I feel guilty

100 Essays on FoundHer #79

I stopped being consistent with posting on my company’s instagram page. I was kind of right when I said earlier on that I felt that i couldn’t handle all that and this simultaneously and that i felt like it would burn me out. It didn’t, but that doesn’t mean the match wasn’t already lit for a good ol’ roast.

I believe i gave it a shot —not once not twice —and i guess the third time’s a charm.

Handling a business solo is on level 10 difficulty. I have to be able to focus my strengths on one thing at a time as well as things I’m good at. That’s literally the best I’m able to do and give at this point. I am trying to focus on outreach and getting more users on to the platform and yes social media helps with that, but I think we have established that i’m not good with social media.

I feel guilty I won’t lie because i expected better from myself but at the same thing i also expected that it would turn out this way eventually, knowing me. Which isn’t entirely a bad thing.

I am reminding myself to take things slow, not to rush or be in a hurry because there’s no finish line. Absolutely none.

Finally, realizing that the flyers i handed out planted a seed, and whether it germinates or not, well, time will tell.

I plan on making more flyers with the new domain link and a static QR code this time (certainly learnt my lesson on that one) and also trying something I unconsciously learnt from an entrepreneur—which is wearing your brand’s merch. So I’ll get a baseball cap or a visor (probably the former) and have nadra and its logo on it and literally wear it around school. I might even have 5 made and then randomly give it out to sisters like a “special, limited edition” item or accessory.

Sounds like a plan!
