WBS Magazine - Issue 2

I got cracking on all the
processing, migrating of data and
ordering of stock and fast
forward 3 months from the end of
pre-orders they were officially
ready for market and in my hands.
We cautiously ordered hundreds
and hundreds of extras as we
wondered whether we’d
exhausted our warm market,
whether anyone outside of our
friends list would actually want to
purchase one.
"WE’D SOLD OUT
WITHIN 6 SHORT
But they did.
We’d sold out within 6 weeks and
it wasn’t even the end of the year
yet. What a great problem to
have you would think? Well no.
We’d made errors. We hadn’t
factored in GST, freight costs,
ASIC charges, fees charged from
banks and Pozible amongst
others. So, I was reluctant to
order more as with any printing
production there are so many
variables like the style of print,
the volume etc. So, as a brand
new start up the decision was
made not to reprint…something I
now still ask myself “what if?”.
What if we did and sold out of
those as well. Still to this day (and
its now June) do I receive
messages from people wanting
one of our My Mindful Year
Pliaries (I call them a Pliary
because they are Planner and
Diary all in one).
So yes, the word pronounced
Diary with a Pl is a word I’ve
created which is unique to My
Mindful Year.
Twelve months on I’ve built a
tribe of people that I’m proud to
say are my Biz Besties, a
community of people that I can
share the highs and lows with and
just get it and, more importantly,
know themselves that someone
else has shit days just like them.
I’m more and more confident with
where I’m at, with talking about
my journey and I now feel blessed
that my son has taught me so
much because its lead me to
where I am now. A nomination
and finalist in a National Biz Mum
awards for Best Life and Business
Clarity and a growing connection
with my 2 year old whom I’m
starting to understand a whole lot
better.
He really has taught me so much.
He’s taught me how to laugh
uncontrollably at the small
things, that mindset is
everything when you hit rock
bottom, isolation is in the mind
because there is always - and I
mean always - someone to talk
to if you put your hand up and
ask. Most importantly he’s
taught me calm, positive
language framework and
gratitude of personal growth… I
can’t thank him enough. I have a
growing start up - its taking
small steps in the right direction.
They don’t need to be HUGE, nor
do I compare my business or
journey with that of others for
this is unique to ME.
