The reality? I donโt necessarily have more free time โ I have the freedom to choose what I do with my time. And this week, Iโve certainly been choosing to keep busy!
For those who donโt know me, Iโm Theresa, the owner of Everythingpersonalised4U, where I create personalised products and branded workwear for individuals, families, businesses and events.
So, what have I actually been up to this week?
โจ Answering client enquiries
โจ Designing new products and ideas
โจ Ordering stock
โจ Looking for new products to add to my ever-growing catalogue
โจ 5 client discovery calls
โจ Fulfilling orders
โจ Booking pop-ups
โจ Organising my second ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ซ๐ค๐๐ญ, taking place on 13th September
โจ Working behind the scenes on ๐ญ๐ฐ๐จ ๐๐ฑ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ง๐๐ฐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ that Iโm developing for my business โ both taking me in very different directions ๐
And then thereโs the weekendโฆ
Contrary to popular belief, weekends arenโt necessarily weekends when youโre self-employed! ๐
For me, weekends are often work days too, especially as this is when the majority of my ๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ-๐ฎ๐ฉ ๐ง๐ฎ๐ฆ๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ฌ go out. And that can also mean balloon decor, backdrops and table settings โ so thereโs plenty of loading, delivering, setting up and collecting involved.
But do you know what? ๐ ๐๐ก๐จ๐จ๐ฌ๐ ๐ข๐ญ. โค๏ธ
I choose to build my businesses.
I choose to try new things.
I choose to keep learning and developing.
And I choose to create something that Iโm genuinely proud of.
Thereโs a lot more to being self-employed than people see from the outsideโฆ but thatโs also what makes it so rewarding.
And these designs and products are just a little glimpse of what Iโve been working on this week. ๐ฅฐ
