my story so far ($500 to half a million in sales per year with my clothing brand)

[@nickehvibes]

When people do story times on KZbin, it gets boring if they don't add other clips or take you through the journey visually. But with you, even if you're just talking to the camera, I can imagine what you're saying so that makes you an amazing storyteller! Great job!

[@gAmErGRiLLLL]

Of course of course 😏😏😏😏😏

[@gatahunm]

Being pretty helps

[@Carolinaluqai]

Girl! It was a sign I found your video. Since 2 years I started to work on my own small cosmetic business working hard to make money to create own ingredients. A lot of mistakes I made this time, one day I were in totally big black hole doesn't know what next, spend all of savings I were resigned but I have to back with my motivation as I had from beginning. Always start is the hardest. I know, I will not give up. Thank you for this video you're such a good girl. Send you all love, take care ❤❤ PS. I am Polish too from Katowice 🥰

[@katherinesaras]

You got this!! 🙏🏼 good luck!! 💖

[@Carolinaluqai]

@@katherinesaras Thank you for support 🥰

[@zyanyagaona]

Your video just popped up on my home page, today. I'm currently re-launching my scrunchie business, and your story resonated alot with me, because I launched it last year and I only had one sale haha :( And I did ALOT of work: marketing research, learn how to sew scrunchies (their handmade by me), learn about new tools on social media, learn notion app, film content, edit, take photos, etc, etc. I also felt like a failure. So I gave up on it for a few months aswell. Right now I'm making new content and changing my strategy, and I promised myself that this year I would give everything to my business, and I would not give up, no matter what. 😊 Subscribed to your channel cause I loved your story, thanks for sharing ❤ Made me feel like I'm not the only one going through this :)!

[@Iamnayhall]

I’m relaunching… i definitely can relate to your story. I stop for a while because I felt like a failure… now I’m relaunching and i have more faith and confidence in myself more than ever. Thank u for this motivational video ❤

[@ruthmicallef]

It’s honestly such a joy to see another business woman discussing the highs AND the lows! Before we truly reach success each and every one of us fails in so many ways. Your transparency is wonderful.

[@ellaschannel777]

Thank you so much for sharing your journey as not a lot do on this platform. It's refreshing to hear someone say that things didn't quite work out the first time around, but keep going if it's something you're passionate about! Your designs are amazing btw!

[@chakramonkeyrelax]

Hard work, dedication, perseverance... looks like you've mastered that trio. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@eve398]

I love how honest you are. Really enjoyed this video! So happy you made it! Congrats! Keep grinding!

[@vsunsett]

[@SaraKateHaus]

Thanks for sharing your journey! This absolutely motivated me to not give up and to trust the process of building an online store.

[@biancaoctaviatt]

I love your story, very motivating. love watching your success!

[@maydonstyle]

My dream is to have my own brand and your story is encouraging and inspiring me to go for it! Thanks for sharing.

[@stylealejandraquiros]

Thank you for this ❤ I must say I’m in that time in my life where everything feels uncertain and I have mixed feelings on how my life is going to turn out. My goals are all over my head and sometimes I just get overwhelmed by it. Now you just gave me the power and strength that everything will click one day and shouldn’t give up. I should just keep pushing❤

[@talkdeepwithgina]

Hi beautiful! Thank you for sharing this story, it hits home for me. I started my own business earlier this year and it flopped too. Knowing that anything is possible if our heart and soul is behind it, is what keeps me going ❤ All the best on your success ahead!! I hope you’re so proud of yourself 🫶

[@alpharomeo1976]

Very inspiring! I’m from Chicago and I grew up with many 1st generation Polish. They have an incredible work ethic and beautiful values! I love your culture. Happy for you and congratulations on your success!

[@manijajudaa]

I watched your TikTok for the first time and I am really inspired you. I have also started my clothing brand and it is based in London. I give whole credit to you for inspiring me. Much Love

[@katherinesaras]

That’s means the world to me 🥹🫶🏼 good luck with everything!!! 💗

[@nayanakarunanidhi6982]

Bless you heart Kat ! I was exactly like you, I moved all the way to England from Dubai to study fashion management and I felt super lonely as well ! Your journey is such an inspiration ! Keep shining xxx

[@filippusbartel6447]

Every crash /collapse/inflation or a recession offers an equal market opportunity if you are well prepared and knowledgeable. I've seen people accumulate up to $800,000 during crises and even pull it off with ease in a bad economy. Without a doubt, the bubble or crash has made someone extremely wealthy.

[@freekbastiaan3498]

I agree that there are strategies that could be put in place for solid gains regardless of economy or market condition, but such executions are usually carried out by investment experts or advisors with experience

[@gervaascaspar2426]

A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. he's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.

[@johnmarrison5240]

Please can you leave the info of your lnvestment advsor here? I’m in dire need for one.

[@eugeneraymond252]

"Wonghuatrade" is the advisor that oversees my portfolio. He's been able to gain some reputation and online recognition with over 3 decades in service, so it shouldn't be a hassle to find basic info.

[@ambrosebrant4954]

He appears to be a true authority in him profession. I looked him up online and found his website, which I browsed and went through to learn more about him credentials, academic background, and career. he owes me a fiduciary duty to act in my best interests. I set up an appointment to use his services.

[@Carolpelomundobr]

You said everything that I needed to hear! I almost cried, I’m also building my dream and sometimes it looks so far away that I want to give up. Thanks by share your story 🙏

[@taylormarieparker6710]

I love your story Kat 🫶🏼 the definition of ‘you can do anything you put your mind to’! you should be so proud of yourself!!! 💕

[@itsclauds7554]

Love how transparent you are about your journey!! What do you think changed between your wholesale launch where it didn’t sell well to your second launch where you sold out?

[@daybrooks]

Great question I would love to know as well!

[@katherinesaras]

I think the biggest factor was actually the product! Even though the wholesale workout sets were a great product, they just didn’t stand out enough with how saturated the market already was! once I introduced my own designs with the pastel sets, even with minimum marketing they sold really well 🫶🏼 hope this helps!! 💗

[@artyst1]

Great content! I like seeing the journey of brands. I'm planning on starting a sportswear brand so seeing content like yours gets me motivated and inspired. Keep up the good work!

[@VivianEleazar-ps2ct]

thank you so much katherine,it’s truly an inspirational words that implied in my heart … specially to me as neophyte in this industry.❤

[@caitiewinters]

You are SUCH an inspiration!! I’m trying to build my own business, and your story is so motivating to me. Thank you so much for sharing everything and for showing that if you put in the work, keep believing and keep trying that you can manifest your dreams! You’re amazing!! I hope someday I can be sharing my success stories like you are and inspiring others 🫶🏼

[@folakemadeit3732]

Amazing. You are smart, hardworking and had the vision. You also made it sound easier than it probably was as what you did must have had many challenges you had to overcome. Keep flourishing. Your video was very encouraging. Bravo🎉

[@skyart-ti4jv]

This is really cool-I've seen your brand on TikTok but didn't realize it was yours until I clicked the link to your site

[@shokokakehi4554]

Smart, hard working, beautiful, downtoearth…… inspiring !!! I’m an immigrant in Germany. I used to work as nurse but now I’m studying international business administration and make my own business as well. Since you had made a brand and you are also the face of the brand, I wanted to know how far your reach was( for example amount of followers), when you started your brand for the first time and the second time.

[@luciajoanaobert3152]

Heyy I love your brand and your videos (I always watch them with my morning coffee haha). I absolutely love how authentic and sweet you are - it really inspires me and I'm really happy for you. Could go a little bit deeper into your strategy? Like how you grew your audience and your business because I also have a business and I didn't have sales for almost 2 years now so I actually don't know what to do

[@mariecubyrko9919]

An amazing story and part of it I can relate to but I admire the fact you were courage enough to start something because I can even I desperately want to.

[@paolacamila]

[@vanityyyyy]

It's frustrating that people give you so much crap and assume you got to where you are due to your parents' money, when in fact it is the opposite and you worked very hard.

[@stickierland925]

[@Wellnessbylu]

Thank you for your video. You are beautiful, smart, and ambitious. I'm starting my own activewear brand in Australia (I'm from Argentina). I know how it feels to be in another country with a different language and now, how it feels to start your own brand. I'm not an influencer; I'm more of an introvert, but I know I will figure it out. All the best!

[@wiolate8417]

It’s kinda funny cause I remember you from Sp35 in Czestochowa😀 Your story is amazing and very inspiring because from my point of view, you started as small town girl, and become fast-growing American Businesswoman! Congratulations 🎉 I hope to see you in forbes one day❤

Hi Kathrine! I remember first coming across you from your “Why we chose Texas” video you posted a long time ago. It’s incredible watching your growth and progress. I was curious what the legal aspect was like. Did you need a LLC? An Attorney? Trademarks? What should we know? What can you tell us? 🫶🏽 Best of care, you’re doing great! :)

I just started my clothing brand with print in demand company and it wasn't good because too low quality with a high price.I ordered a sample from them and I was disappointed, its look like a garbage, they just wrapped with the shipping cargo bag,and there is no brand logo.And the sad thing is they uses the cheapest brand just to print my design. I just checked your website and has a really cool stuff in there. Your story inspired me to move forward.Thank you sharing
