H a p p y M o n d a y ! 🌞🍃
*disclaimer: this lengthy post is by no means complaining, just a raw & real moment of the behind the scenes ⬇️*
This past week or actually this past month 😅 definitely kicked my behind mentally and physically and my body 100% feels it! As a small business owner, nobody really talks about the sacrifices or the hard part about still showing up for the business even when you’re on 0% battery life 🪫
As a business that is owned/operated/managed by only me, wearing all the caps that keeps a business running meanwhile trying to balance personal life or just life in general in the mix of it all..can be very overwhelming at times! I’m so hard on myself about not falling short on either end of personal life and work life that I get tied up with falling short on both ends because I just end up not having enough time overall but that shouldn’t make me feel like I’m not trying hard enough because I do know that I’m giving it everything I got including my limbs😆, it’s just a mental thing on not giving myself grace! We are so used to making sure everyone else gets their needs met that 95% of the time we skip out on celebrating with family for events on weekends, important dates, holidays or just half way enjoying it or even if we’re sick, not feeling well, having a bad day and would just like to rest for the day, its really difficult to do that alone because we can’t afford to lose even an hour on time. Sometimes I find myself on automated survival mode because I’m just constantly running on adrenaline when I’m working and when I finally get to sit it’s like my body completely crashes or even when I finally have time/energy to go to an outing with family/friends, I’ll have a tendency to respond to customer inquiries and get in work mode again or majority of the time I’ll zone out because my mind is still going on about the other things on my list to do that still needs to be done 🫠😅 and then my husband will have to snap me out of it and remind me that I also deserve personal time so that I can refill my own cup to be able to show up 100% for y’all and put my best into my work as a florist! All this goes to say that this is your sign to slow things down when needed and that it’s completely okay to take a personal day from the chaos and kick your feet up, you deserve it, enjoy the fruits of your labor. Business owner or not, we are still humans and life is happening for us as well, we are not robots..there are those customers that are super understanding that know that life happens unexpectedly!
I’m loudly grateful for all of you who have been so kind and patient with me in responses regarding inquiries, being flexible, been appreciative of my time, sending sweet encouraging messages, etc. but above all providing me feedback with how much you all LOVE your orders..it makes it all so so worth it in the end! 🥹🫂
This month is the month of being thankful for all things, this year I’ve learned so much in my craft and about myself and I’m thankful to each of my customers for allowing me to flourish in that and continue to see the growth of my business ✨🌸
Y’all really are my flower family 💛
Thank you so much for supporting and booking my flower business, wouldn’t be here without you guys!!!
(p.s. as usual I was too busy this week to get a handful of photos of orders, so please forgive me for my lack on that, I’m trying🥲)
