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 🎉

[cindyyarns]

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!

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’re the real deal 🥰 You’re confident and humble, relaxed and focused. It’s not at all surprising that you’ve gotten this far. ☺️

Welcome to the full time self employed art world. The ups are awesome; the lows are challenging. It all balances out!

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.

[mrsconniewynn]

I love your gratitude, your excitement, and your vlogs! Not annoying at all. Please film the closet declutter! Those are my fav videos on YouTube! lol

[delillahflores]

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

[rosariorivass]

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 🎉

[melanienguyen]

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! ❤️

[Xiahki]

You’re so inspirational ~ I love watching your videos while I craft! Thank you

[amberandoak]

i love that i can see the glow and joy in your face now that you're chasing your passions :)

[clocreatesdiy]

Monica! I've been watching you since day one, I'm so happy for you 🎉

[fritziaustin]

I am so proud of you Monica and congratulations on stepping out on faith.

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.

So proud of you Monica and I appreciate you sharing your experience & journey.

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!
