’m new to your channel but subbed
When I first started making scrunchies, I only made them out of remnant fabric I got at Joann.. I still make most of them that way keeps the cost down.
How exciting! Congratulations! Looking forward to all of your content
I’m so happy for youuuu
I love seeing you on your new journey ☺️❤️ your amazing

Monica, sorry I can't concentrate because I ❤ your sweater! I want one!
Omg, I have sooo many questions!😂 I'm sitting at work, and like you, my job is pleasant😊 but I've been dabbling and practicing, and this has been a dream of mine since about 10 years old. I have no idea where to start. 😢
Love watching your videos!!
Can you share what you cut your fabric for scrunchies and the length for the elastic? I would love to make them for my family for gifts.
Congratulations!!! 🎉What motivated you to go full time? Are you nervous since benefits such as insurance and retirement will be different?
Hey, can you elaborate on what you mean by having the luck and privilege helping you with ur business? Does that mean you’re not generating good revenue yet just from selling ur product, BUT you’re privileged enough to keep afloat with other income and resources while trying to grow ur business?
Has nothing to do with luck or privilege. Your smart and your not lazy!
I want to be like u when I grow up🎉 congrats
Hi Monica, I love your vlogs. Manifesting that I'll be there soon. Can you please tell me what app you use to edit your videos? Many thanks.
Grace
I use Adobe Premiere Pro!

You may have broken out with the stress of making your exciting change by leaving your corporate job. ❤❤
