Showing my vulnerable side here….
Let’s be real it’s a Saturday, sun is shining but today sales were non existent in store. Like zero. Zilch.
Days like this often leave me feeling deflated, anxious and worrying over everything such as what I am doing wrong, stressing that my boutique is sh*te, and that it’s not what people want. I’m a worrier.
But this day doesn’t define my business and certainly doesn’t mean it isn’t doing well. I love my business and I’m so excited to keep going. However, I’m genuinely giving you insight into being an independent brand as it isn’t all glitz and glamour. Some days are better than others, and sometimes it can be really difficult. Being honest about the struggles we can face as small business owners is really important though.
All that hard graft some days comes with very little reward. But I love my little boutique and I love speaking to people from all walks of life, so thank you to everyone who allows me to keep going and made me dream a reality x
