It’s so surreal to believe this time one year ago, October 15 to be exact, I shared my very first blog post with the world. In one year of blogging I’ve come such a long way and it took until this point for me to figure everything out. I didn’t have anybody to me show the do’s and don’ts so I did what anybody else would do when you want to learn something; I read books, watched plenty of YouTube videos, and studied some of my favorite bloggers. Everything was trial and error. After several different theme changes, many late night deeps thoughts, and a whole lot of patience, I am where I am today.
Throughout the year I came to truly find my style and even though it’s still evolving, I love where it’s at. I’ve learn to network and step outside my comfort zone when meeting new people and attending events. Most importantly, I learned that anything that you want to succeed in will require a lot of effort, work, and time. I’ve struggled with consistency and really putting the time and effort into ‘my baby’ and because of that I think it set my progress back but on the flip side, I now know what I have to do to get my blog where I want it to be.
This one year represents growth, progression, and learning a lot about myself every day. Like you never know how your body looks until you see it in 100 different photos from every angle possible. Accepting my flaws and learning not to compare myself to others took some time. I had to overcome the doubts, the insecurities, and the fear. This one year reflects all of that. So many of my friends and family support me and see what this can become and that’s the best. It makes me not only believe in my dreams but everybody else’s as well.
Year 2 will be for me to take missbeesblog.com to the next level. More fashion, more hair, more content, and more events. I have so many goals set and things I want to do so I can’t wait for the world, or whosever watching, to see!
This has to be my favorite look and shoot to date and the number 1 balloon adds the icing on top of the cake for me.
I want to end with a quote from the Queen Bee herself for a little inspiration for all those who are chasing their dreams and trying to make their side hustle their main hustle.
“I am a workaholic and I don’t believe in no. I don’t believe in I need to sleep. If I’m not sleeping nobody’s sleeping. I’m one human being. It’s a lot. If I want to be a businesswoman, I’m a businesswoman. Independence is not easy.” – Beyonce
