I am receiving several messages and calls with people asking why I didn’t ask for help. Behind the scenes I spent the last year trying to save Simplicity ♥️
I searched for funding/grants, joined business networks, met with financial advisors, took courses, sat down with financial institutions, brain stormed marketing plans, pivoted, soul searched and faced my harsh reality. Small businesses are not going to ask for help, entrepreneurs have dreams and are passionate, they just keep going. This was a VERY difficult decision and it didn’t happen overnight. Behind every small business is a family, sometimes risking it all for a dream and losing it all is always a possibility. Yes I stood behind my counter smiling because that’s who I am. ♥️
