I'm a business-loving woman and a mother of two. I'm a very independent and natural woman looking for a serious relationship without drama, and an honest man with his feet on the ground, who's sure of what he really wants.

It sucks 💔 when you put so much effort into something, hoping to see results, but they never come. But, remember, oftentimes, it just boils down into the number of times you do the same thing over and over again to get that result you wanted. It's just like throwing darts 🎯 over and over again until you finally hit that bullseye. But, in reality, that dart doesn't take one second to throw. Each try or attempt you take or "dart" you throw can take hours or even days to do. What if you needed to do the same thing 30 times to get the result you wanted, and each thing took 5 or 10 hours to do? What if it was 100 times or a 1000 times? You may never know until you get that result. But, what you do know is that you can keep trying and keep throwing those darts. :)

Trust yourself and stay relentless.

Love 💞,

Sara Jilani

P.S. Here's a picture of me (metaphorically) throwing a dart 🎯. :)

hi! i saw your artist post, and i wanted to ask you something. i have a channel where i post covers of songs, and i stopped because of studies. I'll be starting it again in a few months, and i wanted to do a rebrand. do you think i should delete my old videos (there were only 5-6) and start fresh? i was thinking of keeping 2 of the best ones and deleting the rest, but i wanted some other input.

ty! ily xx

Hi lovely!

I would suggest keeping them, they're part of your brand legacy so to speak. If you consider them really low quality, then yes you can hide/archive them for the time and keep the best ones.

Remember to keep your eyes on the prize and keep moving forward. Don't overthink the process of content creation/art creation. One mistake that a lot of artists/creators do is being perfectionists to the point that they overthink everything and never end up posting consistently or gaining reach. I did this mistake too in the beginning.

At some point you have to stop worrying so much and just create what you love and focus on rebranding/reorganizing your content later.

PS: if you need help with (re)branding, I'm actually considering offering services for graphic design/webdesign/branding, for anyone interested feel free to drop me a message. Everything in my website/brand is done by me.

Hope this helps and good luck! 🎶

great things take time, it’s worth it to keep working on your projects & goals — even if you aren’t seeing external validation yet

be okay without instant gratification, fast growth, thousands of followers/views/customers from the jump - make an effort, do the work, and you’ll make progress toward your goals.

i’ve been working on several projects lately and i’m really proud of how far i’ve come. one of them is a website, blog, shop, and social media presence entitled “hopeful narratives.” it’s a place where i feel like i’m contributing to the world and could potentially positively impact peoples lives. part of my purpose, i feel like, is to show people that you can take shit you’ve been through and turn it into something positive for yourself and others for years to come. it’s to create beautiful from the depths of my darkness — whether that’s in the form of blog posts, designs, art, poetry, music, whatever.

i have so many dreams that i’ve set out to follow and i believe in myself enough to pursue them and my personal development. and that’s what hopeful narratives is all about. i have some posts about self care, productivity, life, etc and it’s written from my neurodivergent, healing/recovery lens. i hope it helps at least one person to have hope and get motivated to go after their dreams too!

Femme Fatale Guide: Top Career Tips To Set Yourself Up For Success

Figure out where your skills and passions align. Then determine the lifestyle/work culture you thrive in and what sacrifices you're willing to make in your chosen career path (for some, it's always traveling/talking to people 24/7, working late hours, unpredictable/unconventional hours, potentially lower pay/less predictable income, etc.). It truly depends on your top values, your personality, and your goals/priorities in life.

First focus on getting incredibly talented at your craft. Find a mentor(s) who will push you with their feedback/suggestions. Take classes/skills courses/read books & articles to gain more applicable knowledge/hard skills. Join clubs, apply to internships, volunteer, and request informational interviews in your desired field.

Make your skills marketable. Create a professional resume and/or neat portfolio/collection of work samples. Discover and articulate your USP (that should essentially serve as the backbone of your elevator pitch). Frame your skills through a customer/business-centric lens. How does your experience/skillset solve their problems and help a company/client achieve their goals?

Build a network for yourself. Don't be shy to reach out to companies/individuals who inspire you. Speak with your secondary school teachers and professors for connections. Create peer-to-peer networks, too, so you can grow together. Be a fearless networker and connector. Help others, do favors, and make the person glad they met/hired you. Make it your objective to be memorable through your work ethic/providing high-quality work products and showing up with a motivated & overall positive attitude allows people to like and trust you with their time, clients, money, etc.

Master the art of a killer email/cold pitch. Especially in today's world, learning how to sell yourself through intriguing emails/LinkedIn messages is the key to unlocking potential success. One client or opportunity can create momentum that will be useful years down the line, too.

When in doubt, follow up – on an email, pitch, job opportunity, connection, etc.

Be ruthless and relentless with your research. For new contacts, connections, opportunities, and information to support your pitches/job interviews/networking conversations, new technologies, and trends within your field. Read everything credible you can get your hands on. Display working knowledge and practical applications of these concepts and how they can benefit the person in front of you/their business.

Create systems. For how you structure emails/pitches, conduct research, different types of workflows/ work template structures for different types of projects, time-blocking, client funnels, etc.

Get comfortable with rejection. Use it as a primer for self-reflection and refining your craft/processes or help you pivot your approach to help you achieve your goals. Never take business decisions on behalf of a company personally (and vice versa).

Give yourself breaks, but don't give up. Tapping out for good is the only surefire way to fail at an endeavor. Be flexible in your path, but zeroed in on your goal(s). Learn when to quit or pivot, and when it's time to coast or seek growth.

Once you've chosen an expert, ensure that you set clear expectations and objectives for your project. Clearly outline deliverables, timelines, and any other specifics to prevent misunderstandings.

Whether you need technical development, design, marketing, or a combination of these services, the right expert can make a significant difference in your online store's success. Don't hesitate to explore the Shopify Experts Marketplace, freelance platforms, or web development agencies to discover professionals who can help you achieve your e-commerce goals.
