    Building wealth from nothing involves consistent saving, disciplined spending, and strategic investments. Begin by creating a budget to track expenses and identify areas for savings. Prioritize paying off high-interest debt and establishing an emergency fund. As you build a foundation, start investing in low-cost options like index funds, and focus on continuous learning and improving your skills for better income opportunities.

    That is SOOOOOO much effort. I can't believe she went through all that. You just never know how hard someone works. From doing test batches for 4 months...To potentially giving away her only car...To emailing companies 50 times....To rejecting $100,000. This girl has ALOT of faith and grit. Wow! Talk about persistence.
  • @sergiobowers6930
    Not taking that 100k was the smartest decision she made, great story, she’s an inspiration to everyone of all walks of life.
  • @selenajack2036
    Love your straightforwardness in the manner you show us the mix-ups as well as the triumphs. Your posts are genuinely uplifting, showing us all the significance of profit investing...my prompt for students is to assemble here and get an enduring answer for their effective financial planning nightmares...no information is a waste.
  • @brbhave2p00p4
    We need stories like these more than ever in today's world
  • @Eileen49654
    Best video of yours so far. You were a great interviewer, never interrupting or giving your own personal views You let Tara talk and show her humility and perseverance Great job and awesome subject matter. Like a short documentary
  • @LisaElevateDJ
    I’m so glad you’ve done this video, there are thousands of bro vids with bros interviewing other bros about how they got so successful at such a young age and barely any about women who’ve done it.
  • @Fivetimesthree
    Omg her saying that she already saw success and only had to reverse engineer the process. WOW. I’m so inspired.
  • I really needed to hear this today. I am so glad she didn't let that company take advantage of her with that $100k offer. Amazing story and super motivational!
  • @softy-bf5eg
    A crash and bullish market provides equal high-yield potential, it's all about information and strategy application, I've seen folks make huge 7figure profit in a crashing market and pull it off much easily in a bull market Unequivocally the crash/recession is getting somebody somewhere rich.
  • This is one of the best videos I have ever seen. Great story! Perhaps the only thing missing would have been some tough times that she probably experienced when creating this company. I know she got a lot of no's. It would have been interesting to hear how many no's she got, how she felt, whether she was ever discouraged, and why she continued even though there were so many no's along the way.

    Loved this video, Shelby! As a food product founder, this was so inspiring! I’d love to see more videos about other people who have created and grown their brands in the future.

    The ETF and stock markets are still quite volatile, just like the property market. My $670K portfolio is down by 15% even as the stock market is on the rise lately. what’s the best way to correct my portfolio?
  • @xohannahbananaa
    Her story is so amazing, it’s amazing that she did what she did. I did enjoy learning about this as much as you enjoyed making it. Amazing job Shelby! And Monica coming through with the videography ‼️ I’m a huge fan of these types of videos
  • @GaiaLiotta
    I admire her so much! The way she visualized her success is such an impactful lesson to everyone not just in Busniess but in life.
  • @Kellybell2
    Great video Shelby!! Love these entrepreneurial focussed videos. So inspiring! I usually just watch the vlogs and after seeing the behind the scenes in your vlog of this video I was so excited to see it uploaded
  • @auntyvic
    Her confidence is so inspiring! Love to here that she wasn’t surprised when her hard work paid off. ✨
  • This was just such an incredibly inspiring story! Thank you so much for sharing your journey 🙏 I cried when I watched this! I am pouring everything I have in my business as a dance studio owner and just seeing this just reminded me why I am so grateful for having this opportunity and all the sacrifices I make❤️ thank you!
  • @juliayncera
    I love seeing young women go against the grain of what they're "supposed" to do (go to college, get a good job, be a corporate contributor, etc) and instead, going for what they're heart and passion is telling them to do. You and Tara are both great examples of the fact that believing in yourself and making sh*t happen is possible! Thanks for the video, I love your stuff!
  • Great job Shelby! While I've enjoyed all of your videos, I feel like this one really showcased your editing skills. Would love to see more documentary type videos like this. It would be awesome if you could feature other companies started by women!
