It’s not all pretty flowers…
You think owning a flower and dress shop means glamorous days, effortless success and millions rolling in?
Reality: I spend most of my days helping customers, brides, bridesmaids and mothers of the bride through important decisions, last-minute worries and all the emotions and anxiety that can come with weddings, while managing my own anxiety, perimenopausal hormones and life as a mom of 3.
I’m always on the phone, replying to emails, blocking scam calls, solving technical problems, making difficult decisions and dealing with 17 things at once.
Somewhere in between, I’m hauling buckets and vases, lifting boxes over my head, drawing designs, ordering supplies 5 months before Christmas, steaming dresses and driving my Toyota Corolla around the city with a trunk full of flowers. 😂
My journey hasn’t been as effortless as social media can make success look. I’ve learned as I go, made mistakes, paid for some of them and built everything step by step, day by day, one customer at a time.
Some days are beautiful. Some days are overwhelming. Most days are both.
Maybe one day someone will take over and become my boss. I promise I’ll be a good employee. 😉
Small business owners, who’s with me?
