Finding Hope Amidst the Struggles of Small Business Ownership
Dear Friends,
As a small business owner, do you ever feel like you're standing at a crossroads, surrounded by endless possibilities, yet unsure which path to take next? Right now, I'm feeling the weight of a thousand decisions pressing down on me, and I can't help but wonder if I'm frozen in place, unable to move forward.
My journey began with what I knew best – chickens and baking. But it was the frustration of struggling to find gentle, natural bath products that truly spoke to me and my sensitive skin that sparked the birth of Little Blue Roost bath bombs. It started as a project I could manage in a short amount of time, but now, as I stand on the threshold of countless opportunities, I find myself overwhelmed.
Here's a little secret: Little Blue Roost isn't my first venture into the world of small business. Over the years, I've explored various ideas from digital marketing to photography, but they all faltered, not because they lacked merit, but because I lacked the personal motivation and discipline to see them through.
You see, I've spent the better part of my adult life in the healthcare field, realizing only recently that it wasn't where my heart truly lay. I was spending more time navigating bureaucracy than caring for those in need. Then, somewhere between failed endeavors and the soul-crushing demands of my career, I found solace in God.
Now, as I navigate the tumultuous waters of entrepreneurship once again, I'm striving to surrender my own desires and ambitions to a higher purpose. I'm learning to quiet my mind and listen for the guidance of the Holy Spirit, allowing the will of the Father to be my guiding force.
But in this moment, I'm vibrating with excitement, struggling to resist the urge to dive headfirst into every opportunity that presents itself. So I turn to you, my friends, for support and understanding. Remind me that it's okay to slow down, to take my time, and to listen for the still, small voice that whispers direction in the chaos.
Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for your unwavering support – whether it's subscribing to our emails or following us on social media. Your presence is felt, your encouragement is cherished, and together, we will navigate this journey with hope in our hearts and faith as our guide.
With gratitude and warmest regards,
Amy Silva
Founder of Little Blue Roost
