1. Realness Converts: How TikTok Became Their Launchpad.
When Jen and Danielle started sharing their lives online, they weren’t chasing clout — they were just being themselves. Funny. Raw. Relatable.

What happened? Their audience felt seen.

Why it worked: Today’s audience isn’t sold by polish — they’re moved by presence. Jen and Danielle weren’t trying to be perfect. They were being honest. That’s what built trust, and trust builds business.

2. Know Your Worth: The Shift from Free Promo to Paid Power Moves.
Jen started blogging back in 2010 before "influencer" was even a word. At first, she promoted small shops for free. Over time, she realized: her time had value.

Why it worked: She didn’t wait for permission. She watched her value grow and owned it. The same voice that served others became her own profit engine.

3. Quarantine Pivot: Danielle’s Rise Through Relatable Content.
During quarantine, Danielle leaned into TikTok with fun, raw, and light-hearted content. And BOOM — her platform took off.

But the real flex? She brought strategy to the chaos. Her operational skills from the grooming industry translated into backend business systems. Talk about full package energy.

Why it worked: She didn’t just post. She planned. Behind every viral moment was a grounded mission.

4. Creating Algnd: A Clothing Brand Born from White Space.
These queens didn’t settle for affiliate links. They built their own brand — Algnd. A mix-and-match clothing line that reflected them — feminine, androgynous, expressive, and inclusive.

Why it worked: They saw a gap in the market and filled it. Real entrepreneurship isn’t about copying trends. It’s about creating solutions that reflect YOU.

5. Behind the Scenes: Building Isn’t Always Pretty.
No, they didn’t use print-on-demand. No, they didn’t launch with samples that were perfect. They went through fails, delays, and a million test runs.

Why it worked: They stayed the course. They didn’t wait for perfect — they built until it felt right. Entrepreneurship isn’t quick. It’s gritty. And they weren’t afraid to get messy.

6. Balance Through Boundaries: Family First, But Business Still Grows.
Scheduling is their secret weapon. Every call, dinner, content block — it’s all mapped out.

Why it worked: Structure creates freedom. Jen said it best: “What’s the point of working hard if you don’t have time to enjoy it?”

7. Authenticity Over Everything: Only Promote What Aligns.
These two don’t chase checks. They turn down offers that don’t align with their mission, vibe, or values.

Why it worked: Their audience trusts them — because they stay true to their message. Influence isn’t about saying yes to everything. It’s about knowing when to say no.

8. Taking Risks & Betting on Themselves.
They’ve put their own money on the line. They’ve walked away from stability to build something real.

Jen recently launched a company for women who’ve had mastectomies or explants — something deeply personal. She was scared. She did it anyway.

Why it worked: Purpose drives profit. And people feel passion.

What This Means for You:

• You don’t need to be an expert — just real.

• Your voice has value, even if no one’s paid for it yet.

• Your brand should reflect you, not the algorithm.

• Balance isn’t found — it’s scheduled.

• Saying no is a strategy, not a failure.

If Jen and Danielle can do it with babies, brands, and boundaries — so can you.

Start messy. Build boldly. Stay real.
