Over the past few months, I’ve been reflecting on how far I’ve come in my eCommerce journey. The mistakes, the late nights, the failed tests, the breakthroughs, and the small wins that kept me moving. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: don’t give up too early.Q4 is still one of the most powerful seasons for growth. There’s so much potential left on the table for anyone willing to keep pushing, keep testing, and stay consistent. eCommerce isn’t a straight line, it’s a process. And every step forward counts, even when it feels slow. If you’re still building, still trying, still figuring things out… keep going. You’re closer than you think. I’m also open to sharing the insights, strategies, and mindset shifts that helped me get to this point. If you want me to share, just drop a comment. Keep pushing, the year isn’t over yet.

Hey fam 🌈💬 Just sharing a referral that might help someone here: A friend of mine designs full websites for community owners and small biz owners — and they include a free custom logo with every project (which is rare). They currently have 2 spots open this month, so if you're thinking about upgrading your website or starting fresh, I can connect you with them. No pressure — just thought I’d mention it in case someone here has been looking for that next step. If you want an intro, comment “connect me” or DM me ✨

I want to share my story with you today, a story that proves the impossible is merely the starting line for the persistent. Just a few years ago, I was defined by struggle. As a single mother of three, I was in full-time survival mode. Following my divorce, my life became a relentless cycle of working two jobs—cleaning offices during the day, waiting tables at night—simply to prevent the lights from being cut off. There were painful nights when I went without food so my children could eat, and I'd quietly weep after they slept, convinced I was permanently stuck. Then, one evening, a glimmer of light appeared in the form of a Shopify dropshipping video. I had no capital, zero experience, and a mountain of doubt, but I seized onto that thread of hope. I committed myself to learning, absorbing free YouTube tutorials during my breaks, managing a fledgling business from my phone, often with my youngest in my arms. My first two ventures failed. I stood at the edge of giving up, completely depleted. But an inner conviction drove me: Try one more time. That third attempt, specializing in the baby niche, proved to be the turning point. With strategic help, that store soared, generating more revenue in one day than I had previously earned in an entire month. In less than a year, I walked away from both taxing jobs, secured a stable home for my family, and finally regained my peace. I now work on my own terms, maximizing time with my children and living the life I once considered a fantasy. To anyone who feels trapped in their struggle today: Never give up. Continue to educate yourself, and continue to show up. Resilience is your most powerful asset for scaling through life's toughest challenges. That next small step is your chance to change everything.
