I started my small pet sitting business in 2011. When I was 30. I had no money as I had just been made redundant suddenly for the 2nd time. In the credit crunch financial crisis, no jobs around then and the ones I applied for I either didn't get an interview or someone a bit older and more experienced than me got the job. So I went back to babysitting and then got asked to pet sit for one of those families. My business was hit hard by the pandemic and I just about got through it. I'm still going but it's completely changed and people have cut back on what they will spend on for pet care. I lost a 3rd of my business. As my dog walking side of it completely dropped away as people moved away, got family or neighbours to do it for free or undercutting me. Even though I was at a midrange affordable price for a reason. To make sure that the people with lower budgets could still afford me. I still have pet sitting and per daycare customers and new ones too. Before the pandemic I was close to being able to employ someone to help with pet sitting or dog walking. But now I can't afford to do that incase I don't have enough work to share out. It would be part time for that person but I wanted to be able to give them enough hrs to make it viable for them and me. Now I have had to make hard decisions and turn down work that would take me away from town for too long as I have to keep my cleaning jobs going too.
There is nothing wrong for having enough income to travel. If I was rich I would have taken my children to travel the world too. I guess if we want the same we could also find ways to have high income instead 😊we can do it too!
Keep your passion . Surround yourself with people who have a similar passion or who just loyal to get the work done and make your day better. Never stop. Keep it up. I'm rooting for you
Girl you are so awesome! I love seeing things like this because I am chronically ill and college or a typical 9-5 job is no longer an option for me. I’m starting up my own business as well and seeing so many other young women in the game is inspiring!
I'm a medical student..and recently i realised that passion is a very very very comlicated concept..rather than searching for passion i'm trying to constantly improve my self .try to find the best way to serve humanity with what u have regardless of what u feel because u can't wait forever for passion life is too short. ..just move on and maybe one day you'll end up finding ur passion
this is so inspiring but i can’t rlly relate bcs i go on multiple vacations a year. but this made me wanna pursue my small business and make ppl feel good, so tysm!!💗
Thank goodness you brought this up! Truly, investing has changed my perspective on how one can succeed in life; working multiple jobs isn't the optimal way to attain financial freedom and unfortunately, we discover this later in life. Currently earn as much as 10 grand weekly and this has improved my financial life. Great piece!.
Wow, congratulations on your impressive investment success! Your discipline and focus on delayed gratification is truly inspiring. I'm curious, what are some of the key factors that you consider when making investment decisions? Do you have any tips for those of us who are just starting to dip our toes into the world of investing? Thanks for sharing your story!
Best life changing advice is to pick a good financial mentor and let them guide you towards wealth. This really saves you from loss and time wasting. I am glad I know Olivia Sullivan.
I started making bracelets with my friends 2 years ago. We gradually got better and started selling them local. This summer we set up an Etsy account and TikTok. It wasn’t successful so we had to take the Etsy down. The TikTok is up and we are being patient and hoping for the best.
What people do not understand is that you can't just put things in an Etsy store or on TikTok and make money. Learn about SEO. SEO is everything in the online world. Then in a couple of years when you learn about SEO, if you want to add SEO to your Etsy store and or your TikTok it will have a much better chance at doing well. Even this video you just watched has SEO on the back end of it. The internet revolves around SEO. Good luck and keep us updated!
I've been trying to start mine since I was 12 it's now been like a year and I'm still making stuff before I actually try to make my buisness up and running. It's all hand made so it's kinda hard but I feel I relate to you and I don't know where I can buy but If I figure it out I will
I figured out that I wanted to become a photographer on my 10th birthday because I got a camera. I've loved it ever since! The burn outs happen! I hope you keep at it!! 🥰
Hi Maddie,so good to hear,I was in the same boat.Where can I buy that gadget you use to print on t shirts? Would love to buy one for myself....please let me know. Keep up with the good job.🎉🎉
I'm also from the 2000, and i tried the sticker buisness ever since 2022 but i've spent so much time not working on it while being burnt ans trying other jobs but i literally didn't like any of all the jobs i got and that sticker business made me into a street vendor and i got so much joy out of actually selling the things i liked doing and talking to people so now i gotta resume that so i dowbloaded tiktok and started my whole virtual business because i only did face to face sells but now I have the challenge to make my own virtual venture because i can actually do a decent job and people like how my things turn out, truly the worst enemy can be yourself if you let it
Do you need a degree in business to start a small business? Stupid question, I know. I was a vet tech student who recently got her vet assisting certificate and failed the first semester of my second year of studies. Been looking for work. Been discouraged by a lot of people, mostly people who I thought were friends. Hearing your story made want to try and sell my crochet items again. Cheers to you and may your small business continue to prosper!
This is such an inspirational story my friend is about to start her own she is 12 btw and I happen you and your business keep growing and if it burns you out feel free to take another little break even if it is only for a month or so
well one of the most effective ways to engage,and boost your sales is creating website and an app to brand your business and am an expert I can help you with this services
I have the passion to start my dream business, that I have wanted since I was 13yrs old, but, being disabled and in a wheelchair full-time with only the $1,253 a month i get to live on from Social Security Disability Benefits doesn't leave me ANY wiggle room financially to even know where to begin.
Oh... I don't know the reason why of course but if the reason is money. Maybe try camping with your family or something. I do that every year and it's super fun!
I need help starting my own Halloween haunted attraction business I want to make my own so bad basically starting from no money and I want to make my own homestead and cave house also would love to make one cave house be a Airbnb I really need help getting started.
Wow I feel old. I was 27 in 2008. Well done for starting a small business.

I'm slowly investing in my cleaning jobs buying tools so I can offer more services.
Damn I was born in 2008. Yall were alive back then? Did the internet exist?
@@phatduck9405What type of silly and ignorant question is this?? So irrational
@@RamatuMakama it was a joke bruv. Don't take it too serious, you need to start chillmaxxing☠
The way she say “ my dad and I traveled the world at 8” so casually🫠
Like who can afford to travel the world? Her dad must have a high income job.
There is nothing wrong for having enough income to travel. If I was rich I would have taken my children to travel the world too. I guess if we want the same we could also find ways to have high income instead 😊we can do it too!
I think it was more likely he had a job that made him travel and he was allowed to bring her @@healthbeets1519
@@rftng3319well … it depends on how you got the money ….
She also said it was just Miami and Singapore. Not exactly “traveling the world”
Keep your passion . Surround yourself with people who have a similar passion or who just loyal to get the work done and make your day better. Never stop. Keep it up. I'm rooting for you

I figured out that I wanted to become a photographer on my 10th birthday because I got a camera. I've loved it ever since! The burn outs happen! I hope you keep at it!! 🥰
How did you get into photography?
Keep going forward 😊 it's really hard to start from beginning especially in branding and finding your market, but it will always worth all ❤
True it is hard because I never even got my first order yet and I had a shop for 6mo
Wow this is incredible
My passion started at 9 years old and now I’m still really young but I’m planning to start a business
