I WAS IN THE EXACT SAME POSITION. When you do it again its going to be so much stronger. You didn't fail your learning. Girl I went with no shame to the temp agency got a temp job and started using there resources (internet, printer) for my business you got this!
This is how you learn girl. We fall and make mistakes and that's absolutely ok. I just went through something similar at the start of this year and losing some things helped me to get a fresh start and get back on track. It sucked going thru it but...the lesson has been learned. This is a blessing in disguise. It probably dont feel like it right noe but it is and it will ALL work out. Take all the time you need to get YOU together! ♥️♥️
When you feel like everything is failing and going wrong, it means there is something bigger and better coming for you something you are now made stronger for and can appreciate more I’m going through a similar situation where all feels as if it’s failing before my eyes, keep your head up things get better this too shall pass 🥺❤️
Welcome to Entrepreneurship. This is what most won't share...only the "success" are shared. But the fact that you took that leap....You are successful! Keep following your heart...God will lead and provide...Love and hugs to you 🤗
You survived 2020 you don't know how strong you are 💖life is full of lessons 💛 " study to be approved"🙏 lessons learned makes you WISE💝🤓 Happy New year 🤸🌈🙏😷,🧡💙💜
I feel you boo. I just had a baby. I have multiple businesses and I’ve been on maternity leave without pay. I’ve been having to take my money from my businesses to pay my bills and take care of my little one! Don’t give up. We got this!! God will help us make it through. Don’t be hard on yourself. Be consistent and continue doing RUclips and selling your clothes.
You are a SUCCESS Jazz!! Your transparency is refreshingly rare. SALUTE to you in your honesty. You have big heart young Lady and you DID IT. There is no failure when we learn lessons. You took the leap and you did some things. You WILL be alright. Look at how blessed you are that you were able to do it with your parents having your back. Blessed and highly favored you are. Looking forward to your journey, don't stop pushing.....the best is yet to come!!
Queen so sorry you're feeling overwhelmed and discouraged. 1. Give yourself a few days to reassess your business priorities put it in writing, 2. Visit IRS.GOV get their contact number call or you can look up status of your stimulus. Call if need be to speak to someone to see how you can update and request a mailed check directly. 3. Research what all it takes for you to obtain your LLC how much etc. 4. You're all cried out which means you're mentally ready to tackle all of this. 5. Call all creditors starting with your auto finance if you have a payment that is and request for payment deferral for a few months, contact all other creditors and ask if they can make adjustments to either your finance rate or your monthly payment. I've personally done all of this at the beginning of the pandemic and there after all of my creditors worked with me in these instances. I hope this all helps you get traction and direction again. You will be fine everything tends to work itself out and God is always on time providing you with what you need and desire. Praying for you you have inspired me to start my channel. We all have to take chances that's the only way we'll force ourselves to fly. All luv Queen keep ya head up.
you got this! this will be a great testimony when everything comes full circle. there’s beauty in the journey. do what works best for you and continue making your dreams a reality! thanks for being transparent, sending you love and praying everything progresses in your favor. ♥️
Jasmine you are alright, everyone has to face losses at some point in life, we commend you for your transparency. It takes a very strong person to come on here and do what you did. Look at how strong you are I don't know many people who will come out and admit to their failures not even myself. Keep your head up. I promise you this too shall pass. Come on Jasmine just look ahead your future is bright. I only wish I had the courage you did, I talked myself out of entrepreneurship even to this day 😔.
Life is one long lesson, but the fact that you can reflect, accept, move forward and persevere is very commendable. Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable side of yourself. It’s one of the hardest things anyone can do but so many people are going to benefit from your honesty...you’re amazing Babygirl; just keep swimming. 🌹
Let me first say, I miss you so much! I’m glad you posted this update. I understand you have to do what’s best for you. Happy Early Birthday love ya long time!!!!!
Jazz, we are in the midst of a pandemic and these times are uncertain for everyone. I understand your passion to be an entrepreneur, but it's all about timing. I would advise that if your side hustle can't support your life then get a job.
Take a break, plan it out..... get a part time job and stack money for supplies, and business needs. While working , write your ideas down so you don’t lose your creativity.
I really appreciate your transparency Jasmine...I can only imagine how much this took out of you to post...I'm so proud of you! I can relate to some of what you've mentioned because since the pandemic started I've been furloughed from my job so I started a small business and it is ROUGH! It is rough being small and not having all the money and resources like established businesses...but it is all in His plan. I like how you said that we don't always understand what God is doing with our lives but listen when it works out it WORKS OUT...in whatever way that may be. Finding a job is not a bad idea at all and it is not giving up..it is realizing that it is something that you need to explore in order to better yourself and your business and that is wise af! I will lift you in prayer girl...be encouraged, continue to consult God, take some time and remember that "This too shall pass". Hailing from The Bahamas :)
Aww Jazz.. you’re doing well... trust me, everything will be okay.... it’s a process. I still work full time and been using my money to fund my passion... I’ve lost so much money but I’ll keep pushing. Keep your head up! You got this.
I completely understand. I quit my corporate job over a year ago to pursue a career in real estate because its what I love. Things did not go as planned and I end up breaking my lease on my home and me my kids had to move with my mom.. I felt I had failed myself and my kids. I continued to pursue real estate and things were still slow...I did what I had to do and sucked up my pride and went out and got another job to get things back going. Things got better and I was able to move back myself and kids back into our own place. Now I'm still working a regular job now but also my business part time. I'm using my full time job to finance my business and one day I'll work for myself for good. I say all of this to say sometimes we don't make the right decision based on impulse and good you don't have other responsibilities so I think this is a good time to take chances...we all fail, get back up and keep moving. Its not over, you'll get there..❤
Girl you winning already, you are further ahead than you think. If I may offer you some advice don’t take any more orders, finish what you have. Starbucks is hiring which will be perfect for you. You make the drinks and go home and they have good starting pay. All you need to do is Pivot. Pivot was my word for last year. Pivot and breathe. You got this, there are a lot of people pulling for you.
Sis!! There is absolutely nothing wrong with getting a job or putting a pause on your originalz to get your money up! Sometimes you have to go backwards to go forward. Getting a job, full time or part time, doesn’t mean you have failed. It means you’re being a responsible adult! Do what you have to do sis! We’ll be here when you get back. 💕
JAS PLEASEEEEEEEEE DONT GIVE UP !! YOU ARE ALMOST THERE !! Do not let the enemy stop you!! You are doing EVERYTHING YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO ! DIVINE TIMING ! Praying for you Jas, you inspire ALL OF US !! This is your TESTIMONY WE HAVE ALL BEEN BLESSED TO WITNESS WITH FRONT SECOND THIRD ROW SEATS ! Shoot I’ll take the nose bleeds section to see you keep winning !! You got this !! I love you Jas 💙💙💙💙💙💙 sending you so much love
I genuinely wish I could give you a hug❤️ It’s going to be okay, it sounds cliche but God will bring you through it and make a way. Stay Strong Jazz ❤️
I feel like this happened to be but more in a situation of when I moved out from my parents house. I struggled that whole year and was working two full time jobs and working full time to make ends meet. I did have an option to stay, but the environment was just not healthy for me.. But I pushed through and I am doing okay. You will get there Jazz!! You got this girl!
This too shall pass. This is only a test. Yes, it’s hard. You will succeed. You’ll have to get a job. It’s ok. Years later, oh the story that you’ll be able to tell. The start of Jazz Originalz
Hi Jazz , We don’t always need a plan. Sometimes we just need to breathe,trust,let go and see what happens. Success is not final,failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. You got this never give up !!!
You don't need a LLC to get a business loan/grants that the govt. is giving out right now. Nor do you need a LLC till you really start bringing in money. Just get a part time job and get back to the drawing board. Everything doesn't always go according to your plan. No time to feel sad. Turn that into drive to push harder. Also try uber eats/ doordash for some quick cash, and you can make your own schedule.
Dear the EIDL portal is not up as of yet for the grants, but should be available soon. The LLC is for benefit of Liability, and to be legally registered and you must pay taxes unless you are a non-profit. You are supposed to pay taxes on all income if you are a business. It is always best to hire an accountant after your business is established, that way you can avoid the possibility of auditing.
Hey Jazz! Good to see you. Do what ever you need to do and we are all here to cheer you on. It's not a set back.....it's a set up for your comeback! You got this!🎉
Hey Jazz. I feel like the target buyers for the style of clothing you create is a very limited. You also have it to where you and only you alone customize each jacket making the turnaround time super long. If you took the average cost of your products and divided by the average amount of time spent on a single product, how much are you making per hour? I know this is your dream, but you may want to go back to your business plan and maybe make some edits and revisions. I am 100% team Jazz and want you to succeed, but work smarter, not harder. What could you do to broaden your customer base while also keeping the integrity of your signature style? 💗
Have you tried writing the companies of the products that you use, to get a sponsorship or promo for the products. You also can sell jazz original merch using drop ship. Maybe get an at home part time where you can work on items while you’re working... don’t beat yourself up, you live and you learn babygirl.
I’m so happy you are wise enough to take a step back, look at it again, breathe and come back full force. You are definitely not the one to give up. Girl I can just see you doing it!!!!
Jazz. Just breath. BREATH. Listen honey. You are the same age as my daughter. Always always make a plan before you do something. Life always throws curve balls. Hold your head up. This is just TEMPORARY. REMEMBER YOU JUST DELAYED NOT DENIED. From a mother to another daughter. Happy birthday Jazz.
Happy Early Birthday Jazz🥳. Don’t be embarrassed 🤗. All things we experience in life are a lesson and as much as you feel you could have done things differently try to look at the positive things that came out of you quitting your job and stepping out on faith...all of this will be a part of your testimony one day. Don’t be discourage things will turn around I just know it. Praying that God provides you with guidance, strength and peace as you take the steps in doing whats rights for you. We will be here when you return...still rooting and cheering you on from the sidelines. Wishing you all the best for 2021 and beyond🥂. Keep your head up you got this! 💕
There's no right or wrong decisions in life. You make the decision and then try your best along the way. 2020 was tough for me and it looks like it was rough for you too. You made the jump and for what its worth your creations were awesome and I was so happy to see you killing it like I always knew you could. No matter what path you go down now really put thought into what's sustainable for you. You could get a full time job and do jackets here and there, you could get a part time and try to do jazz originals at half speed or you could try to do something quick to pick yourself back up and go back full speed but whichever route you go don't be afraid to change it if you think it may not be for you and don't shame yourself if you go a route you don't think is "risky" or "daring" enough. Im so proud of you Jazz i never would have thought you would have bit up the courage to make this move and while it hasn't gone the way you wanted, its given you an additional perspective in life that you can now move with. Take your time, learn from your mistakes, forgive yourself, love yourself and realize that not everything that goes wrong is always because of your actions but your natural limitations but now that you have seen what you're limits are don't be afraid to work with them. Im rooting for you Jazz.
Sending you a big sister hug! Dont be so hard on yourself. This was only a CHAPTER from the BOOK of LIFE! You know how many people never even take a chance on themselves! 2020 was all about theglass being half empty or half full. Change your prospective. A blessing is coming your way with 2 names on it! Smile
Keep pushing and make a plan. Use your car to give rides to people outside of Uber and Lyft. Clean houses or babysit or something or even host a class Regarding the bags or something and charge for attendance
I first want to thank you for coming to your platform and being so real about your current life status. Do what you have to do. It's a blessing that you learned early what will work and what will not. That's what life is, a learning lesson. I see you as a resilient young woman, and I feel that you will come through this situation on top!!! Take all the time you need. My prayers are with you. Just continue to remember the blessings in your life (supportive family, a home, food, talent, etc.), cause things could always be MUCH worse. You got this Jazz!!!! I am excited to see your come up!!!
Jazz i GREATLY understand what you are going through.. I LOVE watching your vlogs and i pray you don't continue to think that you're being repetitive everytime you do a video. Bc you're very entertaining, and denim jackets is what you love to do... And I love seeing your creativity.. I was waiting for an upload from you for the last 3 wks.. As far as your finances, you have to know that there are ppl in worst situations.. I know it sounds so cliche, but its the truth. I have to keep reminding myself that as well. Your situation looks good compared to mines. Trust me when I say this. I would tell you my situation but I don't want the whole youtube to know my situation, I will tell you this tho; I just loss my father to Covid 2 wks ago.. The day before his 71st bday, and im so torn bc I've been around my dad everyday, all of my life, and now he's no longer here. I'm so hurt Jazz, and I miss him so much, but The Lord is what's keeping me sane, as well as me knowing that I will definitely see him again someday.. I wouldn't wish this feeling on absolutely NO ONE! Ugh I'm getting emotional thinking about it... But anywho, I love being on youtube, and I've seen so many videos, and documentaries of ppl who has actually lost everything they own bc of this pandemic, bc they could not keep their jobs. There are so many families that has to make their cars their homes now. And they don't know what they're going to do. A lot of them has children, and has elderly parents that they have to take care of, but they don't have a place to go. I'm just saying this bc I want you to know how blessed you are even though you may not feel it right now. God gives His greatest battles to His toughest soldiers, to see if they'll remain faithful to Him. So your struggle isn't just for nothing, its a test. So remember Jazz, to remain dedicated, and faithful to our Heavenly Father... Keep praying and praying, even when you're to down to pray. Troubles will NOT last always. Gods light will shine upon you! I will definitely pray for you and your situation! You're beautiful and blessed.. Happy early Birthday Jazz!
READ YOUR BIBLE. IT'S not about you IT'S about how obedience you are to God he has been waiting on you for 27 years. Get your life in order with the Lord this year build a better relationship with him. He is what is missing in your life. Change the way you speak to yourself. Words are very powerful. Every time you say something negative the devil makes it happen. Get on your knees and cry out to the Lord and tell him just how you feel. You are very special to God he loves you. The Bible says we don't have because we don't ask. If you don't change how you do things you are going to stay in the same position in life. And remember Seek the Kingdom of God 1st and all things will come to you. Stop trying to carry this burden on your own and give it to God I mean really give it to him. And every time you start to think about it thank God for his grace and mercy in your life. Just start thanking and don't stop.
Jaz have you thought about going harder on RUclips shooting for brand deals etc before going back to a regular 9-5. ? I know its hard but it will all be worth it.
Jasmine, redundancies are fine. I’m never bored watching you. You have a goal and we get to see you make progress and the frustrations that come along. Struggling is part of the process. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Prayers for you.
You got this !!! Trust and believe god gives his toughest battles to his strongest shoulders ... I promise it might seem like the storm want ever come to an end but best to believe that rainbow coming and with a pot full of blessings JUST FOR YOU . So stop thinking negative do you what you gotta do and MOSTLY DON’T GIVE UP... because that’s what the devil hoping on . Continue standing 10 and being patient and watch how the lord about to repay you . Sending you hugs and kisses 💪🏾❤️🤗😘
Jasmine I wanted to say to you STAY THE COURSE!!! I have two businesses and that is why I stressed to you the importance of an LLC. I have a 501c3 non profit and a LLC and it has not been easy. I found out sometimes you may have to work to fund your dreams, there is nothing wrong with that. Sometimes in life we make decisions based upon others opinions or praises, not thinking about the big picture, but we all live and learn. I am so glad you have decided to get a job, which I wanted to say a long time ago, but I did not want to seem as though I was being negative, but real. Many blessings and I will be praying for you my Beloved. God has a plan for your life! Ms. Carolyn from N.C.#STAYTHECOURSE!!
Jasmine THIS TOO SHALL PASS!!!. U STARTED YOUR BUSINESS BOO IT COMES WITH HIGHS AND LOWS.. IF U STOP VLOGGING OR DOING CONTENT THAT STOPS A STREAM OF INCOME... GURRRRRRL YOUR PPL GONNA WATCH U NO MATTER WHAT DONT STOP N DONT GIVE UP BOO!! U got this everyone goes threw but it's how u come out of it... u stressed now but again THIS TOO SHALL PASS 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Hey Jazz, maybe go back to work and build back up, its ok to start over. Write out everything you want to do and go from there. Your business will always be there..YOU ARE STRONG 💪, I WILL BE KEEPING YOU IN MY PRAYERS 🙏
My birthday is 1/23 & my daughter's is 1/25. Don't be so hard on yourself. You wanted this fight for the ultimate prize! Continue to fight! Your time is coming!
I think your use to being on 🔝 of things and entrepreneurship is a roller 🎢 coaster ride that working is not. You got this however you choose to do things. Sending you love and light ❤️
You hit it on the nail girl, I haven't not been on the "top" before, I usually can figure things or wiggle myself out of tough situation but this one right here has been a challenge.
Girl I think we ALL can relate to what she's going through.. Especially now, during this unexpected pandemic... So many ppl are struggling now, probably more than ever. Her situation looks better than mines.. Not only am I having financial issues, I'm grieving the loss of my father, he just passed away on Jan.4th. His birthday was Jan 5th, so he died 1 day before his 71st birthday. I was around my dad everyday my entire life, and for him to pass away unexpectedly; it's a certain type of pain that no one will EVER understand, unless they've actually been through it.. a piece of my heart is gone. I miss him so much, but I give God ALL the praise and ALL the glory, He's the reason I can make through all of this.. He has really comforted me during this hard time, and I'm extremely thankful for Him. And when it's my time to transition, I know that I'll see my dad again.. So it's ppl in this world that's in a much worse situation than she is..
This very thing has happened to so many of us. We are ready to start are own business and it's taking longer to bring in a cash flow to sustain our necessities. Personally, I am trying to go into my own business, but I got to bring in a good consistent cash flow first. But trust, if my businesses had some stability I would leave my job immediately. I remind myself too, everything will all make sense in the end. You are such a Braveheart to be able to get back out there. Much love, Jasmine. Thank you for this. I know what you mean happened to me.
I do hope things will get better for u. Im keeping u in my thoughts and prayers. Things will get better. U know the saying. Things get worse before they get better. So that being said. U may be at ur worse at this point. So after this.... jazz.... everything will be on the up and up. U got this. Stay strong.
Girl all Iam hearing excuses cause of a hint of failing, what M'i gona do fell sorry for you then whats the point of sticking with you all this time. Look jazz confront it and move on learn from it, it does make you a better individual. Accept your failures just like your wins get up and dust yourself off. you got something worth buying into and keep it going its educational to watch you on your journey of how you do things as a business woman, boss of your self, how you spend the money for supplies, handling your own money, where to get the proper materials etc. there is so much to learn in this life yea give up or take a break before you burn yourself out instead of would've, could've or wishing for things to turn out right. It looks like you got distracted from your point of view or visual focus of making your business work. come on now you can do it mean you already jump what you either free fall all the way or grab a ledge to stop you from falling. go the rest of the way or struggle to climb back up cause the next jump ...........you do it or someone you know will either kick you off or push gently. Im saying keep going at what you believe in. you just might land on your feet.
I wouldn't say I'm making excuses I would say I'm doing the same thing and expecting different results. What I'm coming to realize is entrepreneurship makes you uncomfortable to open yourself up in ways you didn't imagine. Like trying and testing out new ventures that you didn't think you would've have done before. It's about being comfortable in the uncomfortableness that entrepreneurship tends to put you in and being okay with the uncertainty. I'm not sure if you watch MJ Harris but he's spoken about his start and how he manage to get himself through a tough patch. He talks about having a limited perspective and how he had to get creative in creating different revenues of income for himself. This video is meant to be taken as my rough patch and bringing you all on the journey with me. I am in no way, shape or form giving up, I never will because I know JazzOriginalz is going to be huge! I am claim it honey! However I'm taking a step back and silencing the noise to realign with myself and to pull the hustler out me. I know I can do this but I have to be real with myself because the only person who can take me out of this situation is me and getting a job is not me giving up and is not going to change the course, I'm just switching lanes.
Don’t stress. You’re in control. If you need to get a job then do so. But you control how many orders come in. You can definitely pause and get things together and start again. Pay what you can as you can. You’re doing amazing. We gotta learn these things eventually. Better now than later.
You got this! You just need to buckle down and get a job. Timing is everything and unfortunately during this pandemic, small businesses and even large businesses are suffering. You can still do your business but just get a job on the side.
"All things work together for good" . Keep learning from the experience. Cry if you have to, then get your praise on because He hears your prayers and sees those tears and He working it out. Even if you have to get that part time job.
Consider doing voiceovers or put music over hair videos and getting ready videos just random videos. Your subscribers will support you. Or just look for something that will fit your schedule. Praying for you, because I really understand. Trust the process...🙏🏽❤
Hey Jazz God has a plan for you. Trust his promise. Every successful business had it's downfalls. But you won't stay there. Never give up on your dream you will make it Jazz. I will be praying for you and your family. Being a Independent woman is hard. I'm wishing you a very happy birthday. Keep your head up. And guess what crying is healing to let it out. 🤗💎🙏🏽❤️
A lot of entrepreneurs I listen on podcast also state the same thing about fasting, especially in tough times something i'm afraid to do but maybe at this point it's necessary and my car note is $245.
Praying for you jazz! Have you considered driving for Uber or Lyft? I live in philly and do both full time and it might work for you since you can work on your time.
When did you file your tax return? If it’s been over 3 months, I would suggest contacting the IRS. There could be fraud involved, and you’ll want to ensure that no one else has gotten your money. As for your stimulus check, it won’t help you now, but you can can get it through this year’s tax return. If you’re able, take some time to get your tax docs together now, so you can file ASAP (the earliest date that returns will be accepted this year is Feb 12th).
I filed my return back in March 2020 but it was a paper return and the IRS said it would take time and trust when Feb 12th comes I'll be one of the first!
Praying for the turn around and your stimulus (still waiting on one for me)🙏💞 soooo wish I could help (struggling author over here so I know lol). Maybe there is a grant or someone that can help with small business/entrepreneur support in your area?
Hi strong one I want you to check ✔ this young lady music 🎶 out it.will....make that black girl 👧 know black woman can doing.....she from Atlanta Ga. Jailen Josey..Spotify ✔ check music please
And I know you miss having a life you still young Jazz you still have to have a life. It's like you got to crawl before you walk so you have to take baby steps when you're trying to Be Your Own Boss. But I know you miss some things about your job and there's some things that you don't miss about your job but I know there's some people you miss seeing and talking to you and being around because even though you're trying to Be Your Own Boss you still have to have some type of life because that also helps with your mentality to be able to be around others and to be able to be out and be invited to things you going to be okay baby.
I do miss social time, but I understand that we are in a pandemic so having a social life isn't as big as of concern of mine as my health is. As weird as it sounds I miss the challenge of work and having someone to answer to. I miss the hustle and bustle of work.
I Feel you, I feel like I’m being punished too idk what it is. My bank account is closed because it’s been in the negative. I don’t have help. I can’t find a job. I can’t get my license because I don’t have a way to the place. I just been crying everyday, every night. I feel depressed I just wanna give up and not be here anymore.
You will always be able to say you tried, you can do both work and work your business during your time off. I sent you a Christmas card, hope it found its way to you. When u feel down there is no place to go but up. 🤗
U are such an inspiration don't give up keep on grinding 😍😍😍😍
You've got this sis! Thank you for your transparency. You hard work an amazing talent will definitely pay off soon 🖤🖤🖤
You're resilient and on your way out of this land of lack!!! God bless you for sharing your experience to help others!!!🙏🏽
Jasmine, stay strong. I miss you!
Sorry Jazz I'm 2 Days Late Happy Happy Birthday and I pray that you will see many many more Birthdays and Blessings !! 🎈🎂🎉
Happy belated birthday !!
Jazz you got this!!!!
YOU ARE A BOSS‼️ Don’t let the devil try to talk you out of it. Love you girl 💕💕💕
I WAS IN THE EXACT SAME POSITION. When you do it again its going to be so much stronger. You didn't fail your learning. Girl I went with no shame to the temp agency got a temp job and started using there resources (internet, printer) for my business you got this!
This is how you learn girl. We fall and make mistakes and that's absolutely ok. I just went through something similar at the start of this year and losing some things helped me to get a fresh start and get back on track. It sucked going thru it but...the lesson has been learned. This is a blessing in disguise. It probably dont feel like it right noe but it is and it will ALL work out. Take all the time you need to get YOU together! ♥️♥️
When you feel like everything is failing and going wrong, it means there is something bigger and better coming for you something you are now made stronger for and can appreciate more I’m going through a similar situation where all feels as if it’s failing before my eyes, keep your head up things get better this too shall pass 🥺❤️
Welcome to Entrepreneurship. This is what most won't share...only the "success" are shared. But the fact that you took that leap....You are successful! Keep following your heart...God will lead and provide...Love and hugs to you 🤗
Growing pains girl; You got this I can’t wait to see you win!!!!! Happy Birthday 🥳💕
You survived 2020 you don't know how strong you are 💖life is full of lessons 💛 " study to be approved"🙏 lessons learned makes you WISE💝🤓 Happy New year 🤸🌈🙏😷,🧡💙💜
I feel you boo. I just had a baby. I have multiple businesses and I’ve been on maternity leave without pay. I’ve been having to take my money from my businesses to pay my bills and take care of my little one! Don’t give up. We got this!! God will help us make it through. Don’t be hard on yourself. Be consistent and continue doing RUclips and selling your clothes.
You are a SUCCESS Jazz!! Your transparency is refreshingly rare. SALUTE to you in your honesty. You have big heart young Lady and you DID IT. There is no failure when we learn lessons. You took the leap and you did some things. You WILL be alright. Look at how blessed you are that you were able to do it with your parents having your back. Blessed and highly favored you are. Looking forward to your journey, don't stop pushing.....the best is yet to come!!
Happy NewYears and happy birthday. You will be okay Jazz ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you!
Queen so sorry you're feeling overwhelmed and discouraged. 1. Give yourself a few days to reassess your business priorities put it in writing, 2. Visit IRS.GOV get their contact number call or you can look up status of your stimulus. Call if need be to speak to someone to see how you can update and request a mailed check directly. 3. Research what all it takes for you to obtain your LLC how much etc. 4. You're all cried out which means you're mentally ready to tackle all of this. 5. Call all creditors starting with your auto finance if you have a payment that is and request for payment deferral for a few months, contact all other creditors and ask if they can make adjustments to either your finance rate or your monthly payment. I've personally done all of this at the beginning of the pandemic and there after all of my creditors worked with me in these instances. I hope this all helps you get traction and direction again.

Diamonds form under pressure 💙
Jasmine you are alright, everyone has to face losses at some point in life, we commend you for your transparency. It takes a very strong person to come on here and do what you did. Look at how strong you are I don't know many people who will come out and admit to their failures not even myself. Keep your head up. I promise you this too shall pass. Come on Jasmine just look ahead your future is bright. I only wish I had the courage you did, I talked myself out of entrepreneurship even to this day 😔.
You’ll get through this jazz❤️ sending you virtual love and positivity!
Thank you so much ❤️
Life is one long lesson, but the fact that you can reflect, accept, move forward and persevere is very commendable. Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable side of yourself. It’s one of the hardest things anyone can do but so many people are going to benefit from your honesty...you’re amazing Babygirl; just keep swimming. 🌹
Thank you, I plan to 😊
Let me first say, I miss you so much! I’m glad you posted this update. I understand you have to do what’s best for you. Happy Early Birthday love ya long time!!!!!
Thank you for the early birthday wishes ❤️
Jazz, we are in the midst of a pandemic and these times are uncertain for everyone. I understand your passion to be an entrepreneur, but it's all about timing. I would advise that if your side hustle can't support your life then get a job.
I agree with you 100%. It’s time to buckle down and handle my business
Take a break, plan it out..... get a part time job and stack money for supplies, and business needs. While working , write your ideas down so you don’t lose your creativity.
Keep your head up, Jazz! You will be fine. So proud of you taking that leap. We live and we learn. See you when you return. ❣️💞❤️
Happy Birthday... Take care of you and do what you need to do.....
I really appreciate your transparency Jasmine...I can only imagine how much this took out of you to post...I'm so proud of you! I can relate to some of what you've mentioned because since the pandemic started I've been furloughed from my job so I started a small business and it is ROUGH! It is rough being small and not having all the money and resources like established businesses...but it is all in His plan. I like how you said that we don't always understand what God is doing with our lives but listen when it works out it WORKS OUT...in whatever way that may be. Finding a job is not a bad idea at all and it is not giving up..it is realizing that it is something that you need to explore in order to better yourself and your business and that is wise af! I will lift you in prayer girl...be encouraged, continue to consult God, take some time and remember that "This too shall pass". Hailing from The Bahamas :)
Aww Jazz.. you’re doing well... trust me, everything will be okay.... it’s a process. I still work full time and been using my money to fund my passion... I’ve lost so much money but I’ll keep pushing. Keep your head up! You got this.
I completely understand. I quit my corporate job over a year ago to pursue a career in real estate because its what I love. Things did not go as planned and I end up breaking my lease on my home and me my kids had to move with my mom.. I felt I had failed myself and my kids. I continued to pursue real estate and things were still slow...I did what I had to do and sucked up my pride and went out and got another job to get things back going. Things got better and I was able to move back myself and kids back into our own place. Now I'm still working a regular job now but also my business part time. I'm using my full time job to finance my business and one day I'll work for myself for good. I say all of this to say sometimes we don't make the right decision based on impulse and good you don't have other responsibilities so I think this is a good time to take chances...we all fail, get back up and keep moving. Its not over, you'll get there..❤
Girl you winning already, you are further ahead than you think. If I may offer you some advice don’t take any more orders, finish what you have. Starbucks is hiring which will be perfect for you. You make the drinks and go home and they have good starting pay. All you need to do is Pivot. Pivot was my word for last year. Pivot and breathe. You got this, there are a lot of people pulling for you.
I like that, pivot & yes girl I need to take my butt to Dunkin’ since I’m already always there lol
Have you tried to make lil pieces like shirts, socks ,hats ,you are very talented and this shall pass ❤️💪🏾😘
Sis!! There is absolutely nothing wrong with getting a job or putting a pause on your originalz to get your money up! Sometimes you have to go backwards to go forward. Getting a job, full time or part time, doesn’t mean you have failed. It means you’re being a responsible adult! Do what you have to do sis! We’ll be here when you get back. 💕
I prayed for you dear...you are going to make it.
JAS PLEASEEEEEEEEE DONT GIVE UP !! YOU ARE ALMOST THERE !! Do not let the enemy stop you!! You are doing EVERYTHING YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO ! DIVINE TIMING ! Praying for you Jas, you inspire ALL OF US !! This is your TESTIMONY WE HAVE ALL BEEN BLESSED TO WITNESS WITH FRONT SECOND THIRD ROW SEATS ! Shoot I’ll take the nose bleeds section to see you keep winning !! You got this !! I love you Jas 💙💙💙💙💙💙 sending you so much love
I genuinely wish I could give you a hug❤️ It’s going to be okay, it sounds cliche but God will bring you through it and make a way. Stay Strong Jazz ❤️
I feel like this happened to be but more in a situation of when I moved out from my parents house. I struggled that whole year and was working two full time jobs and working full time to make ends meet. I did have an option to stay, but the environment was just not healthy for me.. But I pushed through and I am doing okay. You will get there Jazz!! You got this girl!
This too shall pass. This is only a test. Yes, it’s hard. You will succeed. You’ll have to get a job. It’s ok. Years later, oh the story that you’ll be able to tell. The start of Jazz Originalz
Hi Jazz , We don’t always need a plan. Sometimes we just need to breathe,trust,let go and see what happens. Success is not final,failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. You got this never give up !!!
You don't need a LLC to get a business loan/grants that the govt. is giving out right now. Nor do you need a LLC till you really start bringing in money. Just get a part time job and get back to the drawing board. Everything doesn't always go according to your plan. No time to feel sad. Turn that into drive to push harder. Also try uber eats/ doordash for some quick cash, and you can make your own schedule.
Dear the EIDL portal is not up as of yet for the grants, but should be available soon. The LLC is for benefit of Liability, and to be legally registered and you must pay taxes unless you are a non-profit. You are supposed to pay taxes on all income if you are a business. It is always best to hire an accountant after your business is established, that way you can avoid the possibility of auditing.
Jazz You got this with the grace of God.
Hey Jazz! Good to see you. Do what ever you need to do and we are all here to cheer you on. It's not a set back.....it's a set up for your comeback! You got this!🎉
Hey Jazz. I feel like the target buyers for the style of clothing you create is a very limited. You also have it to where you and only you alone customize each jacket making the turnaround time super long. If you took the average cost of your products and divided by the average amount of time spent on a single product, how much are you making per hour? I know this is your dream, but you may want to go back to your business plan and maybe make some edits and revisions. I am 100% team Jazz and want you to succeed, but work smarter, not harder. What could you do to broaden your customer base while also keeping the integrity of your signature style? 💗
Have you tried writing the companies of the products that you use, to get a sponsorship or promo for the products. You also can sell jazz original merch using drop ship. Maybe get an at home part time where you can work on items while you’re working... don’t beat yourself up, you live and you learn babygirl.
Great advice
Please don’t give up!!!! Keep going! You are so talented. I believe in you. Also your skin is looking great ❤️
I’m so happy you are wise enough to take a step back, look at it again, breathe and come back full force. You are definitely not the one to give up. Girl I can just see you doing it!!!!
Jazz. Just breath. BREATH. Listen honey. You are the same age as my daughter. Always always make a plan before you do something. Life always throws curve balls. Hold your head up. This is just TEMPORARY. REMEMBER YOU JUST DELAYED NOT DENIED. From a mother to another daughter. Happy birthday Jazz.
Happy Early Birthday Jazz🥳.
Don’t be embarrassed 🤗. All things we experience in life are a lesson and as much as you feel you could have done things differently try to look at the positive things that came out of you quitting your job and stepping out on faith...all of this will be a part of your testimony one day.
Don’t be discourage things will turn around I just know it. Praying that God provides you with guidance, strength and peace as you take the steps in doing whats rights for you.
We will be here when you return...still rooting and cheering you on from the sidelines. Wishing you all the best for 2021 and beyond🥂.
Keep your head up you got this! 💕
There's no right or wrong decisions in life. You make the decision and then try your best along the way. 2020 was tough for me and it looks like it was rough for you too. You made the jump and for what its worth your creations were awesome and I was so happy to see you killing it like I always knew you could. No matter what path you go down now really put thought into what's sustainable for you. You could get a full time job and do jackets here and there, you could get a part time and try to do jazz originals at half speed or you could try to do something quick to pick yourself back up and go back full speed but whichever route you go don't be afraid to change it if you think it may not be for you and don't shame yourself if you go a route you don't think is "risky" or "daring" enough. Im so proud of you Jazz i never would have thought you would have bit up the courage to make this move and while it hasn't gone the way you wanted, its given you an additional perspective in life that you can now move with. Take your time, learn from your mistakes, forgive yourself, love yourself and realize that not everything that goes wrong is always because of your actions but your natural limitations but now that you have seen what you're limits are don't be afraid to work with them. Im rooting for you Jazz.
Happy Birthday! Wishing you the best!
Sending you a big sister hug! Dont be so hard on yourself. This was only a CHAPTER from the BOOK of LIFE! You know how many people never even take a chance on themselves! 2020 was all about theglass being half empty or half full. Change your prospective. A blessing is coming your way with 2 names on it! Smile
Keep pushing and make a plan. Use your car to give rides to people outside of Uber and Lyft. Clean houses or babysit or something or even host a class Regarding the bags or something and charge for attendance
I first want to thank you for coming to your platform and being so real about your current life status. Do what you have to do. It's a blessing that you learned early what will work and what will not. That's what life is, a learning lesson. I see you as a resilient young woman, and I feel that you will come through this situation on top!!! Take all the time you need. My prayers are with you. Just continue to remember the blessings in your life (supportive family, a home, food, talent, etc.), cause things could always be MUCH worse. You got this Jazz!!!! I am excited to see your come up!!!
Jazz i GREATLY understand what you are going through.. I LOVE watching your vlogs and i pray you don't continue to think that you're being repetitive everytime you do a video. Bc you're very entertaining, and denim jackets is what you love to do... And I love seeing your creativity.. I was waiting for an upload from you for the last 3 wks.. As far as your finances, you have to know that there are ppl in worst situations.. I know it sounds so cliche, but its the truth. I have to keep reminding myself that as well. Your situation looks good compared to mines. Trust me when I say this. I would tell you my situation but I don't want the whole youtube to know my situation, I will tell you this tho; I just loss my father to Covid 2 wks ago.. The day before his 71st bday, and im so torn bc I've been around my dad everyday, all of my life, and now he's no longer here. I'm so hurt Jazz, and I miss him so much, but The Lord is what's keeping me sane, as well as me knowing that I will definitely see him again someday.. I wouldn't wish this feeling on absolutely NO ONE! Ugh I'm getting emotional thinking about it... But anywho, I love being on youtube, and I've seen so many videos, and documentaries of ppl who has actually lost everything they own bc of this pandemic, bc they could not keep their jobs. There are so many families that has to make their cars their homes now. And they don't know what they're going to do. A lot of them has children, and has elderly parents that they have to take care of, but they don't have a place to go. I'm just saying this bc I want you to know how blessed you are even though you may not feel it right now. God gives His greatest battles to His toughest soldiers, to see if they'll remain faithful to Him. So your struggle isn't just for nothing, its a test. So remember Jazz, to remain dedicated, and faithful to our Heavenly Father... Keep praying and praying, even when you're to down to pray. Troubles will NOT last always. Gods light will shine upon you! I will definitely pray for you and your situation! You're beautiful and blessed.. Happy early Birthday Jazz!
Sending you love and a hug. You got this and you’re not alone.
READ YOUR BIBLE.
IT'S not about you IT'S about how obedience you are to God he has been waiting on you for 27 years. Get your life in order with the Lord this year build a better relationship with him. He is what is missing in your life.
Change the way you speak to yourself.
Words are very powerful. Every time you say something negative the devil makes it happen. Get on your knees and cry out to the Lord and tell him just how you feel. You are very special to God he loves you. The Bible says we don't have because we don't ask.
If you don't change how you do things you are going to stay in the same position in life. And remember Seek the Kingdom of God 1st and all things will come to you.
Stop trying to carry this burden on your own and give it to God I mean really give it to him. And every time you start to think about it thank God for his grace and mercy in your life. Just start thanking and don't stop.
Jaz have you thought about going harder on RUclips shooting for brand deals etc before going back to a regular 9-5. ? I know its hard but it will all be worth it.
I have thought about it, just never took myself serious enough to go for it.
@@eclecticnistajr girl do it! You have 50k of us already at your finger tips you got this.
Keep your head up Jazz
Thank you!
Jasmine, redundancies are fine. I’m never bored watching you. You have a goal and we get to see you make progress and the frustrations that come along. Struggling is part of the process. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Prayers for you.
You got this !!! Trust and believe god gives his toughest battles to his strongest shoulders ... I promise it might seem like the storm want ever come to an end but best to believe that rainbow coming and with a pot full of blessings JUST FOR YOU . So stop thinking negative do you what you gotta do and MOSTLY DON’T GIVE UP... because that’s what the devil hoping on . Continue standing 10 and being patient and watch how the lord about to repay you . Sending you hugs and kisses 💪🏾❤️🤗😘
God is with you. I can't wait to see your dreads.
Amen, amen, amen!! I can’t wait too! Jada is so excited about doing them lol 💙💚
@@eclecticnistajr Can she show us the process?
Jasmine I wanted to say to you STAY THE COURSE!!! I have two businesses and that is why I stressed to you the importance of an LLC. I have a 501c3 non profit and a LLC and it has not been easy. I found out sometimes you may have to work to fund your dreams, there is nothing wrong with that. Sometimes in life we make decisions based upon others opinions or praises, not thinking about the big picture, but we all live and learn. I am so glad you have decided to get a job, which I wanted to say a long time ago, but I did not want to seem as though I was being negative, but real. Many blessings and I will be praying for you my Beloved. God has a plan for your life! Ms. Carolyn from N.C.#STAYTHECOURSE!!
Jasmine THIS TOO SHALL PASS!!!. U STARTED YOUR BUSINESS BOO IT COMES WITH HIGHS AND LOWS.. IF U STOP VLOGGING OR DOING CONTENT THAT STOPS A STREAM OF INCOME... GURRRRRRL YOUR PPL GONNA WATCH U NO MATTER WHAT DONT STOP N DONT GIVE UP BOO!! U got this everyone goes threw but it's how u come out of it... u stressed now but again THIS TOO SHALL PASS 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Hey Jazz, maybe go back to work and build back up, its ok to start over. Write out everything you want to do and go from there. Your business will always be there..YOU ARE STRONG 💪, I WILL BE KEEPING YOU IN MY PRAYERS 🙏
Praying for better days Jazz sending hugs love n more your way love u keep your head up 🥰🥰🥰
My birthday is 1/23 & my daughter's is 1/25. Don't be so hard on yourself. You wanted this fight for the ultimate prize! Continue to fight! Your time is coming!
I think your use to being on 🔝 of things and entrepreneurship is a roller 🎢 coaster ride that working is not. You got this however you choose to do things. Sending you love and light ❤️
You hit it on the nail girl, I haven't not been on the "top" before, I usually can figure things or wiggle myself out of tough situation but this one right here has been a challenge.
You’re not the only one going thru this trust me you’re not. I’m going through the same.😔
Girl I think we ALL can relate to what she's going through.. Especially now, during this unexpected pandemic... So many ppl are struggling now, probably more than ever. Her situation looks better than mines.. Not only am I having financial issues, I'm grieving the loss of my father, he just passed away on Jan.4th. His birthday was Jan 5th, so he died 1 day before his 71st birthday. I was around my dad everyday my entire life, and for him to pass away unexpectedly; it's a certain type of pain that no one will EVER understand, unless they've actually been through it.. a piece of my heart is gone. I miss him so much, but I give God ALL the praise and ALL the glory, He's the reason I can make through all of this.. He has really comforted me during this hard time, and I'm extremely thankful for Him. And when it's my time to transition, I know that I'll see my dad again.. So it's ppl in this world that's in a much worse situation than she is..
It's going to get better
Amen 🙏🏾
This very thing has happened to so many of us. We are ready to start are own business and it's taking longer to bring in a cash flow to sustain our necessities. Personally, I am trying to go into my own business, but I got to bring in a good consistent cash flow first. But trust, if my businesses had some stability I would leave my job immediately. I remind myself too, everything will all make sense in the end. You are such a Braveheart to be able to get back out there. Much love, Jasmine. Thank you for this. I know what you mean happened to me.
I do hope things will get better for u. Im keeping u in my thoughts and prayers. Things will get better. U know the saying. Things get worse before they get better. So that being said. U may be at ur worse at this point. So after this.... jazz.... everything will be on the up and up. U got this. Stay strong.
Sending you love 💜💜💜💜
Thank you ❤️
Happy birthday 🎊🎉🎂
Girl all Iam hearing excuses cause of a hint of failing, what M'i gona do fell sorry for you then whats the point of sticking with you all this time.
Look jazz confront it and move on learn from it, it does make you a better individual.
Accept your failures just like your wins get up and dust yourself off. you got something worth buying into and keep it going its educational to watch you on your journey of how you do things as a business woman, boss of your self, how you spend the money for supplies, handling your own money, where to get the proper materials etc.
there is so much to learn in this life yea give up or take a break before you burn yourself out instead of would've, could've or wishing for things to turn out right.
It looks like you got distracted from your point of view or visual focus of making your business work.
come on now you can do it mean you already jump what you either free fall all the way or grab a ledge to stop you from falling.
go the rest of the way or struggle to climb back up cause the next jump ...........you do it or someone you know will either kick you off or push gently.
Im saying keep going at what you believe in. you just might land on your feet.
I wouldn't say I'm making excuses I would say I'm doing the same thing and expecting different results. What I'm coming to realize is entrepreneurship makes you uncomfortable to open yourself up in ways you didn't imagine. Like trying and testing out new ventures that you didn't think you would've have done before. It's about being comfortable in the uncomfortableness that entrepreneurship tends to put you in and being okay with the uncertainty.
I'm not sure if you watch MJ Harris but he's spoken about his start and how he manage to get himself through a tough patch. He talks about having a limited perspective and how he had to get creative in creating different revenues of income for himself.
This video is meant to be taken as my rough patch and bringing you all on the journey with me. I am in no way, shape or form giving up, I never will because I know JazzOriginalz is going to be huge! I am claim it honey! However I'm taking a step back and silencing the noise to realign with myself and to pull the hustler out me. I know I can do this but I have to be real with myself because the only person who can take me out of this situation is me and getting a job is not me giving up and is not going to change the course, I'm just switching lanes.
Instacart
Don’t stress. You’re in control. If you need to get a job then do so. But you control how many orders come in. You can definitely pause and get things together and start again. Pay what you can as you can. You’re doing amazing. We gotta learn these things eventually. Better now than later.
You got this! You just need to buckle down and get a job. Timing is everything and unfortunately during this pandemic, small businesses and even large businesses are suffering. You can still do your business but just get a job on the side.
Praying everything will work out for you.. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Just remain to stay strong love
"All things work together for good" . Keep learning from the experience. Cry if you have to, then get your praise on because He hears your prayers and sees those tears and He working it out. Even if you have to get that part time job.
Will you ever go back to your faded hairstyle
Yes I plan to, I miss it but for now I'm just having fun with my length
Consider doing voiceovers or put music over hair videos and getting ready videos just random videos. Your subscribers will support you. Or just look for something that will fit your schedule. Praying for you, because I really understand. Trust the process...🙏🏽❤
Praying for you, 😍
Thank you 🙏🏽
Why dont you go back to Primark, you were so happy when yo worked there
Girl I'm not going back to Primark, I miss the job but not enough to want to reapply
Praying for you 🙏🏽
This is just a test you have a blessings coming for you trust me don't give up awwll you got this 👍 ❤
Hey Jazz God has a plan for you. Trust his promise. Every successful business had it's downfalls. But you won't stay there. Never give up on your dream you will make it Jazz. I will be praying for you and your family. Being a Independent woman is hard. I'm wishing you a very happy birthday. Keep your head up. And guess what crying is healing to let it out. 🤗💎🙏🏽❤️
GOD GOT YOU ON HIS TIME .ITS Coming
you never see your full profit the first years of business
Look into fasting Jazz it is really beneficial and helpful , GOD is the GOD OF MIRACLES ✨✨❤️❤️ and how much is your carnote????
A lot of entrepreneurs I listen on podcast also state the same thing about fasting, especially in tough times something i'm afraid to do but maybe at this point it's necessary and my car note is $245.
Praying for you jazz! Have you considered driving for Uber or Lyft? I live in philly and do both full time and it might work for you since you can work on your time.
When did you file your tax return? If it’s been over 3 months, I would suggest contacting the IRS. There could be fraud involved, and you’ll want to ensure that no one else has gotten your money. As for your stimulus check, it won’t help you now, but you can can get it through this year’s tax return. If you’re able, take some time to get your tax docs together now, so you can file ASAP (the earliest date that returns will be accepted this year is Feb 12th).
I filed my return back in March 2020 but it was a paper return and the IRS said it would take time and trust when Feb 12th comes I'll be one of the first!
Praying for the turn around and your stimulus (still waiting on one for me)🙏💞 soooo wish I could help (struggling author over here so I know lol). Maybe there is a grant or someone that can help with small business/entrepreneur support in your area?
Didn't give up this is your dream...this is the devil 🤘 😈 that get in your spirit but your break through is coming .. S coming it's coming
Hi strong one I want you to check ✔ this young lady music 🎶 out it.will....make that black girl 👧 know black woman can doing.....she from Atlanta Ga. Jailen Josey..Spotify ✔ check music please
And I know you miss having a life you still young Jazz you still have to have a life. It's like you got to crawl before you walk so you have to take baby steps when you're trying to Be Your Own Boss. But I know you miss some things about your job and there's some things that you don't miss about your job but I know there's some people you miss seeing and talking to you and being around because even though you're trying to Be Your Own Boss you still have to have some type of life because that also helps with your mentality to be able to be around others and to be able to be out and be invited to things you going to be okay baby.
I do miss social time, but I understand that we are in a pandemic so having a social life isn't as big as of concern of mine as my health is. As weird as it sounds I miss the challenge of work and having someone to answer to. I miss the hustle and bustle of work.
Consider donating plasma....you make legal money & help others at the same time💞☀️
I Feel you, I feel like I’m being punished too idk what it is. My bank account is closed because it’s been in the negative. I don’t have help. I can’t find a job. I can’t get my license because I don’t have a way to the place. I just been crying everyday, every night. I feel depressed I just wanna give up and not be here anymore.
You will always be able to say you tried, you can do both work and work your business during your time off. I sent you a Christmas card, hope it found its way to you. When u feel down there is no place to go but up. 🤗
I’m not sure how you feel about it but you can sell plasma.
