Just do it!

Why am I so hesitant?  What am I waiting for?  Why am I stalling?  Am I afraid to take the chance?  Am I scared to fail?  Am I just depressed because it's cold and dark and snowy all. The. TIME?

I did a few shows this fall with my soaps.  I did well.  I did well at Christmas.  I've had a few offers to sell on consignment and I want to take up those offers which is where all of the questions bombard me.

#1 - $30/month for the space.  Six months to be paid in advance = $180.  I'd have to sell 60 bars to make up for that, plus sell 10 bars a month to keep up.  I'm not willing to risk that yet.  Nope.

#2 - "Call me, we'll work something out".  So?  What's the problem?

#3 - "You can sell here if you'd like."  Okay, and now I need to revamp my line a little to do that.  Not that I'm being asked to but, because I have so much respect for this place and the people that I want to give them only the best.  Essential Oils, natural products, and made when I'm at my best.  I don't feel like I'm at my best.

I am a little discouraged.  I was hoping for at least some new contacts - maybe some re-orders by now.  My nephew said - "Aunt Gail - not everyone showers 3 times a day every day like you do - we normal people don't go through soap THAT fast!"  He's right - and I'm trying to remember that and my soap lasts about twice as long as a store bought soap, plus most people bought 3/4 bars to give as gifts - and that might take some extra time to get through.  Though if you know how impatient I am...you know how hard this is for me!  To wait - to just wait...

That said.

I'm just gonna do it!  I am!  Plain and simple.  I'm going to move forward and do it!

I'm going to make Tangerine soap with Essential Oil and Lavender soap too.  I'm gonna take those to #3 and sell 'em!

I'm going to call #2 and work out an agreement and get an assortment of soaps in her store too!
I'm even going to approach another store and see what I can do there!

I'm going to make my lip balm as planned.  And see what my testers think of it.

I'm going to get cracking on these Valentine's Day soaps.  They're conversation hearts - but soap! 

I'm going to post more pictures and get my website on the move!

I just going to do it!
