Hi Sophia, I'm much older than you, and i'm very inspired by your business approach and leadership. Thank you for your transparency - i'm sure this has added much value to new bloggers, including myself! With gratitude!!
I turn 23 this year and I'm hoping to have a monetized blog up and running. My goal is to do it full time so seeing someone my age really kicking ass at this is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Same here! I turn 23 this year and finally figured out what I want to blog about. Seeing someone not just being successful but thriving is very inspiring
Girl I am 34 years old and I am so inspired by You! You are such a boss it’s freaking amazing! I’m getting ready to launch my first blog and I found you in research and I am so glad I did! Keep up the great work! Can’t wait to see how far you will go ❤️
Just wanted to say thanks for this video. I watched this a month ago when I was getting just getting the ball rolling with my blog and it was incredibly inspiring. Amazing to hear someone turn their blog into a brick & mortar business.
I started a business when i was young too, thought i was young to handle it well, turns out 10 years later i was doing way better than those on their thirties. Age is just a number, you're doing great, the knowledge you have now is everything you need, and the rest will come along with experience. I'm telling you what i wish someone told me years ago before i left my business for a depressing full-time job.
I am in awe of you!! You are such a hard worker, no wonder why you are successful. Not only that, you are a born entrepreneur! You have such a good instinct when it comes to business and you are fearless - you go for it even though you are scared shitless. I admire that very much. I bought your Perfecting Pinterest course and just finished it this week. Lots of very helpful tips! Thank you so much for sharing what you learned! You are amazing to watch. Lots of success to you for the next year... not that you need it! :)
Sophia, you're so stinkin' impressive and polished. I've been watching you for a while and I'm wowed by your work ethic, wisdom, and how you just go, go, go with no excuses and such a practical approach. Thank you for your transparency! BTW your IG is AMAZING and it legit looks like an interior design firm. Before watching this I saw it and that was my first thought. I just LOVE how your stategically plodding your way along and making your mark! And creating the "dorm design" niche for yourself. WHOAH!!! Next you'll be BSL physical products too! ;-) Can't wait to see!! You're inspiring me big time!!!
Very inspiring to watch! I started my own blog three months ago and even though it's exciting, I sometimes I find it hard to visualise how it's going to be successful! Just gotta keep going 😊
Wow, this is so amazing! I have kids your age and just getting started in blogging. You've really inspired me but your typical day looks overwhelming and exhausting. You are very down-to-earth and I'm learning so much from you!
I’m 26 and I love home decor! I want my long-term business to be about that. My second blog will be about that, but I’m still focusing on the first so maybe I’ll start on my second blog in 2 - 3 years.
I know you weren't super keen on doing tons of blog videos but I've been dancing around/studying blogging for 4 years and I literally cried with relief when I started watching your videos this month. You have given me hope and watching your journey and you grow and work your business hard is so inspiring. You have so much wisdom in you and I'm excited to keep watching you grow! Cheering you on! 💕🥳👏
P.s. if you haven't heard of Chalene Johnson, she's kind of an Instagram Queen and has some great tips on her free resources and course for partially automating DMs and still keeping a really personal touch. Might help save some time :)
I honestly loved 💓watching this video ..it’s so entertaining and it just shows the reality of running a business..there’s so much that goes into it .you should do more of these videos and make it a series
in makes me sweaty seeing you in that puffer jacket at the desk and eating lol i love wrapping up in a blanket and a warm cup of coffee at work, jackets make me feel constricted
Love this! I want so bad to be a full time blogger! I’m going to just start soon. I plan to get your course bundle. Blogging seems a bit more overwhelming than I thought though lol. But I’m sure everyone’s processes are different. Thanks for sharing 😊
Blogging is overwhelming for everyone haha. It’s a lot of work. I just started making money on the last day of my 5th month with 678 website views. I work practically all day on it.
I've only just found your channel and it's a breath of fresh air that you show everything, keep it real and don't put on a show. If you've ever considered doing a video on your hiring process & what you look for in people who want to get into blogging that would be an amazing watch. I look forward to your journey and I think no matter you age or wisdom, no one knows what the they're doing so you're not alone haha
Hi Sophia! I just discovered your content yesterday and love it! The one thing I've noticed is that your channel and the BSL blogging channel don't link to each other so I was a bit confused when I accidentally stumbled upon the other one. I really enjoy the talking videos but I think you could make them more dynamic by cutting some of your vocal pauses and places where you start a sentence but digress from the point. I'm learning a lot about content strategy with you, so thank you for that!
I have got to meet you! I am going into retirement soon and you were the first blogger to inspire me. When I retire, I plan to blog full time. Also, I love seeing you and your boyfriend together. Seems like you have a lot of fun!
I love your channel. I appreciate you and your growth mindset. Thank you, thank you, thank you for being humble and keeping it real - its why I followed.
I purchased your courses and looking forward to be consistent in blogging. You are an inspiration, remind me of when i was 26. Starting over in 50s. THX Sophia!!
oh my gosh Sophia!!! I cannot believe how similar we are! I'm a sophomore in college studying interior design and construction management with hopes of having my own firm someday. I want to flip a house with my dad during my last year in college and document the entire thing on instagram and youtube, and my ultimate goal is to have my own HGTV show!!;) You are one of the bloggers that inspired me to start my own blog and I hope I can be successful and reach the points you have hit! I cannot wait to continue following along on your journey!!
I've had my blog for about 6 years, when did you decide you needed help to grow your blog? Who was your first hire to help you achieve that growth? I'm thinking of hiring a blog manager and I'm curious if that's what I should do first.
Hi sophia, I am one of your followers actually you are amazing. I like the way you manage your time and style of living hope oneday get the same opportunity in this life.
You are so inspiring!! I aim to have my website up this 1-2nd quarter and have links from my new youtube channel on it! My biggest hurdle is figuring out my niche.. I am a designer and photographer and love marketing and social media.. but I’m “so young” no one older will take me seriously so I want to focus on college aged female online entrepreneurs/bloggers... however, do you think photo tips is too narrow of a niche?:/
How do you find your talent/creators? Do you focus on pumping out more quantity content with a variety of writers? How many blog posts is your team publishing per month? Curious on how you let go of writing and handed the work to others.
You 23😱😱😱omg😱😱you too mature and your knowledge is top notch💯💯😍😍😍nice work Sophia
Please film more of these-love it!
Glad 2 C someone so focused with a plan in mind. Not the case 4 me @ 23. Good job.
Hi Sophia, I'm much older than you, and i'm very inspired by your business approach and leadership. Thank you for your transparency - i'm sure this has added much value to new bloggers, including myself! With gratitude!!
I'm v late watching this but I echo every word! 😊
So crazy how you grew your blog to where it is now! You go girl!
Thanks for sharing.
Laveyooooocokolate
This is amazing to see a young woman doing her thing with blogging!! Truly an inspiration 💛
IDK if I feel motivated or scared since I'm 23 and I'm unemployed. Thank you so much for sharing your day!
You will get there. Just work on your dreams, a day at a time.
Hope ur working now. If not apply @ any of the stores/restaurants. McDonald's is paying $14 an hour
Me right now! I turn 24 tomorrow haha. I'm excited, but so nervous about this journey
@@aurorarose9830 i dont wanna grow old like its scary
I love to see how excited Americans get over the 'hot water tea thing' .. its crazy how much impact a kettle really can have!

Very inspiring to watch! I started my own blog three months ago and even though it's exciting, I sometimes I find it hard to visualise how it's going to be successful! Just gotta keep going 😊
How is it going now?
Wow, this is so amazing! I have kids your age and just getting started in blogging. You've really inspired me but your typical day looks overwhelming and exhausting. You are very down-to-earth and I'm learning so much from you!
It's amazing to see how much you've grown over the last few years ♡ I've purchased both of your courses, women supporting women!
You are awesome! Congratulations on all of your success and being so grounded! You are a great role model for young women!!
She’s my new fave! I didn’t think there were girls my age interested in home decor and stuff like that 😂🥰
I’m 26 and I love home decor! I want my long-term business to be about that. My second blog will be about that, but I’m still focusing on the first so maybe I’ll start on my second blog in 2 - 3 years.

Currently binge watching your content & just want to say that your work ethic is inspiring!! Keep grinding!!!

Hopefully you are saving and investing some of your money also. The earlier you start the more you'll have. Congrats on your success.
as a viewer from the U.K. I thought it was so cute how you were excited about using the kettle 🥺
Me too hahaha. I thought why is she sooo excited! It's just an electric kettle lol
Me to! I was like huh it’s a kettle. Don’t they have kettles in America
in makes me sweaty seeing you in that puffer jacket at the desk and eating lol i love wrapping up in a blanket and a warm cup of coffee at work, jackets make me feel constricted
I appreciate the honesty of this video. Being an entrepreneur can be a lot - stressful and overwhelming at times. Your to do list is INSANE!
You’re my inspiration at this moment! I’m 30 next month!!! I’ll be back in 1 hour to show how much I grw
Oh my goodness! This stressed me outttt! I’m just beginning my blog and everything you do seems overwhelming!

This was super interesting and inspiring! I hope you do more of these!!!
I play this in my background while I'm writing my content.

Ben commenting his struggle with being stuck at 600 followers was hilarious 😄 your reaction was hilarious too 😄
Her reaction was totally rude towards her boyfriend. Just not nice.
@@lgfencedeck6368 I agree, nothing hilarious about it. Unprofessional
@@deekarabin2673 it was SO funny
So rude is that her boyfriend thou?
I wish to grow my journey in blooging like you,thanks for inspiring us you deserve what you have now.You motivates me a lot.
Yeah, best of luck starting a family, we had a blog. After our second child came, having a family incapacitated our schedule
This is amazing how you've built the blog into a business, very inspiring.
KILLING THE GAME ❤️🔥You should definitely make a video showing how long it took to finally make money from your blog ✨
You're a very smart, capable, and hardworking woman. That would be impressive at any age -- but, at 23, it's really astounding.
I’m taking EBA because of you! The course is exactly what I needed!
I Knnnnnooooowwwwwww!!! Me tooo....
