I started out two years ago with an idea in mind to be "Crafty." I have always loved to decorate but didn't do much crafting. I have a love for signs....who doesn't? I have decorated with them for years. In April of 2012 I decided I was going to make some signs and the rest is history. I found a love for painting in doing this, it is relaxing. I find myself painting until wee hours of the morning, I call it my "Painting mode," when I am in my mode the house could be falling down around me and I wouldn't know it (not for sure if this is a good mode when the kids are up!) I really honestly love my PASSION of making pretty home décor.
I have a question and I would like for you to comment. If you start a business and have put a lot of time and effort and you are still a very small business AND someone starts to copy your business model and mimic very similar pieces to yours...do you take this as a compliment? Tell me your thoughts. We have ran into this and although frustrating I find it a compliment in a weird way. What do you think? Some questions I have pondered, will it hurt my business? Why would you want to build a business mimicking other businesses? What are your thoughts?
I do find it hard to not let it bother me, I am only human. I have thought long and hard about this situation and have come to the conclusion there is nothing I can do about it. I am very confident in the product we produce and the only thing I can change is my attitude and outlook. Continue to build on our reputation as a business and continue to dream big. If someone wants to copy me and other businesses around there is only one thing to do....continue to follow my passion, no one can copy my passion for what I do??? Right???
Looking forward to seeing the discussion.....
