Build Your Business for YOU, Not for Them

It's a fear I've experienced myself: the worry about being seen and what people you know might say behind your back. But here’s the reality: your business and your life are not for them. They are for you, for your family, and for the people you want around you. If they aren't there for you, their opinions don't actually matter.

One of the most empowering things you can do is block out the noise. If people on social media stir up negative emotions, you can block them so they don't see what you post. Or, you can take a deep breath and decide, 'I'm going to do it anyway.' This takes courage, but every post and every step you take is a moment of personal growth.

This is your journey to grow and develop a business for yourself. You deserve the best—the opportunities around the corner, and the chance to become the person you want to be. While it might sound cliché, it's absolutely true. You have to be brave to claim what you deserve.

By building your business for you, you're not just creating a livelihood; you're finding your tribe—the people who are genuinely interested in what you do. You don't need everyone. The people you're worried about seeing your posts aren't your new customers anyway.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

• Think of a story or an idea you're passionate about.

• Be brave and share it with the world. It doesn't have to be perfect or complicated.

• Then, celebrate! You are okay just the way you are—however quirky, weird, or strange. We are not 'too much.' We are just ourselves, and that’s exactly what the right people are looking for.
