This is a post for me ✌🏻
I’m not going to lie, I’ve been feeling the pressure of running our own business lately, and needing to provide for our family.
We’ve not been selling tickets for every event we’ve advertised.
I don’t know how best to advertise the amount of events we’ve scheduled (between 4 - 8 different events every week).
I’m not a social media, marketing, sales, website, or advertising expert, and this whole thing is a huge learning curve.
BUT…! I know we’ve created something truly special. I know in time we’ll be ticking along with lots of repeat customers. I really do have faith in what we’ve poured our hearts into.
So, I wanted to reflect on our first few weeks to pour some positivity back into my hopeful heart 🫶🏻
Since opening at the end of September, we have:
💚 welcomed 120 people into the yurt
💚 hosted 18 group events
💚 hosted 7 private sessions
💚 welcomed 15 people into the log cabin for massages, reiki, cacao, and sound
💚 facilitated external courses
💚 facilitated our first weekend retreat
💚 taken bookings for Nov & Dec
💚 welcomed our first external facilitators in
💚 planned new collaborations
💚 received enquiries from people wanting to work with us
All whilst looking after 2 young kids 🧒🏼, sorting business insurance 🥵, buying all sorts of random things like fire extinguishers 🧯, first aid kits ⛑️ , and hammocks 🤣, trying to have 2 days off every week 😬 and responding to all your lovely messages, emails, WhatsApp’s, and keep sharing what we’re up to with you all on socials 🥲
It’s a lot at times! But we’re creating our dream of working for ourselves, so we can do something we absolutely love, whilst being together as a family and pursuing our dream of home education.
That’s actually pretty amazing for our first month! 🥹 so thank you all so so much!! When you support a small business like ours, you’re doing more than attending an event or appointment, you’re helping us live our dream 🫶🏻
Sometimes when you’re feeling pressure, it’s hard to take a breath and look at how far you’ve actually come. It’s easy to get lost in what you need to do next and how you’re going to do it.
So this is my reminder (to myself and anyone else who needs to hear it!) to:
✋ pause
😮💨 breathe
👀 look at how far you’ve come
🫶🏻 believe in yourself
🥇 never lose sight of what you’ve already achieved
Often it’s way more than you allow yourself to realise 🙏🏻💚✨
