Running this business single handedly is so rewarding and makes me so absolutely proud of all my achievements BUT sometimes it and life gets on top of you and the past 2 weeks I have lost my mojo, I've concentrated on making the cakes and I've let the admin side of things slip... BIG TIME.
Don't get me wrong, I've sat down with my diary, laptop, note book, order folder etc and I've manage to reply to a couple of people but on the whole, I've looked at messages and gone Nope, not today.
When you have messages on text, whatsapp, email, website inquiries, Facebook, Instagram, phonecalls and then wedding planning websites.... It's just over whelmingand when you start replying and the second/third/forth message comes back.... Arrhhh
Have I lost orders? Yes
Have I pi**ed people off? Yes
Does that make me sad? Yes
Have I buried my head in the sand and that's made it all pile up and become worse? Absolutely YES!
In 17 years of business and no one to delegate to when you feel overwhelmed, something has to give and admin is always the thing. I'm sorry and I promise to get back on top of it. I'm only human, a one woman entrepreneur, a mum, a wife, a daughter, a friend but I'll always be honest and ALWAYS deliver on my confirmed orders.
So this week I will be prioritising admin and hopefully will be caught up and back to normal Cakes by Leni business by the weekend!
Happy Monday x
