Happy Winter!
The snow is here!! Oh my gosh, it has snowed more than a foot this week and it has been a difficult transition getting THIS much snow from one day to the next!
In the first two weeks of November, I started 5 new huge projects - this is definitely the busiest I have ever been - which is crazy because we are in the slow season right now.
SO looking at the growth and wanting to be set up well for next year -- I can't beleive we are so close to 2025 and all that is to come, I decided to hire an assistant just to help out with our install days. This way I can focus less on unboxing a thousand items and actually getting set up.
I also had a lovely Facetime with my old-time friend from high school - we have kept in touch over the past 10 years and she is currently on Maternity leave with her beautiful baby boy.
She has been my biggest cheerleader and support since day 1 of Design Dreams and I could not be more grateful for her. We caught up and talked about her possible role in the company going forward (working behind the scenes) and since I did not have any time to prepare for our meeting, she organized it, led it, had an itinerary and it honestly felt like a weight had been taken off my shoulders!
This is what I needed.
I needed someone to take the lead, two years after running operations, invoicing, social media, client consultations, design, set up, staging… and the list goes on, it can take a toll on you. There are no sharing tasks between coworkers, this is when I knew I made the right decision bringing some amazing girls on board.
I believe there is strength in numbers and asking for help is NOT a sign of weakness. Now that I have a support system behind me and people who can take on some responsibility
- I can focus on what I’m good at -
Design.
This leap is a game-changer!
Who knows where this company will go? I have no idea but I am so excited about the possibilities!
Taking the leap can be scary but it is only when we leave our comfort zones -
We Grow.
