✨ this is what small business growth really looks like…..
This feels like such a huge milestone for me as a small business owner — I just brought on my very first two supports. ✨ I’ve been working by two businesses while raising two kids for a while now. Real Talk: it feels like a big milestone (and form of self-care) to be able to hire some help.
My product business is growing, and boy am I thankful. It’s born out of a passion to help others have at-home support. And now, I have support in the form of some business help.
One support is a virtual assistant who’s helping with sales and outreach, and the other is a friend who comes over weekly to help me with labels and packaging. 💌
For over a year now, I’ve been running two businesses… through pregnancy 🤰 and with two kids (which includes the newborn months)👶. It’s been a constant cycle of marketing, outreach, production, packaging 📦, and seeing clients 💆♀️, while doing all the things to keep it all moving forward. And for the first time in a while, I have some time back, for me and my family. Delegating the work has given me 8 hours back each week⏳
The work hasn’t disappeared — I can now focus on the backend up of the business, the growth, the ideas the vision. I feel like I can now breathe more life into it. 🌬️
This morning, after dropping my kid off at school and getting my treatment room ready, instead of rushing straight into packaging and production, I got to make a coffee ☕. I fit in a 10-minute workout 🏋️♀️ (and at five months postpartum, this might have been my first work out ). I actually got to start my day with a little more intention ✨ before heading into four bodywork sessions and backend business work in between.
It might sound small, but it feels like everything. 💛 For months, I’ve been in go-go-go mode, doing it all on my own, and now I can finally take the tiniest breath. A little glimpse of what it feels like for my business not to be a one-person show forever. 🌸 And it feels Amazing!!
This is what growth looks like in real life — messy, slow, and so worth celebrating. 🎉
To anyone else building something while juggling motherhood 🤱, postpartum, or just the full weight of life: it does get lighter. Even the smallest bit of help can open up space to care for yourself again, and that makes such a difference. 🌿💛 Can’t wait to see where this business grows.
