The race is on

WOW, is the first word that comes to mind! The response I'm recieving on these boots is amazing. I'm really wishing I had twenty pair already made up and ready to sell. I have to admit, this week has been a whirlwind and my brain is seriously spinning! There's one thing about the internet and that is, it moves FAST. Word spreads FAST, people want results and answers FAST and you better be ready!

I'm still searching for a wholesaler to buy quality boots from. I found one in China! Can you believe this! I was a little leary about ordering from China, but a new found friend (and customer) said her business has ordered from them and they've been great. They also will send samples so you can see if the quality is what you are looking for.

First order of business. Order a sample in a size 9 and make a pair for MYSELF! How can I sell these babies if I don't have a pair! Silly me!

My business license was approved yesterday and I received an email this morning with my ID#'s. We are IN BUSINESS! Need to order business cards, tags, anything else? I'm not even kidding, I feel like since I have been out of school my brain has been on vacation and now that it has to work, it IS TIRED! I'm mentally exhausted and it's only just begun! Toughen up girl, we're going to ride this out!

Also wanted to thank my Mom for giving me the SHOVE I needed to JUST DO IT! One little facebook post and a business was born. Amazing. And thank you to Tiff for coming up with Bootylicious. It makes me giggle every time I say it. It's perfect. It's clever. I LOVE IT! And Beyonce says it best in her song, "I don't think you're ready for this!"

And thank you to all my family members and friends who are spreading the word on facebook. You're support is greatly appreciated. I'm gonna need you!
