Update!
As you guys know I unexpectedly found out I had cancer and then had to get an amputation to remove the tumor from my finger which put delays in orders.
No one prepares you for stuff like this, mentally or physically. Life has been throwing me obstacles left and right the last couple of months. And I wonāt lie, itās been really hard, Iāve wanted to give up many times.
For a new business owner, you learn from these experiences and you learn what works and what doesnāt work, and how to do better and how to prepare.
No one likes to admit fault but Iāve failed you guys in many ways. But I hear you and Iām learning and taking in every opinion to grow and to be better. I want to show my kids and even myself to never give up, even if life tears you down because itās what you do with it that matters. I wonāt lie, I definitely went through a scary depressing phase through this. But I got up, because of you guys.
Iāve definitely been embarrassed about how long itās taking me to get orders out, coming back to work I thought Iād be able to get orders out fast and efficient..but there are so many things I didnāt take in accountable that in the long run should of been a priority.
Communication is key. And I never want you guys to feel like you arenāt being heard because you are.
I did have an assistant up until April answering messages for me. It is nice having help, but as Iāve learned from you guys, you need to be hearing from me. That way nothing is getting missed, no one is waiting. But the issue now is, just catching up with messages. I had to turn off comments on posts and being honest, with the amount DMās on here, emails, Facebook messages, tik tok messages, I just got way overwhelmed and the pressure was getting the best of me mentally.
As far as orders...If you are waiting on a message from me, youāll hear from me. That is my only priority this week.. Iām hoping this post makes you feel a little better, I am so sorry for how long itās taking me to make one, I am trying the best I can to make sure everything is done.
Thank you for cheering me on, thank you for understanding, thank you for being here for me, thank you for being patient.
