Progress Thread - Bootstrapping a Beauty Business

[Bellini]

Something tells me I've been incubating long enough
I totally feel like this little chick not wanting to come out of it's shell.


Quick update:

Still messing with labels and marketing angle but almost everything is done.

I decided to launch my skincare line on Etsy first to get started, so I have been building my Etsy store and getting advice from people. It's almost finished. I didn't realize how negative it was to launch with only one or two products, so I am trying to creatively overcome that.

My website has also been sitting there quite a while unpublished, as it did not need to go live yet. I have a few more tweaks there but will wait until after Etsy is done.

Things have been crazy the last 6 months. This past year I went to work for someone else, to help them in their entrepreneurial endeavors. It was a great learning experience for me but that has ended and now I'm ashamed of my procrastination with my own projects but am determined to pull through.

Will update again soon : )
