@@COURTNEYVCK yeah but you hate on them like it’s their fault. “Because people act like they are a blueprint for business” meaning you agreed to the og post. Lol. I hate it when women try to promote other women by stepping on other people. How toxic. This is Huda we’re talking about and this random obsessed person is screaming at the Kardashians. If a person wants to idolize Huda great, if another wants to obsess over the Kardashians like you then also great. No need to step on them to put others on a pedestal. Really obsessed and jealous.

@vcrfuneral_ Жыл бұрын

I really think that being successful in a business is also part of it is entering the market at the perfect time. It's like knowing what the next trend is before anyone else. Huda beauty entered the market with their brand when makeup became accessible to the average woman. I remember the height of that was all of the make up KZfaqrs creating tutorials to teach us what contouring, highlight, baking etc was. It expanded the market for younger women beyond what was simply lip eyes and mascara.

I love the idea that maybe I can invest money into a business but there's a part of my brain that knows I'm destined to just be a wage worker. Maybe not minimum, maybe not a high earning one, no matter how much free time, ideas or moves I make, I'll likely just be an employee. Sometimes I wish I entertained my creative brain to be a little more business savvy. I could sit here all day and come up with ideas but the chances of me becoming another Huda Kattan is slim to none. I dunno what I have to do to secure whatever bag I can get.
