  • Starting a business in my thirties hit different than I thought it would.

I spent my twenties thinking I needed to have everything figured out by 30, but I didn't.

Here's what I've realized, building this business in my thirties, that I couldn't have understood in my twenties.

1. I know what I don't want. I spent enough years in jobs that drained me to know exactly what I'm building towards. That clarity is everything.

2. I trust myself more. Not in an arrogant way, but in a quiet, confident kind of way. I've made enough mistakes to know I can handle things when they go wrong.

3. I care less about what people think. In my twenties, I would have been terrified to put myself out there like this. Now I realize the people who matter don't judge, and the people who judge don't matter.

4. I value my time differently. I'm not interested in hustling 24/7 anymore. I want to build something sustainable that fits into my life, not a life that revolves around my business.

5. I have skills I didn't even know were valuable. All those years of experience, problem-solving, and learning things the hard way? That's all content. That's all knowledge someone else needs.

6. I'm not chasing someone else's version of success. I know what I want my life to look like, and I'm building a business that supports that vision.

Your thirties aren't too late to start. If anything, they might be exactly the right time.

You have experience. You have clarity. You have skills. You just need to decide to use them.

Comment READY and I'll send you my free quiz to help you figure out which digital product to create first.
  • The reality of being a content creator. It's not all polished videos and perfect takes. Most days look like this: redoing intros five times, forgetting what you're saying mid-sentence, and laughing at yourself more than anyone else will. But this is what building a digital product business actually looks like. The messy middle. 

The imperfect action. The willingness to show up even when it doesn't go as planned. Because real creators know that progress beats perfection every single time. If you're waiting to feel ready or look polished before you start your online business, this is your sign to just start anyway.
