I find that starting anything always feels like the hardest part. So I avoid it and real progress is never made. I stay in situations that don’t serve me because I am too afraid that without certain safety nets, I will surely perish. I say this because they say admitting a thing is the first step to changing it and I really want to change.
Now I have to try approaching some scary things, mainly shifting everything I have ever believed about making money and surviving in this world. Maybe some of you got the message that you could be anything you wanted to be but I think while that was said, in my world it came with a weighty reminder to be reasonable. I interpreted this as, the best I could ever do would be to hitch myself to someone else’s wagon and sell my time for money in service of someone else’s dream. As long as I just don’t hate it things are good. Standing here now, that just feels like such a low bar.
Today I am trying to take the first steps towards being more independent and focusing on my aspirations. Over a year ago I said I was going to start taking practice clients and seeing what I can do as a nail tech / artist. I wasn’t able to commit to the education required for licensure financially or otherwise and wasn’t willing to make a go of it illegally so that got set on the back burner. I can now pay the tuition and spare the time so I am taking the leap. Am I experiencing a daily panic attack thinking the only thing I should be doing is looking for another job with respectable pay? Absolutely.

In the event you feel compelled to help me manage some of that anxiety, I would be incredibly grateful to anyone who wishes to offer donations towards my school expenses during this time when my ability to work is limited. Please include a note when sending your contribution if you have an interest in becoming a practice client and helping me build my portfolio. Thank you! I appreciate you!

I found a school, like so many things lately, rather far from home. I have already completed 25% of my hourly requirement to graduate and the time honestly went by in a snap. I’m certain it will be over before I know it.
Now it’s time to start practicing! Hoping to launch my business in a more official capacity in February of 2024 and I am excited to continue to share my plans and process. Again, remember to join my mailing list to be notified of new content as it is posted. Thank you for taking an interest in my journey. My hope is that it might inspire others to similarly be brave and set their dreams in motion.
