    Monica i have been in a slump for a year after i quit my bank job and i stumbled accross ur vids the time u were doing ur wedding dress last year around this time. Since then i have been watching u on and off. But one day i realised i have failed 2 courses and that same day u posted. It was the i quit my job vdo. And then i have been religiously watching ur vids. And trust me by watching them i have naturally fallen into the routine of wanting to work. Like i love that you work and make it look fun. I incorporated or tried to incorporate it into my life. Its seeming to work. I love you Monica. Do what you do and ur not only inspiring small businesses but also people like me. You are a godsend ❤

      you couldn't have said it better!!
      I only found Monica about a month or two ago and I have also felt a new sense of motivation to get what I need to get done, DONE.

    I think there is a HUGE difference between listening to “influencers” complain about their job, compared to someone who runs a business and also happens to make content about that business.
    So complain away😅✨

    Monica, for me personally you were not relatable when working full time or right now in a sense that I am a stay at home mom and our lives are very different. But you are my favorite person to watch bc you’re so inspiring and so authentic and I think that’s what people gravitate most to. Thank you for being you and sharing your beautiful soul with us all ❤❤

    When you’re recapping your BP experience, would you chat about your worst day and best day money-wise? Very curious about the ebb and flow of sales throughout the season!

    to think when i was younger back in 2005 i literally sketched out an idea for clip on sunglasses because i didnt want to keep taking my glasses off to put on sunglasses and I said once i got enough money i was gonna launch it but i didnt do it on time and everytime i see these glasses i cry inside.

    I love watching your videos and find your channel very relatable. I’m an artist and am just getting started with my small business journey. My favorite videos are the ones where you are vlogging at markets- you are so good at talking with your customers! You inspire me and I can’t wait to see what you do next!

  • @pattimayo7285

    Hi Monica! Don't overthink your content. It is beautiful and peaceful, and that is the reason I subscribe to your channel. Even if you said all the right things, someone somewhere would find fault in it. Just be you! I aspire one day to leave my corporate job and so my small business full time. I run an indoor urban farm, which is super hard, but I love it. Although we do totally different things, your videos inspire me to always keep going!

    Monica, you are absolutely amazing and I wish I had my life as together as you at the same age. At 50, I'm finding that I have to start over. I'm in a job that I hate because they lied about what it was when I was hired. I've been trying to find something else but no one wants to hire a 50-year-old. The only good thing is I work from home. I have watched your videos from the beginning of your journey and I am a creative like you. This year, seeing your quit your job and do the Bryant Park Market has inspired me to just create my dream job and go into business for myself. The only hard thing I'm facing is, I can't quit my job to do this and my schedule just leaves me so exhausted I don't want to do anything else during the week. I'm trying to work in time to start my business and I know I'll figure it out. Currently I'm making test pouches that I want to sell eventually. My goal is to have everything started and up and running by Summer. Wish me luck! You are my inspiration.

    Hi Monica, I found your channel 2 weeks ago with the '5000 weekend' video and i'm obsessed with your content. I've already watch all Bryant's Park vlogs and now I starting from the begining and I love watching your journey. I love Your energy, your honesty and everything You do. Thank you for sharing, love your videos. Hugs from Chile♥️🎉🥳 Ps: You make me smile from begining to end 🙂

    Hun dw your have been so helpful before finding your Chanel I felt stagnant and like I'd hit my ceiling in my small business and since watching your experience I feel like what ceiling I'm excited again and expanded into multi day events rather then just the one day ones from before

  • @shaiday
    @shaiday 12 дней назад +1

    Its so wonderful watching your video, one suggestion I would give since your having issues with organizing and space, is investing a little money into shelving your whole room from top to bottom you can check out videos on it but it honestly helps alot, thats what i have personally done in my house and it helped me big time ☺️💖💖

  • @Andrea-vh4ic
    @Andrea-vh4ic 12 дней назад

    Im here for the realism. You never try to romanticise running a small business, creativity and productivity, you are real. The fact that your craft room is always untidy and you don't try to hide it or pretend otherwise gives me great comfort 😊

  • @hxziers7128

    Hi Monica, you may not be relatable but you are definitely inspirational! I love crafting on the side but not enough to turn it into my job. But I’m so amazed by your hustle and love watching your videos and rooting for you ❤

    I have a really hard time making myself do the "admin" side of running a crafty business, (thanks adhd lol) but something about turning on one of your videos to vibe to while I'm working... It makes it more manageable 😅 The unboxing segments are a guilty pleasure 🥰 Waiting for my shipping boxes to come in so I can contribute to my favorite part 😂

    Hi from the UK :) i worked in retail for what you guys call a "drug store" who sell beauty items too. we would "pull forward" items to the front of the shelf to make it look tidier, in line and fuller. maybe something for your next market to think about

    I am loving all the content now that BP is over and you are in recovery work mode. A two day market is exhausting, but so motivating. I can't imagine how exhausting and absolutely exhilarating the BP market has been! I really like the range of your products, they are diverse yet still totally cohesive. Your branding is really on point. I am primarily a potter, but want to add on some different items that I really enjoy making and fits my niche. Watching you (found you from your I got into BP vid) has really helped motivate me to move forward with some of my ideas. PS* As a NYer who has been many, many times- Bryant Park is such a crazy undertaking and accomplishment! & You killed it!
