What I Learned About Building A Brand Alone

Building a brand alone is not for the faint. It takes faith, patience, and a kind of self belief that you have to rebuild every day. I did not have a team. I did not have investors. I had an idea and the will to see it through.


LayMadeIt was born in quiet rooms. Late nights. Early mornings. The kind of hours where you start to question everything but keep going anyway. I learned that building alone forces you to meet yourself in full. You face your doubts and keep creating. You fail and try again.


There were moments when I wanted to quit. When it felt like the world did not see the work I was doing. But the truth is, you are not building for them first. You are building for the version of yourself who needs proof that she can do it.


TheLaySimone.com became my anchor through it all. It gave my art a home and my dreams a structure. Every update, every product, every blog reminded me that consistency becomes confidence.


I learned that success is quiet before it is loud. The early days of a brand are not about applause. They are about alignment. They are about showing up when no one is watching and preparing for the moment when everyone does.


Building alone taught me to trust my pace. To move with purpose even when progress is slow. To understand that the brand you build in the dark will shine in the light.

Behind The Name LayMadeIt

Names carry energy. I wanted mine to sound like a statement, not a question. When I said LayMadeIt for the first time, it felt like confirmation. It sounded like a victory I had not yet reached but already believed in. The name came from a place of faith and fire. It was me speaking success into existence before I had the proof. It meant I would make something with my own hands. It meant I would build my life out of creativity and persistence. LayMadeIt became my reminder that I am both the artist and the architect. That I am responsible for what I create and what I become. Every painting, every digital product, every design under that name carries the same energy. I wanted people to see the name and feel inspired to build something too. LayMadeIt is not just a brand. It is a movement of makers. It stands for those who choose to create rather than wait. Every time someone visits TheLaySimone.com , they are stepping into that energy. It is more than an online store. It is proof ...

From Canvas To Commerce

It started with a canvas. Paint. Silence. A feeling I could not describe. I created because I needed to. It was never about money or fame. It was about healing. About turning emotion into something I could see. But every creation carries direction. Over time I realized my art was not just for me. It was meant to reach people, to build connection, to become something larger. That realization was the beginning of my shift from canvas to commerce. LayMadeIt became the bridge between creativity and business. It turned passion into structure. It showed me that selling my art did not mean losing its meaning. It meant allowing it to live in someone else’s space, to inspire beyond my own walls. I learned that business is not the opposite of art. It is an extension of it. The same focus that brings a painting to life can build a brand. The same discipline that finishes a canvas can structure a company. Every page of TheLaySimone.com reflects that transition. It is where emotion meets i...

Wealth From Within

Why inner growth attracts outer success Real wealth does not start with money. It starts with mindset. It begins in the quiet work you do inside yourself long before the world sees results. When your spirit is in alignment your art flows differently. Your ideas grow roots. You stop creating from fear and start creating from fullness. You move with purpose instead of pressure. Wealth is energy. It moves toward peace and away from chaos. The more you protect your peace the more space you create for abundance. When your heart is clear your vision expands. Money is a reflection not the source. It mirrors your confidence your discipline and your belief in what you build. That is why inner growth always shows up in outer ways. When you believe you are worthy opportunities multiply. When you speak from authenticity your audience grows. When you stay grateful you stay open to more. The richest people are not the loudest. They are the most grounded. They have learned that peace is t...
