Is it possible to be overwhelmed by too many good things happening at once? Yes, if only for a moment...
In the last two days I met the wonderful girl who runs LeavenLifestyle.com who wants to feature one of my suits on her site, I spoke with the owner of The Bikini Room who wants me to manufacture her own line of suits for her store and signed me up to do a small runway show in few weeks (for which I need to provide models, suits, hats and posters) AND I was invited to be a merchant on ShopLately.com. All of this is fantastic news! To get all this news all at once? A little overwhelming...
So for about 15 minutes my mind raced thinking about all the things I need to do to get ready for these new opportunities combined with my current need-to-do list and I almost, repeat, almost got scared. Can I do all of this? Will I have the time? What if I can't? I don't want to disappoint anyone! STOP. No more of that kind of talk.
Then I started thinking about how this is exactly what I want to happen and how amazing it is that I'm being recognized for my work and how lucky I am to be offered these kind of opportunities so early in my business...and you know what? I CAN DO THIS. This is my passion. This is what motivates me. I am creating. I'm jumping in, I'm moving forward, I am thankful. I love this. This is all part of it, part of succeeding, part of putting myself out into the world...and I can do this. Overwhelming? yeah, maybe...but only for a moment.
Taryn, we enjoy and admire what you are doing.
ReplyDeleteMy wife, Esther, is experienced with fashion shows both as a model and as producer. She would be glad to help organize if you need, at no charge.
Our teenage daughter loves your bikinis too.
Keep up the good work! mrbobkaden@mac.com
