So here is my H.S. sweetheart and I! I was 15 and he was 16.
15 years later!
We have grown up our whole lives in a small town. I always thought I would be a big time business woman running the world by now. Every time I say this, it makes me think of a Kenny Chesney Song, in which one of the lyrics states: "I was gonna run the bank I was gonna run the map, now all I wanna run is a bubble bath." It's amazing how I thought my life would turn out and what it actually is. You see in my dreams I didn't really account for a marriage or children. Once I had those my dreams changed a bit. My dreams now involve having a good marriage and continuing to have happy and healthy kids. I have a dream of becoming a successful business owner but you see my dreams had changed from living in a city and running the world to just being happy with who I am as a person and having a good home life.
Success is defined differently for everyone.
Our business is going better than we could have ever imagined. I just started a pinterest account too. So between blogging, pinterest and facebook hopefully we can reach more people.
We question the stability of having a sign business. Is it a fad? What do you think? My mind races with ideas of how to take this business to the next level. We have also had 5 businesses contact us over the last 3 months about wholesale. I do have two stores that my signs are in, Rocking M Western Emporium and Happy Trails Antiques. Can I take on more? I have a difficult time telling people no. I had to turn down over 20 orders for Christmas and although this down time is nice I keep thinking, I could have maybe done two more customs or I could be creating. Painting is my hobby, my business and my relaxation. I love painting signs and my favorite is creating! Although I finished my orders on time and most have been delivered or delivery is schedule for this weekend, I have the need to still paint. I have created two pieces for family for Christmas so this helped my addiction!
So we will see where this leads. Looking forward to sharing our adventure with you.
