Its been five days since my website went live, yet no one is ordered. Ok they say "just as you read in books that it takes a while before people start to order from your site or begin to get to terms with new products that are on offer, I must confess that am really anxious. The website statistics shows mostly my IP address. Ok may be a few friends but!
There is still a lot of work to be done, but I honestly decided to lunch the site and the company with 35 products, with the rest of the ranges coming soon, to be added latter even though I have created 64 products. I don't want to take on too much at a time. It would be to much to do at the same time.
due to reasons such as
1. We are moving home in approximately a weeks time. Builders have been in there for the past three month, I wish it all went as planned we could have moved in sooner and got settled in preparation for everyying else.
2. I resume uni on Monday (Final year mother of 2, mature student's Hons Business law & Marketing) . How time flies, unbelievable that I have been on holiday since June, I spent it in front of the computer working to get my company running and website go live, and am ending it in front of a computer working, But with my site live and no bucks, but with loads of achievement and focused thought to the beginning of better things to come.
3. My son is back to nusery on Monday since I caged him at home with me, he was allowed to only play in the garden, watch telly, play in our local park after we pick his sister from school for 5 min which last like 30 after I remember how am depriving the children of play and spending my time working and working and working, am I a workaholic?
Sometimes, i belive this is part what you must do if you want to see things happen you have to make sacrifices only that I make sure its balanced.
4. My daughter starts a new after school club on monday, she has to be picked up by 6pm, ok people am alive and i will be stocking up on ginseng for energy
what will be the point running round like a hampster to pick two children from different places everyday, before finally settling down to make dinner for the family. Is this what everyone else does or? well i will be back running round like a h

The beginning
This is the most challenging thing I ever done for now, apart from getting married and having children.
Ok! I hear you say, yeah right another one of those start up stories, the same thing I say after reading another inspirational start up book and "how they made it" yet I still have Richard Branson's book (Losing my virginity on the shelf) which I haven't finished reading .
However, there are quiet a few books that I read and enjoyed very much;
i was out looking to buy coffee in the nearest coffe republic shop except that i could't find any, don't blame me i only just moved here.
and other books and other books followed. But one thing I felt whilst reading the coffee republic story was, i felt they were playing safe with words and especially the availability of finance.
no one seems to tell the real story of how hard it really is setting up a business and how realistic projections seem to become unrealistic.
The good and bad days, physically, emotionally, shouting match days, PMS days (blessed are those who are absolutely normal) and all the "who sent me days" and " why am i even doing this" days.
prepare yourself for the real start-up story that will change your life and inspire you to empower yourself regardless of what dreams you dare.

However, there are quiet a few books that I read and enjoyed very much;
- when I read Goodbye jimmy choo by Ann Sanders recommended by Tina in an Italian restaurant on Green lanes London. I loved every part and almost felt I was in the village with them setting up their skincare company
- Then I read White ladder diaries by Ros Jay I was so inspired and was on the internet straight away checking out her website and web designers.
