“ I LISTED THE DESIGN ON ETSY WITH ZERO EXPECTATIONS .”

Three years after opening my Etsy shop , I felt safe enough to quit my job and turn my then “ side gig ” into my full-time job and I ’ ve never looked back ! Next , I created my very own website and started The Fabulous Planner Box which is a monthly subscription box .
Being an entrepreneur is hard as you end up working WAY MORE than a regular 9-5 job but the fulfillment you get from it is priceless to me ! I really don ’ t mind working 14-16 hours every day because I ’ m obsessed with what I do and it doesn ’ t even feel like working most of the time . But I also learned my limitations and the importance of self-care , rest , and meditation to keep my mind clear .
