Good morning ,
First and foremost I want to say thank you for being a part of this community. Yesterday I celebrated 5 years in business!! It’s been exciting, but if I can be honest, it’s been pretty overwhelming too.
Over the past week I’ve felt excited, overwhelmed, at peace and ready to break down - sometimes all within the same day.
Running a business is extremely rewarding, but it also requires a lot from you. As I was packing orders on Tuesday, a sense of relief came over me. I thought to myself, I’m glad I don’t have this many orders to pack every day.
While I was excited to see all the orders, I was overwhelmed with everything else that came with it. That may sound like the opposite of what you would expect me to say. There used to be many days where I wanted my business to make more money, which comes with more orders. Sounds great to get 20-30 orders a day, but the reality is I can’t take much more than what I’m doing. I'm only 1 person, and gone are the days of being so busy that I have no time to rest.
I’ve seen a number of small businesses close over the past few years due to their mental health. They had all the orders, but the stress took a toll on them. It’s really a shame. I pray and believe that God will shield me from growing so fast that it kills my business.
I pray that God will send me more wonderful customers and supporters. I pray that this business points people to Jesus. I pray that over the next year I can focus on the good. I pray that I can grow in peace and wisdom.
Thank you again for being with me on this journey. I hope these emails over the last few years encourage you to turn your focus back to God, and his purpose for you.
I appreciate you being a part of my community. It's always more than skin care :)
If this email has helped you please share it with someone you know.
Love,
Danielle
