AI and digital marketing consultant Kayla Jackson (@kaylajacksonofficial) is using her platform to deliver a heartfelt message to aspiring and struggling entrepreneurs: success begins with mindset, and keeping it requires emotional resilience.
In a recent Instagram post and video, Jackson reflected on her journey from working three jobs and running a demanding tech startup to becoming the first millionaire in her family.
She credited her seven-figure success, earned through selling low-ticket digital products online, not to harder work, but to the mental and spiritual shifts she made through daily meditation, auditing her thoughts, and releasing “stuck energy” that had lived in her body for years. “I manifested $1 million in 12 months,” she captioned her video.
“Through God’s grace, I became the first millionaire in my family from building an online business from scratch. No experience, no followers, just hustle and heart,” she said in the video. “But no one tells you about the knot in your chest, the panic attacks, or how hard it is to settle into the peace you prayed for.”
Jackson explained that many who grow up in scarcity unknowingly condition their nervous systems to expect chaos, making it difficult to embrace abundance when it arrives. For her, intentional mental work—paired with faith—helped her unlearn those patterns.
She encouraged viewers to start their businesses, keep pushing through challenges, and remember that “everything you want is on the other side of unlearning what you’ve always known.”
Referencing Psalm 139:14, she urged followers to believe in the identity and potential God has already given them.
Her message resonated deeply with followers, with one commenting:
“This landed right on time for me. Thank you because God knows starting a business is hard.”
Jackson closed her post with a reminder to fellow entrepreneurs:
“Even when it’s hard to settle into the peace that you pray for, you deserve to keep what you’ve built. Keep going. Breathe through it.”
