This is officially my first blog. The last two were done by my husband and a friend. I, with the help of my husband, have started a new on-line e-shop; www.noinkees.com This is my dream job (besides being a mom, and a wife.) I have worked in retail for over 18 years. Why for so long? I love people, shopping and managing. However, it started to get to me that I was taking ownership over the stores I managed yet they were not mine. All the doubts and scary unknowns kept me from starting anything for years, until my husband, who supports me all the way, said "poop or get off the pot!" ...So here I am... I work about 18 hrs a day; laundry, watching my daughter draw, vacuuming up the dog hair, walking the dog, getting the mail/ e-mails, doing errands, making sure the dog, and child have eaten, and maybe have 5 mins of silence until the child and dog are at eachother, but I love all of it.
I have done retail management for years, but when you own it, it's completely different. There is a passion for what you believe in. I had a coffee with a friend today. Yes I sat down and had some mommy time!. I found myself trying to confirm what I was doing was right, but I cannot expect everyone to believe in the same things. People do not change and we cannot expect them to, but we can offer education. For example (given by my friend), you can buy an inexpensive shirt for $7.00 and it may last for a couple of months, and buy another one in another couple of months, and so on and so on. Why wouldn't you buy one for $40.00 that would last for a two years and you end up saving money. So the inexpensive shirt really is not so inexpensive but cheap! Just a thought!
