WHAT I WISH I KNEW 7 YEARS AGO..

If I could sit down with the version of myself from 7 years ago, there are SO many things I would tell her. And honestly? I wish someone had told me these things sooner. Let's start with something that used to drive me CRAZY…

LESSON #1 YOUR GLUE ISN'T ALWAYS THE PROBLEM

I went through what felt like 100 different glues because I was convinced the glue was always the problem. But eventually, I realized something:

It wasn't about finding the “perfect” glue. It was about learning how my glue WORKS. Once you understand your adhesive your environment, humidity, temperature, dry time, application, and how YOU work with it you become so much less dependent on finding some "magical product". When you truly understand your glue…you should be able to work with ANY glue. STRAIGHT UP!

THAT is the kind of knowledge I wish I had focused on sooner. Not constantly searching for the next product. Not constantly thinking I needed something new. Learning. Understanding. Mastering. That's what actually changed my work. And that's only ONE of the things I wish I knew 7 years ago…

Over the next few days, I'm sharing the biggest lessons I wish I could go back and teach myself, from finding my niche, to education, consistency, posting, mapping, and SO much more.

If you're in the stage of your career where you're questioning what you're doing… girl, I've been there...And trust me…THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT DOUBT IS TRULY JUST KNOWLEDGE + TRIAL & ERROR. 🤍
