From Portugal here, my grandmother and I recently started our own small business as well and your videos have helped me so much! Thank you

[@monicarazak]

amazing!! best of luck with your small biz🤍

[@SophieyTV]

I just started my own small business and youtube channel and your videos have been helping a lot! Can’t wait for the market vlog!

[@BananaMama1231]

Monica, I can't express my joy and gratefulness seeing your pop ups market vlogs. It really helps me. I'm constantly worrying and anxious about expanding my business especially getting employees and here you are doing this amazing business of yours and you are mostly alone. It calms me. The only reason I can't hire help is because I lack money. Hopefully that will be sorted out soon. ❤

[@avdb683]

Good luck at your pop-up! I’m new here but have been binging your videos while I work on my own products for my first EVER pop-up coming up next Saturday as well! I’ll be echoing your “no pop-up is a bad pop-up” mantra to myself as I, too, feel a bit anxious❤️

[@videodiariesforeveryone]

[@msales1226]

@@monicarazak THANK YOU for sharing, kabayan! Not sure if someone had already told you, YOU ARE VERY INSPIRING! i would usually just head straight to bed after work, but watching your videos lights a fire on my butt to do something else :D lol I started on a couple of hobbies while binge watching your vids, definitely pulled me out of my sort of emotional slump... so THANK YOU for being my therapy🥰🥰😃 p.s. I agree, the new camera looks really good and you look AMAZING!😘 tons of love! and praying you sell out each market 🙏🙏🙏

[@gigigonzalez]

I ordered from your website last week. So excited for my cozy candles✨

[@libbydearing2374]

I have just started doing markets and have had a few bad experiences. You inspire me to keep going and making changes to see what works. Thank you and keep the videos coming.

[@ivettepuga7171]

Thank you sooo much for letting us know about how the market went and about the location ❤ I could not have waited until the next video to find out 😅 I would've been so upset not knowing for days 😂

[@monicarazak]

Hahaha I know I was like I can’t leave you guys hanging like that😅

[@onyaeonyae7]

I always look forward to your videos. Working Full time AND having a small biz is a lot of work but with balance it can be done and hella fun. Hope the market goes great in that spot - I've been there. Goodluck

[@charrissaarianna]

I love when you post a video. You inspire me a lot in my crochet small business

Hey I really love your content! they have been helping me to really determine to start taking my crafting more serious for this upcoming fall! Are there first time markets that you recommend for the NJ area! I also live in central Jersey and Ive been having a hard time figuring out where to find good markets to sign up for! Love your craft content so much!

[@dianaviera6228]

[@lavondriamaurice]

Love your vlogs! I also have a candle business and want to thank you for motivating me!

[@ninatsurstudio]

[@SewFelicia]

You should ensure you take stretch breaks to reduce your muscle fatigue. ❤❤

[@bravezoom]
