"Remember when you dreamed of being where you're at now?" -- I've seen this quote a lot on IG lately & I'm not sure it's because more people are posting it or if it's because it speaks to me so personally of where I'm at in my business & life right now.⠀
⠀
The simple fact is, our Newburgh store is doing more in sales and profits than our two brick & mortars ever did combined. It's astounding. It's amazing. And it brings me to tears every time I'm able to slow down enough to think about it. ❤️
⠀
I don't know what changed. I don't know if it's because I gave my heart for everyone to see -- the good, the bad, the great, the hard parts of my life. Or if it's because I started truly listening to myself and what I wanted for this business & our community instead of asking for approval from others. ⠀
⠀
I've owned my own business now for 7.5 years, and every year it seemed like I could never get to where I wanted to be. And now that I'm there, I find myself thinking "what's next? where do I go from here? what's my next big dream?"⠀😍
⠀
But, part of me also wants to slow down. Breathe in where I'm at with my business & just simply enjoy the ride. I love everything JOELLE + CO is becoming. I love our community. I love our team. I love everything we stand for. So for now, I breathe that in & fill my heart with all the gratefulness I feel. 💗💗
