0:00I took a break from TikTok shop
0:01and I still made 100 K during that break.
0:03But I feel like that urge for a break came from a place of.
0:05This is like my first time I've been able to take a deep breath ever.
0:09Abuse of home addiction. Started at 16,
0:11lasted 8 years. Became a skripper
0:12Multiple failed businesses,
0:14which is extremely stressful.
0:15Losing everything, moving back into my mom's house at 26 years old.
0:18I did figure out what made me happy when I moved back in with my mom
0:21and had $200 in my bank account.
0:23But my nervous system clearly wasn't like,
0:25regulated cause I couldn't take care of myself
0:27cause I was a 26 year old with $200 in my bank account.
0:30So last year when I started doing TikTok Shop,
0:31I was making money. I understood sales psychology
0:34and I was like, okay,
0:35I'm just gonna take a break for a second.
0:37Like, I need a second.
0:39And I already Learned the lesson that money doesn't equal happiness.
0:41So there wasn't this thing in my head that was like,
0:43I can't stop, I have to, like, work,
0:45work, work.
0:46I made $400,000 last year.
0:48I can take a break if I want.
0:49That's why I built this life.
0:51Last time I really sat down to like,
0:53film and like, cared,
0:54it was in November. And so yesterday
0:56I posted my first TikTok Shop video back
0:58where I'm actually present in a way that Is like
1:01me wanting to show up, and the video is already at 100 K views in 24 hours.
1:05Overall, I'm just, like,
1:06very grateful that I can finally say
1:09I've Learned a skill that I know will make me money for the rest of my life.
1:12Whether it's on TikTok Shop or another platform,
1:15sales is always gonna be there.
1:16I've Learned the skill.
1:17I've gotten super good at it to where I'm very confident in myself,
1:21and I can take a break if I want to. Like,
1:24the deep breath that comes along with that
1:26when you've gone through so much,
1:28like, I have never to compare stories,
1:30but it's a little bit different than, like, oh,
1:31I was a college dropout or this or that.
1:33Like, dude,
1:34the shit I've been through is, like,
1:37questionably insane. So being able to take a breath at this place,
1:41coming from where I came from,
1:43means more than I can even express into words.
1:46Genuinely, all I can do and all I do every single day is thank god,
1:50because just, I don't know,
1:54like, I have no words.
1:54So every single day, I thank god,
1:56and I just let myself and my nervous system relax.
1:59My biggest testimony with god actually happened last year.
2:01I pinned that in my profile around this time,
2:03where everything started to click for me.
