Y'all know those times when I'm like
BUY MY S**T
YUMMY TREATS
NEED X ORDERS
I'm not just talking outta my ass, I'm trying to build a business π
So, I did not make goals last week. Goal since June is enough to STAY OPEN. Not to pay myself, not to be rich. Just to STAY OPEN.
I do NOT pay myself right now other than gas for deliveries.
I keep getting told I should just shut down. But I will not as long as I have hope, and hope is about all I have π
This biz can be and has been super successful. We have been RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF THAT for MONTHS. π¬
This isn't a pity post, just letting you know the other side you don't often see in business. Why can't we normalize the struggle, the hope, the fear, and the grit?
I am probably going to add a shipping fee of $5 for orders under $35. Why the jump in cost? Because I'ma do whatever I can to keep going, and my average order value has increased to $35 so that's where free shipping will hit. That being said it'll prolly take a few days for me to make the change.
(HINT HINT)
Today is the end of my grace period to pay my kitchen rent. They have been so kind to let me switch to week to week until business picks back up, then I can go back to monthly. I will be moving some personal bills around to cover it. And hope that we can hit it by next Monday.π€
Once again, this is not the end. It's always on the edge of that, but this new system and the grace of my landlord WILL get us thru this. π I'm not going anywhere π
We have so much more good to do! So much more love to spread! So many more lives to touch! π³οΈβππ³οΈββ§οΈ
Today, I am going to rest and 'fix' my personal bills to grab a little and see what I can move around to keep going another week.
I am 'planning' on doing the next bake sesh tonight π
I will be picking some winners from the last g!veaway post.
I may do another giveaway but if I do it'll be fast and furious, so you may want to stay tuned throughout the day.
I will be making our August donations to a local nonprofit. This percent of rainbow item sales gets set aside and is not counted toward revenue. More on that later this afternoon.
I love you guys, I love this little community. Thank you all for the amazing support and friendship π₯°
