🌟 Bootstrap your way to Success 🥾

For like the next 10 years, at least, if you’re starting a business think of ways that you can bootstrap it. It’s about being resourceful at this time. Even if you have a lot of money, how can you do it with no money?

Here’s 3 things you can do today to get started…

  1. Embrace resourcefulness: Being resourceful is key when bootstrapping your business. Start by evaluating the resources you already have at your disposal. Can you leverage your existing network? Do you have any specific skills or knowledge that can be utilized? By identifying and maximizing these resources, you’re setting yourself up for success without spending a fortune. It’s not about the size or grandeur of your product or idea; it’s about starting small and building from there.
  2. ✨KISS✨Keep it simple: In the pursuit of success, it’s easy to get caught up in complex strategies and overwhelming ideas. However, I’m a firm believer in getting back to basics and keeping things simple. Start with the smallest product or idea possible. This allows you to test the waters, gather feedback, and make improvements without investing excessive time or resources. By keeping it simple, you create a solid foundation on which you can build and refine your business.
  3. Stay focused on the obvious: In today’s fast-paced business world, it’s essential to stay focused and not get carried away by flashy trends or complicated strategies. Instead, keep your eyes on the obvious. Identify the core needs and pain points of your target audience, and develop solutions that address those directly. By targeting the fundamental aspects and keeping it obvious, you’re positioning yourself for success. Simplicity and clarity go a long way when it comes to building a sustainable business.

I keep encouraging people that bootstrapping something right now is the way to go. Being smart with how you do things, starting with like the smallest product possible, or the smallest idea possible will just lead to major success. Get back to basics. I am a huge fan of keeping it obvious & keeping it simple right now.

♈︎ARIES (March 21 – April 19)

Are you just going to continue to think about it and just let it consume your thoughts??? Just rip the bandaid off. Who cares?! At least you’re not living a lie. If you tell a person you like them and they’re not interested, yeah it’s awkward. Yeah it’s embarrassing. But at least you have the frickin’ balls to do it in the first place! To me, I have a lot of respect for people that like do stuff like that. At least they have the guts to do it. You’re better than 99% of the population. If you’re interested in a friend or whatever (it could be an earth sign) then I would say go for it.

♉︎TAURUS (April 20 – May 20)

You (and all the earth signs) are prime for a big move. Somewhere that’s cheaper but better. If there was ever a time for earth signs to move I would say it’s over the next few years. You’re gonna have to do your research to find a place that I call a win win win win win…maybe you find a place that’s like cheaper, that’s bigger, better, and maybe you get a job that pays you more money. Be enterprising.

♊︎GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)

Intuitively I feel that you are fearing repeating something that happened a long time ago. It’s like you’re afraid of repeating a cycle but you are not going to repeat a cycle. Maybe you’re entering into a time that looks very familiar and the reason the fear is coming up is because you’re doing something that you’ve done before. But you are different now! You’re much older. You’ve gained wisdom. You will not be repeating this cycle.

♋︎CANCER (June 21 – July 22)

Be Flexible. Whatever it is you’re trying to accomplish I would research other ways to accomplish what you’re trying to accomplish. It’ll make you more flexible by doing it and that will ensure you’re working with the energy. There’s a ton of astrology that I personally believe is saying if you’re not flexible you’re going to have a super hard time. Learn to adapt.

♌︎LEO (July 23 – August 22)

I feel like every single reading I’ve been doing for you lately it’s like something has to come to an end. Ten of Swords says something is dead done over with and it’s time to experience a blessing in disguise. Some sort of rock bottom moment is bringing blessings into your life. Your super power right now is: seeing things clearly with a lot of wisdom and discernment. Trust your thoughts, your feelings, and the directions that you think you need to move in your life at this time. You are very intuitive at this time.

♍︎VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)

The future is unwritten, dig into the mysteries & really go for something you desire. There may be mountains, but you get the best views at the top of mountains. Yes, it is worth climbing the mountains. Mountains can represent obstacles but they’re good obstacles. They’re things that cause you to grow.

♎︎LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)

You have to put the work into something to experience its full potential. You have the Ace of Wands…out with the old and with the new. It kind of says in death there’s life, there’s a new opportunity. You have a new opportunity coming in, but you really have to nurture it and care for it. This is that one thing you need that can save the day, or that can get you moving in a new direction. It is the spark of life.

♏︎SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)

I would make sure that you’re focusing on equal give and take. The Justice card says that if you’re giving to situations that don’t fulfill you then you’re going to have problems. If you’re giving to situations that do fulfill you then you’re obviously going to be much more successful.

♐︎SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)

Quit making things more complicated than they need to be. When we over-complicate things, it’s almost like we’re creating systems that just make us busy and that actually take us away from the real work that needs to be done. Wouldn’t it be better if you quit that and just got straight to whatever it is you’re trying to accomplish? Whatever you are thinking about doing, just grab onto it and make it happen, and don’t allow perfection to stand in your way. You’ll learn as you go.

♑︎CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)

I think there’s a lot going on energetically that is making us feel closed down, but really we need to expand. Again, I’ve said it a billion times, over the past two years I think what people are feeling is empty space. There’s a bunch of empty energetic space that needs to be filled with our good ideas before it gets filled with bad ideas. So don’t be afraid to share your ideas.

♒︎ AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)

Some of you could feel that you are starting from scratch, but really you don’t ever start from scratch in life. You start with whatever you have between your two ears. You start from experience & wisdom. Don’t be afraid to you know start over if you have to. You’re taking control and you are making positive moves with the Emperor. You’re creating a much better new life.

♓︎PISCES (February 19 – March 20)

If I were Pisces nowadays (which I am) I would be choosing the harder path. I would do the harder thing…the thing that forces you to grow, the thing that you want to run away. Choose the path that challenges you. It may feel uncomfortable, but it’s worth it

I recommend looking at your Sun Moon & Rising Signs for a complete picture of your energy.

  • SUN = your core personality
  • MOON = your emotions
  • RISING = the mask you wear (what the world sees)
