📍 From July 11 to 15, I officially kicked off my business at the yoga retreat, and honestly, it felt like a dream. The weather was beautiful, the music was soulful, and I met so many amazing, like-minded people. Everything was under control. My website was up. I had, uh, everything ready for the business. I was over the moon.
Everything about those days just fills me up. But you know how it goes. The fun part of business doesn't last forever. I came home full of hope and energy only to realize now I actually have to sell all these bags and yoga towels I made, and that's when things got real. As I started explaining my product to people, I could feel it.
They didn't see them the way I did that hits me. It was like, oh, I've started a journey. That's definitely not going to be easy because it's not just about the bags, is it? How do I explain why someone should buy what I've made? Why it matters and why they should be okay paying a little bit more. That's what I started to realize.
My job isn't just making things. It's sharing this story, the why behind it all, and honestly, that's what I wanted to talk about in the next episode.
