Business Owner Rant!!

article image placeholderUploaded by @soulcandyj
I have to make sure I'm going to make that 25, 30, 45, $50 back that I'm spending. But I guess if people don't have businesses, they don't understand that. And it's just like, please do your research and please try to understand because it takes a lot of thought, a lot of time. And even if they feel like my stuff is so basic, I know what the meaning is to me

Because not only are we beautiful to look at, because we're all ugly to somebody, and that's fine. Because we're not meant to be everybody's cup of tea, we're meant to be the cup of tea for the people that are meant to be in our lives. That's fine. That's the whole point of my brand. But I have to figure out how to tell people that because my nerves get too bad

I like the concept of Soul Candy, but I do have to say from the picture alone, you're definitely a very attractive person on the outside, so don't sell yourself too short there. But anyway, I hope getting your thoughts out, not on paper and pen, but on swell here, allowed you to just let go of some of that frustration and leave it behind, because those kinds of people, they don't get it

You are still building your true clientele base, your ideal client avatar, so you can do the low hanging fruit. Like you said, being organized with my day, because I still do work, what I call a bridge job, which is my Aka nine to five, while trying to manage my business and a new business. I started in between that and then a lot during the evening

So that's going to cost money to do. And then after you do all of that, then you put your product out there. Now it's time to promote yourself, let people know what you're doing. You may have supporters, you may not have supporters. I know for me, I've got discouraged several times, not making sales that I want, not being able to create that flow of income where I don't have to have a job, a regular job

I want to think of new color schemes for the clothes or a new type of design, a new font, this, this and that. And it was like, at first, every time I tried to get my business off the ground, it was always something in the way or like finances and crazy things. And so at first I started off doing it in my sister's house, in her living room with iron and what are they called?

And even though growing up my mom did not approve, she would always try to make me feel some type of way about me being the way I am and knowing the things I know and doing stuff my way. At the end of the day, it's like now that I'm older, I've had time to process the things and heal from them and understand that everybody is not going to understand me and everybody's not going to like me, everybody's not going to think I'm pretty

But it's good to hear that you're putting your foot down and making sure that to keep the wheels running, to keep the wheels rolling in the business, you got to make sure that all the economics add up. And if the money doesn't match, then, sorry, the product doesn't move. It's very much that simple
