    I really think that being successful in a business is also part of it is entering the market at the perfect time. It's like knowing what the next trend is before anyone else. Huda beauty entered the market with their brand when makeup became accessible to the average woman. I remember the height of that was all of the make up UA-camrs creating tutorials to teach us what contouring, highlight, baking etc was. It expanded the market for younger women beyond what was simply lip eyes and mascara.

    I love the idea that maybe I can invest money into a business but there's a part of my brain that knows I'm destined to just be a wage worker. Maybe not minimum, maybe not a high earning one, no matter how much free time, ideas or moves I make, I'll likely just be an employee. Sometimes I wish I entertained my creative brain to be a little more business savvy. I could sit here all day and come up with ideas but the chances of me becoming another Huda Kattan is slim to none. I dunno what I have to do to secure whatever bag I can get.
