I used to tell myself this exact lie. “I’ll start once I can save more.” “Maybe after I pay off a few bills.” “Later, when money isn’t so tight.” And at first it made sense… I was working retail, scraping by on $22.50 an hour, barely covering rent and groceries. Every cent was already accounted for. So of course, when I looked at starting a beauty business, I thought: “How could I possibly afford this right now?” But here’s what I didn’t realise at the time: every week I waited, I was choosing to stay broke. Choosing to stay exhausted. Choosing to keep my daughter in daycare longer than I wanted just so I could work extra shifts. It hit me one day money wasn’t the real problem. Waiting was the problem. Because nothing was going to change unless I changed it. Extra money wasn't going to magically fall into my lap So I made the scariest decision of my life. I invested when I felt like I had nothing. And the craziest part? That decision gave me everything. Within 3 months, I was making more as a lash tech in a single week than I used to make in an entire month of retail. I went from $22.50/hr to $130+ an hour. I went from stressing over bills to finally breathing. I wasted so much time thinking I “couldn’t afford it.” The truth is, I couldn’t afford to keep waiting. If you’re telling yourself that same story right now… trust me, I get it. But waiting is costing you far more than starting ever will.
