After about 6 solid months of planning my business (going through the SEB program here in Ontario - thanks to Lindy for telling me about it!) I am FINALLY opening tomorrow (today in about an hour... eeeek!)
I'm very excited but also a bit nervous as I have no idea what to expect in terms of sales right off the bat. I have about 20 of each of my soaps made and am hoping I don't sell out too quickly! I have been spreading the word about this all over the internet for months so there are a lot of people waiting in anticipation to order and I'm a little freaked that I might run out of soap (a little late to be worrying now!) Then again, I could be a bit let down if not everyone I think is going to order, does!
I don't know. I just have the OPENING DAY JITTERS! LOL. I am not having the spectacular grand opening I thought I would be due to recent events (crazyness in my life over the last few weeks), but the soap is officially for sale - the B&B stuff will come over the next few weeks (just need to get some good pictures of everything and a couple of more things made!)
Overall I'm excited to finally start seeing some money coming IN rather than going out. I have definitely spent about $10,000 on my "little" soap hobby - it's going to feel so weird to actually be making money rather than creating more debt due to my soaping habit! LOL
So anyway, just thought I'd post and thank you all for all your nice comments about my soap over the last few months, and to those who have encouraged me along the way (special shout-out to
LINDY!!!! ) - THANK YOU SO MUCH! I don't plan on "getting rich" with this business - if I can make a few hundred a month I will be more than happy. Wish me luck!!
If anyone wants the address to my website (those of you that don't already know it) feel free to PM me.
Thanks again everyone........... here I go!
