Why I Started: A Spark of Inspiration
Ever felt like you wanted more from life? That’s exactly where I found myself, especially after spending (okay, let’s be honest, wasting) hours scrolling through social media reels. It hit me one day: If these folks can do it, why can’t I? I’ve seen many low-income moms turn their lives around with content creation, bagging sponsorships and PR goodies. Why not me?
Overcoming My Fears: The Real Struggle
The road to this journey isn’t going to be easy, though. My roadblocks? Perfectionism and imposter syndrome. Thoughts like, “I’m not attractive enough,” “My house is a mess,” “I have zero experience,” plagued me. But seeing other creators embrace their imperfections was just the nudge I needed.
My Plan: From Ideas to Action
Before diving into content creation, affiliate marketing caught my eye. I’ve followed a bunch of those ‘get rich’ gurus and got a rough blueprint for financial success. But here’s the catch: I can’t work a regular 9-to-5 with kiddos at home and no childcare. But now, with the kids in public school, I’ve got about 6 precious hours a day to myself. It’s time to make them count!
Choosing My Niche: Embracing Authenticity
So, I teamed up with ChatGPT, brainstormed a plan, and set some realistic goals. My first goal? A full year of committed content creation. I’ve carved out my niche – a low-income, stay-at-home mom with ADHD and borderline personality disorder. I’ll be chatting about parenting with ADHD, navigating BPD, and making do with a tight budget. But my big dream? To become a well-off stay-at-home mom, building passive income streams and investing wisely. It’s a long haul, and success might take a decade, but I’m setting a one-year trial to see if this path fits me.
Facing Challenges Head-On: My Daily Battle
The challenges? Staying on topic (thanks, ADHD!) and handling negative comments without losing my cool. It’s daunting to share personal stories with the world, especially with little experience. Plus, I have a chronic pain condition that sometimes knocks me off my feet. But what do I have to lose, right? I’ve already spent too much time doing nothing.
