It all began with garbage at the side of the road

It all begins with an idea.

5.30.25 I started doing an antiquing side-hustle a few years back. Because my friends all knew about it, I would get referrals all the time, for stuff that would be good for my inventory. One day, I came home to discover someone had left this sweet little yellow tv in my driveway. My initial plan was to sell it, and I very nearly did at the Flamingo Haven yard sale.

It all begins with an idea.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
