In this emotional episode of Let’s Try This Again, B. Simone opens up about the power of writing down your dreams and how a journal she discovered from 10 years ago reminds her of the journey she’s been on. The journal, written just before her move to Atlanta, chronicles a period where she was juggling three jobs, sleeping on the floor, and trusting in the belief that her hard work would pay off.
B. Simone reflects on how her journal entries—full of aspirations like wanting to be financially stable and save $1 million by the time she turned 30—have all manifested in some way. Her dreams, though sometimes taking a different shape than she imagined, became a reality through unwavering faith and perseverance.
As she revisits the pivotal moments that led her to Atlanta, B. Simone recalls saving money by waitressing in Dallas, buying a used car, and moving to Georgia with only a few thousand dollars in her pocket, determined that success was inevitable. However, the early days weren’t easy—B. Simone worked multiple jobs, sometimes for less than $20 a day, all while maintaining her faith and using journaling as both a reflection and form of prayer.
Her journey, which began with dreams of pursuing music, eventually led her to find success in comedy, podcasting, and content creation. Through all the struggles and setbacks, she learned the power of persistence and the importance of maintaining a positive mindset, even when things weren’t going according to plan.
One of the standout moments in this episode is B. Simone’s recounting of how, in February 2020, she challenged herself to earn $362,400 in 50 days to hit her $1 million goal. With multiple hustles—including business promotions, selling her car, and selling beauty products—she made her dream a reality and achieved the milestone by her 30th birthday.
B. Simone’s message in this episode is clear: having faith, writing down your goals, and staying consistent, even in the face of adversity, can turn dreams into reality.
