Hey everyone, it's me, Cecilia, back again for our weekly catch-up!
I am so pumped!!! Can you believe I made a Kawaii Ink neon sign? I've always admired those cool branded spaces with their own neon signs on Instagram, and I couldn't resist customizing one for myself. It is super small but I love it! It looks amazing, and having it just adds this extra level of ceremony to everything I do. It feels like my hustle is turning into a real deal! Plus, having this neon sign makes me even more pumped for work. It's kind of like this recent idea I had - I used to be a bit sloppy during my college days, but now, even though I'm just working from home, I make sure to get up, change into something nice, do my makeup, brew a cup of coffee, and officially kickstart my day. It's like giving myself a formal ritual to start work, and it signals to my body and brain, "Alright, time to get into gear, let's do this!" 💪
As for the store, I'm realizing lately it's all about doing simple things and doing them over and over. The extraordinary often comes after lots of ordinary stuff, right? And there's no real secret sauce to entrepreneurship; a lot of times, it's just about repetition and accumulation. But even in this daily grind, I remind myself to carve out time to take a step back, look at the big picture, do some reflection, and brainstorm breakthrough ideas. I've found that starting with crunching numbers helps a lot. Once I start crunching numbers, I can usually pinpoint where the issues are. With a problem identified, things become more tangible—I just need to search for answers, come up with solutions, and execute. I guess I should be mentally prepared for the long haul; success in business doesn't happen overnight and staying level-headed is key. I'm committed to treating every customer, every order with care. Time will give me the answers I need! 🕒
I'm so happy to document another week of my journey! Remember, as we keep our feet on the ground, let's also keep our eyes on the stars! 🌟
*This was me pretending to gaze at a rainbow planet!
Let's catch up again next week! Love you all! 💖
