This is why I will ALWAYS value community over competition. Not only was I able to help out a fellow business owner in need, but she also helped me with an issue I was having with my laser. Jess and I are largely in the same market, both in product and geographic area, but that doesnāt matter. Thereās room for all of us to succeed!
Also, small business friends make the best friends! š
Just wanted to share a little small biz love to Izzy & Grace Handmade, my glimmer of sunshine today! If you have a minute to check out her beautiful work, you wonāt regret it (and she even has a fall launch tomorrow!)
Some people know that literally since school let out in June, Iāve hit unresolved problems with my workhorse laser in my shop.
Itās been two months, and not only is the original issue not solved but now thereās a new one as well.
This morning, I woke up in a small state of panic mixed with a little bit of sweat (tmi, but real life) over orders that I need to get out the door.
Adrianne responded to my early morning message without hesitation, opening her workshop to me, and Iām so grateful.
And not only could I knock out several orders⦠but hey, we got her machine fixed up too š¤
Community over competition is such a beautiful thing!
