Hello Monica, I just want to say that I love your talking segments! You mentioned someone commenting that you should talk less in your videos but I really like it and felt like I needed to say that. I love listening to what you have to say whilst doing other things. The b-roll footage is also nice but I can't fully enjoy that when I am needing to look elsewhere, if I am knitting for example, but the talking segments become kind of like a podcast to me. Love you! Hugs, from Sweden.
I came here to comment the same thing. I watch Monica while I am working on my projects and chores. I love her vlogs and truly enjoy her talking segments. 💘
I’m building my own empire! You totally inspire me that I can do it. I’m in my 50’s and have raised my family but now I want to do something just for me.
Building an empire! I like when you talk because sometimes when you ramble all your thoughts the way you do it reminds me of me throughout my workday! We have so much to think about all the time! 😂 It’s nice to feel like I have a coworker when working alone. Thank you for that! I will have to say I miss coworkers!❤
Gurl I am 50 and trying to build my own empire! LOL, so you keep pushing in a healthy way because yes your skin does get worse but beware you knees get worse too. Arthritis is a REAL thing in your 40s & 50s! So keep lighting that sould with flames while your young!
Eww who told you not to talk?!?? Haters 🙄 love to listen to you yap. I’m usually working, cleaning or crafting so I’m not a B roll girl 😂 maybe yapping while you roll B Roll to blend the two? Idk please don’t stop yapping though😭 it’s motivational to me.
Every time I feel unproductive I just watch your vlogs, you have become such an inspiration. I am building my own empire on YT and like you I YT is my passion project and I have a side hustle as well as full time job. Someday I just want to be like you a full time entrepreneur and I believe I can be there with such a motivating inspo to follow. Love you and wishing you the best in 2025. 🎉🎉🎉
Building my own empire! My small business is approaching it's one year anniversary, and I am so excited to officially have been in business for a whole 365 days. Congratulations Monica on your success in 2024
I’m building my own empire! I’m retiring early from corporate and going all in with my business in 2025 as an 50+ year old! You’re never too old to dream BIG & make moves to make it happen!!! Faith without work is dead!!!!
So much fun. I started resetting on December, so much going on last year, so much growth and by middle July, I started reconecting with myself. I'm happily married, mom of 2 kids and starting building my Empire too. Your videos came into My life (by the end of December 2024) just when I needed someone to get me inspired. I'm almost 43 and i still feeling like i'm 21 😂. We are living the life we love ... Hugs from Chile ♥️🎉🥳
Okay, Monica, when are we going to be friends? Haha. You said you want to connect with girlies who are building their own empire and with the girls that get it. That’s me! I’m 30 year old crafty, homebody also in the NYC area and one of my goals this year is to expand my circle and put myself out there. You are such an inspiration :)
I'm building my art empire in 2025! I wasted the last 4 years worried about others opinions, failure etc. But this year I want to fully take the plunge. I'm currently still living at home so I think now is the best time to go for it. Cheers to a successful 2025!
I’m building my own empire! I fell into a new career in 2024. It was a great opportunity for me yet there were challenges and growing pains. 2025 has started with see the results of my hard work pay off. I’m excited to update my vision board (I’ve been procrastinating the last few weeks. You inspired me to get it done) 🥰
I’m Building my Empire by going full force in my practice “Coach Naturally” and “The Multi-Passionate Academy” with services and products 😊 I love what you do girly ❤
I’m building my own empire-pastry. 😊 You are very humble. Because of watching your videos I’ve created a vision board for my life and pastry business. 😊
There's a lot that I found impressive about this video, but my favorite moment was when you admitted that you only love sewing for yourself, but not your business. That can be a very difficult thing to admit as a type-A, do-it-all-yourself kind of person, especially when hand-sewn goods have done so well in your shop. Kudos for having the self-awareness and emotional maturity it takes to be real about that. I hope that you'll get to do a lot of sewing for fun in 2025, and that you'll find lots of great employees to sew for your shop! I'm about to turn 28 and my art store is still at a very awkward start-up point. I'm building my empire though! Wish me luck! I know how much you love bright colors; you might enjoy the botanical paintings I've been working on which I share on my own RUclips channel ☺
Hi Monica Here 31 and trying to build my empire. You inspire me to go for it and to build my online presence here on RUclips. Still camera shy but I want to do it because I want to inspire people like you Love your talking sessions ❤ Thank you From France 😊
I'm always so happy when I see that you uploaded a new video! I really enjoy it and feel much more motivated to keep going with my small art biz. thank you so much for sharing! 😊💗
does anyone agree with me that she has an kourney kardashian visual? but monicas brain are so much like i can listen to her all day shes full of thoughts and generous enough to share and giving us motivation . You are awesome xoxo
I'm building an empire. You and a few other youtube crafters really inspired me to get back into crafting. My husband has seen me enjoy it and has encouraged me to make it a business. We are working on a family business, me with my crafts and him with his wood & metal creations. Thank you for always sharing your business on here.
I'm building an empire! 🥳 SO excited to see celebration on your 2025 vision board - keep an eye on your PO Box for a little something to help get you started on that goal! PS - I did a paint by numbers kit last year and loved the patience it taught me - but it was roughly the same size as yours and took almost 60 hours! Granted the included paints sucked so I had to paint each spot 3 times for full opacity...so maybe yours will only take 20ish hours?? Either way, I hope you enjoy the process!
Starting my small business this year! I have been trying to start for about 3 years and life has just gotten in the way. I am 61 and I want to get started now!
I’m building my own empire. Your accomplishments this past year has made me feel hopeful in going all in, for my own passion project. I think if its for you thing will work out in your favor.
I’m building my own empire! started 2024 with my polymer clay pet sculpting business and you really inspire me... so this year part of my vision board is to grow my youtube channel
I'm building my own empire! And it is thanks to you. You could be my daughter (my daughter is actually a year older than you), but I am at a point in my life where I need to reinvent myself and you are so sweet and so inspiring and I love all of what you do!
I’m building my own empire ❤ I loved this overall and I love that you mention that you put things on your vision board and made strategies to get to your goals! I would love to hear more about how you create strategies or paths to you goals ❤
I'm building my own empire! ❤ i love this so much. I'm currently going through it with my health but baby steps to reach my goals keep me going. I'm 32 and i started my small business journey in spring of 2024. Did my 1st craft fair, started making content even though i have no clue what i'm doing, and just wanting to make things happen. My health has thrown stones at me, family circumstances have come in and made things hard. But this year i'm making the moves. No matter how small because doing something is better than doing nothing and i want so much to be successful in this because it does set my soul on FIRE! You give me the motivation and the drive to want to do more but to understand that my health comes 1st. Thank you for the videos you make. You truly are an inspiration ❤
The quote 'The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life' should be attributed to William Morris, the brilliant artist and father of the arts and crafts movement. That a tea company is taking credit is unbelievably arrogant but also pretty typical of society right now.
1 hour vlog !! This is enough to make my day ❤❤❤. Thank you for posting. Can you make video about your business journey? Like what did you start doing first and stories like that 😊
Loveee! Thank you for sharing ❤ I’m am excited to see your craft room reset. Also, careful with the Mielle oil. There have been a lot of people reporting significant hair loss due to their use of Mielle.
I think you would be good at sewing tutorials. The steps to making a zip bag, for example. The teaching aspect, you would see well. Good luck with your goals. I am sure you will succeed. Thanks for sharing.
Wouldn't it be that by living in Europe, the delivery cost was so high, I would have bought a candle. Hopefully somewhere this year I'll have more budget or an alternative to buy one of your candles!
I wonder with business stuff how you manage to post video everyday° if you are only person shooting+ editing then it's exhausting, but if you only work behind this then share how you manage to do💌💞✨
I am building my own empire! RUclips channel, online store and market life. Goals to bring my husband home from work so we can have more family time while our kids are little ❤
I’m building my own empire 💫 Thanks for all the inspiring content and the community you have built 💕 Also… random - do you consider yourself a Millenial or Gen Z? I was born in 1995 and I think we are right on the cusp. Curious your thoughts on this 😅
