It’s the sudden urgency to act grown when you turn 26.
Or you’re truly growing to learn that peace is priceless and you need to EMBRACE IT MORE.
“It’s not about what you’re wearing, it’s about the person you show up as while wearing the fit” C.Alilijah may of said this.
Random fashion affirmations and small business diaries
A regular Tuesday for you is what other people dream about, or however that goes.
I mean, the coolest part of my day is making a bomb flyer and painting a mannequin. That was fun.
Using nail polish remover to unstick my fingers from a satin finish.
I knew I should’ve gotten the brand I was used to, but here I go being budget-friendly!
Can you be budget-friendly while building a business
*wants to insert random meme, don’t want to get sued*
I spent years learning about copyright, what belongs to you, what doesn’t. I remember just a few shy years ago making a whole podcast episode about it.
Nothing on the internet is free.
There is a reason ppl pay for subscriptions. yoU aRe rEnTInG.
It sucks, truly sucks.
26 is going good
It’s going to be a good year, and I am going to put that in position.
My small business grows carefully and intentionally. I mean, just last week, we had a spam email issue!
It sent an update of my blog as a newsletter attachment almost 25 times. Oh, and it was consistent. It happened within 30 minutes.
I kinda laughed because it felt like a “spoof” moment in business. Just a little hiccup to honestly let me know that I needed to update my mailing list and get the ball back rolling.
Building an email list is almost like building…
I couldn’t think of a word to fit that…
Let’s say that was very embarrassing. Very embarrassing that my email list did that to me.
However, it was quite an ironic story. I was trying to send an email from my business website to my workshop guests but it kept failing. I kept sending test email after test email, and it kept failing.
I got a little frustrated because I knew that it was a simple fix, but I didn’t want to go down the rabbit hole of reaching out for support.
Well, I had no CHOICE.
They were very quick with their response, and I like that. It made me feel, as a customer, that they wanted to get the job done. I liked that. It was real.
Take a note.
So, should I use coupons to buy my blanks
The sale was good, but at the same time, it messes up my numbers. One month it was $7.56, but the next it’s $9.78 because the coupon is only 20% or nonexistent.
Now, I have paid $2 more for something that impacts my brand, and it’s like, do I charge $5 this month or $5.75 because I gotta make up the new cost?
That’s what makes this a more complicated game because now your monthly expense rises and the numbers will see no difference or you’ll be in the negatives.
You made… maybe two cents that month.
sONG OF the day
“Brown leather jackets are in right now”
A song that sounds like that.
I have my pick.
Listen to the podcast.
