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!
Awww I'm glad you like the Monica's hat (i'm the maker at Knit Wit 608!). Thanks for show casing small businesses! I've been watching your content from the beginning, so exciting to see all of the behind the scenes at Bryant Park!
I, especially as another small business owner, love how you inspire others to make plans, and stay the course in order to follow one's dreams. You are such a blessing! 🤗💖HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🌺🌺🌺
HAPPY NEW YEAR MONICA. CONGRATS !! I LOOK AT YOU AS MY RUclips LITTLE GIRL. I AM 62 YEARS YOUNG AND IN WATCHING YOU AND YOUR HARD WORK AND THE PASSION THAT EXUDES FROM YOU. IT HAS REKINDLED MY DRIVE AND PASSION AS A CREATOR AND DESIGNER. MAY GOD BLESS YOU, JOSH, AND YOUR FAMILY. MUCH MORE SUCCESS AND ABUNDANCE IN 2025!!❤🎉
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!
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.
sleep is over rated at least according to my brain. squeze in ideas and test project when you can, have a collection of both to cheer you up. it is the way you want to go. remember my favorite quote: tough times dont last, tough people do!
You should be so proud of what you have accomplished and have every right to celebrate it! Doing what you love and getting paid for it, is the best of the best and you worked hard to get here. ❤
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 🙂
Whooo! We made it to the vlog! 😂 it was so nice meeting you Monica! Also I’m glad to do the post Bryant park sale because I went straight to order my cranberry Prosecco candles! Hope you had a great birthday and are getting some much needed rest and joy this month! ❤
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
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 ☺️💖💖
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 😊
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!
thank you soo much for the new vids!! i love watching them while i sew at home 🩷 you are such an inspiration for me and wanting to create a business as well
Great Job Monica...you did it! I'm rooting for all the small businesses ❤ Do you mind if I ask about your checkout setup...are you using 2 Ipads? I've never seen a checkout like yours at a vendor event...neat!
Brill you hardwork ethic really inspires me, I want to have my own business soon, Hey your not complaining or showing off, its just is asit is dont change this please, take care
I have enjoyed following your wonderful journey doing this long holiday event. May I ask where you get your tote bags? The fabric looks so thick and great quality. I usually only find thin flimsy fabric totes. Have a lovely day.
I have been watching your videos a couple months now. Love you and your spirit! Where did you get your table that goes up and down? I'm a fellow crafter, just moved and planning my craft room. ❤
every time i think about getting a pair of getting blue light glasses and start doing research, i always end up seeing that they don't do anything 😅 so i never actually buy them 😂 but fr, do they work?
Usually I don't comment, but you deserve every comment for the algorithm 🙌 I love how you create a safe space for us cozy small business owners to cheer each other up. As a business lawyer starting my own RUclips journey, your authenticity and dedication shows how sharing experience should be done. Thank you for that 🤗 Keep it up-you're making a real difference!

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
Not over winter village! please do a q&a and recap video :))

Great Job Monica...you did it!
I'm rooting for all the small businesses ❤
Do you mind if I ask about your checkout setup...are you using 2 Ipads? I've never seen a checkout like yours at a vendor event...neat!
Happy belated birthday. Mine was on the 22nd.
Could you return some of the vessels with the reason ‘delivered too late to use’ or something like that? 🤔 ❤❤
Wow I'm so early 😍
Brill you hardwork ethic really inspires me, I want to have my own business soon, Hey your not complaining or showing off, its just is asit is dont change this please, take care
I have enjoyed following your wonderful journey doing this long holiday event. May I ask where you get your tote bags? The fabric looks so thick and great quality. I usually only find thin flimsy fabric totes. Have a lovely day.
They’re from Tote Bag Factory online:)
I have been watching your videos a couple months now. Love you and your spirit! Where did you get your table that goes up and down? I'm a fellow crafter, just moved and planning my craft room. ❤
Omg I also drink nami matcha too!I have a subscription 😂.
every time i think about getting a pair of getting blue light glasses and start doing research, i always end up seeing that they don't do anything 😅 so i never actually buy them 😂 but fr, do they work?
Can you please do a video or comment what camera and microphone you use? I have no idea what to get, so many options!
Sure! I also have everything I use linked on my amazon storefront in the description:)
I hope you will release your New York New York candles online. I'd love to gift my New York native husband. We now live in South Carolina.
it's on my online site now!! Only until sunday though:)
I found you searching for Bryant Park Winter Village.
💜💙
First ?
When you enjoy what you're doing and it is for your own business it is not work. Being creative, for me is never work.
Monica! Nooo! The New York candle was in my cart and I went back to pay for it and it’s gone. It’s SOLD OUT! Are you going to have more? PLEASE! 💜💜🫶🏼
Usually I don't comment, but you deserve every comment for the algorithm 🙌 I love how you create a safe space for us cozy small business owners to cheer each other up.
