This popped up today and I had to pause for a moment. Not because of the amount—but because I remember when this was just an idea in my head. I started this store as a side hustle, telling myself: “Just be consistent and see what happens.” January felt like the right time to try instead of overthink. Seeing a payout reminds me that small steps actually compound. This is my store for anyone curious: 👉 www.rosellabeautystudio.com Sharing this for motivation—especially if you’re starting something new this year. Anyone else building quietly right now?

Last January, I remember sitting down and thinking: “Is this really going to be another year where nothing changes?” I had a job. I was busy. But deep down, I felt stuck. I wanted something of my own—something that could grow even when I wasn’t trading hours for money. That’s when I decided to finally build an online store. Not to escape my job overnight—but as a side project I could slowly grow. January felt like the right time because I wasn’t rushed. I gave myself permission to learn, make mistakes, and build momentum. Curious—does anyone else use January to reset and try something new, or do you wait until “later”?
