🎁
So it turns out that starting two all-encompassing businesses simultaneously, while managing a long term nerve injury, is the equivalent of burning the candle at both ends over a massive bonfire. Who knew?? 😂🤣
I set up the hampers to try and fill in my free time between FM jobs and, well, there just hasn't been any free time 😅 a good complaint to have of course, especially after spending several months last year wondering how on earth I was going to get back into work!
The downside is that I'm now way beyond the point of burn out, in a kind of nuclear zone now where sleep actually makes things worse?! 🤣
Anyways - to cut a long story short I've closed the online shop for the time being as it's one less thing to think about and, rather than spend time trying to drum up business for the remaining hamper stock (marketing is by FAR the worst thing about having a business!!), I've decided to just give it away 😄
My imaginary business advisor is, once again, screaming but we go on 😅
So if you know someone who deserves a little pick me up send me a PM and, while stocks last, I'll fire out a wee hamper for them when I have time 😄
I'm not ruling out a festive hamper or two later in the year once things calm down 🧑🏻🎄 and next year, all being well 🙏🏻, I'll have the time to do everything I planned to do with the hampers this year. Chi sinn!
Lastly, it goes without saying that I will be forever grateful for my little support network of family, friends and my (far) better half ☺️❤️ this year wouldn't have been possible without them. Also grateful for all the wonderful people I've met this year on my wee journey. It's amazing what you can do with the right people around you 💪🏻 onwards!
