If you blinked, you may have missed B. Simone's come-up, which is actually more than a decade in the making. This year alone, the multi-hyphenate hustler has locked in a tour with some of the most acclaimed comedians in the industry, hosted Will Smith's birthday party, and lived her best life alongside some of our favorite stars; but reaching her latest milestone hit a different for the self-made mogul.

Yesterday in an emotional Instagram post, B. Simone revealed that she had just reached $100,000 in sales in only two short months. The business owner launched her cosmetic company B. Simone Beauty two months ago and has since proven its ability to thrive in a saturated industry.

According to a report by Business Insider, the beauty market is currently worth more than $532 billion and B. Simone is hungry for her piece of the pie. Although the 29-year-old entertainer is currently making major moves in the beauty industry, cosmetics isn't her only hustle, proving that creating multiple streams of income always pays off.

Here are four more money moves B. Simone made in 2019 that will inspire you to level up your income in 2020:

Launching Her Beauty Brand

A year ago, B. Simone started a lip gloss line; a year later, issa six-figure earning company. Although the process of B.Simone Beauty didn't happen in the time others expected it to, it happened exactly when it was supposed to. The entertainer said patience, dedication, and faith kept her sane when she felt rushed or impatient.

I don’t know what it is about me when it comes to television (or web) series. Usually, I won’t watch them when they’re airing in “real time;” it’ll be a couple of years later, and then I’ll binge-watch and become a fan. Such was the case withChef Julian (the real ones know). And while watching it, someone who I found to be so pretty was the main character’s forever-on-again-off-again girlfriend Mo’. Real name? Javicia Leslie.
