On Instagram, the 21-year-old shared the hardships she faced when setting up “Mix and Brew Coffee,” her first business venture outside of show business.

“The journey of setting up a business like this is not a joke,” she wrote.

“I wanted to be super hands-on and do everything, maybe that's why I'm this stressed.

“It was physically, financially, mentally, spiritually and emotionally exhausting.”

She adds that although creating the finished product is done, the real challenge of “staying in the game, of fulfilling all our customers wants, the challenge of managing the business properly” has officially started.

“It was hard and I know it will not get any easier.”
