I'm taking a much needed moment to brag, not a little but a LOT, on this amazing woman!
Ever since I/we officially began LuVille Fresh, I've been running almost non-stop to make sure it got off the ground and going. Then did everything it took to keep it going again this year, even with all the menu and demographic changes and the extra add-ons this year (the market)... and LIFE.
Through it all I kept telling myself, it'll (both life and the business) eventually slow down and then I can make time to go back and clean up paperwork.
Yeah... 😒 I can tell you that is NOT the case and that did NOT happen! I made the decision to rip off the bandaid to create the time I thought it would take, then sat down to get to work on it, and attempted to learn some basics. I very quickly realized it was a LOT more involved than I ever imagined and that NO I did NOT have the time. Especially the time it would take to properly learn the mountains of jargon and the proper procedures. Nevermind tax ramifications if I did make a mistake.
So... I IMMEDIATELY reached out to Cait. She assured me I'm not "too small". And that she gets exactly how I feel. Best business decision I ever made, and I very much regret not reaching out sooner!
I went from frustrated and crying over something I know I'd be able to eventually learn if I had the time (but I don't!) and beyond frustrated with how far behind I was... to feeling confident that it's all getting done SO QUICKLY.
Bottom line, we all work so very hard for our personal business, and this is a HUGE part of ensuring the business is running smoothly, and in getting ready for next steps. So it's SO important to choose wisely when it comes to the people you surround yourself with when it comes to ALL of your business decisions.
I'm just blessed to say that Cait with Beyond Your Books has my back (and the market's back!) so I don't have to worry about it and can keep focused on moving forward! An amazing connection made thanks to Women of Louisville!
Thank you Cait! For all your hard work and for answering my silly questions! You're a Rockstar!
