Starting a Business is Easy...Right?

Let me first start by sending a huge THANK YOU to all of my customers! You guys and gals ROCK! I never would have imagined taking a leap of faith would result in such a reward. But why am I surprised? Look at the God I serve!! Before I act like this journey has been super easy...let me just tell you.

So, after much thought, I decided to just do it! Yea..me...an entrepreneur....crazy right? For the sake of those who read regularly (or err umm when I post) I won't bore you with the background info. If you haven't read the post, click here. I planned, prepared and most importantly, I prayed for guidance and confidence. However, I quickly learned that no matter how much you prepare, you will always encounter challenges.

After returning from New York City, I found that an entire order of mugs were ruined! Okay, maybe ruined is a bit much, but there was an imprint issue---the writing is so small you need a microscope! So naturally, I contacted my supplier and tried to negotiate and create a win/win situation for the both of us. ::starts to panic:: Again, challenges! To make a very long (and boring) story short, I was partially compensated for the error. So, I have a ton of mugs at home that I'll never use. I guess I'll just donate them :) Unfortunately, this really discouraged me because not only did I lose money, but I had to explain this to my oh so understanding customers. Now, I'm huge on customer service and the last thing I wanted, was to ruin my brand.

So, what's the end result? Thanks for asking :)
1) I have a full stock of God's Timing is Perfect
2) A NEW (finally) stock of Proverbs 31
3) For the moment--I am suspending the Psalm 139: 14 (fearfully & wonderfully made) mug until I can make a few necessary adjustments. If you ordered this mug and I have NOT contacted, I will do so by end of business tomorrow.
4) I will be releasing 2 new designs in the coming weeks

GOOD NEWS! You guys can now order through my blog until my website goes live. Here's a step by step (really simple):
Step 1: Visit www.natoyasanders.blogspot.com
Step 2: Look to the right & you'll see a PayPal tab
Step 3: Simply choose which design you want and click "add to cart" and you will then be directed to paypal.com
If you would like to purchase multiple mugs, simply select "continue shopping" and go back to Step 2!

What did I learn?
I learned that....
...life happens
...it's not the end of the world
...mistakes challenges = growth
...I made the best decision EVER by launching sweethoney's
...God's timing truly is perfect.
