No One Talks About This Part of Starting a Brand (But Here’s the Truth)

No One Talks About This Part of Starting a Brand (But Here’s the Truth)

 

When people imagine starting a brand, they think of aesthetic flat lays, viral TikToks, and perfectly packaged orders.

They don’t think of:

  • Zero sales days

  • Refreshing Shopify like it owes you something

  • Creating content no one sees

  • Fighting off self-doubt and feeling like you’re failing your partner

This is the part no one talks about—and it’s also the part that matters most.

 


🧠 Why I Still Show Up

Because one sale means someone believed in me.
Because the person I want to become doesn’t quit.
Because every blog post I write is building SEO, even if no one reads it today.
Because staying small doesn’t protect me—it just guarantees I’ll stay stuck.

 


💼 The Reality of Building Karsan Co

I made this brand because I was tired of melted makeup.
But now it’s also about proving to myself that I can build something from scratch.
Even when no one claps.
Even when my bank account is quiet.
Even when it feels like I’m the only one who cares.

 


👜 If You’re Still Reading…

The bags are heat-proof.
The journey isn’t.
But if you need something that works as hard as you do—you’ll find it here.
