The first quarter of the year was not good for CREATORS. By March 2011 I had already completed a baby shower, two adult birthday parties and closing in on one of the biggest weddings with two venues on opposite sides of town with 250 guest. I thought since I had a great year that 2012 would follow suit; however it came in like a lamb.
I was knocked off my high horse; I guess I need a reality check; I had been here before eight years ago when I decided to quit my job and start my own business. It's funny when you know your worth and try to show others.Oh I still had people inquiring about products and services; no contracts being signed and no deposits being made. My pride was hurt it was effecting my home life big time. See you know me as the owner and chief decorator of this out the box event planning company, but I wear so many more hats. Mom, Wife, daughter, sister, friend, aunt, niece, Birthday Party consultant to one of the oldest science museums in Philadelphia and more...
This took me to a state of depression. So with my down time I decided to redo my price list, get new marketing material, open a twitter account [@CREATORSevents] and promote more on my personal facebook page. I also shifted some of my focus to the scholarship foundation I had started.The C. Pink Scholarship foundation was started to help children who's parents were affected by breast cancer with college expenses. I created a facebook page to get the world out and lots of people showed interest so I decided to jump right into our first fundraiser that didn't do so well. This only added to the sadness that I was already feeling. Then I remembered a quote "Don't Dream ya Life Live ya Dreams" ~Miasha Colman {www.miasha.com}. This reminded me that I had come a long way and that if I had already made it this far there was no turning back now...........
