<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/h2>\nShare a bit of your business journey! What did you do before you opened a shop and why did you open your business?<\/h3>\n
When I began my journey as a creative businesswoman in 2012, it was with paper mach\u00e8. I use to design, build and sell paper mach\u00e8 deer heads that I shipped all over the world through ETSY. Ultimately that business model was not sustainable, but I learned so much. Even our failures can be stepping stones to the greater things the Lord has planned for us. It was through this business that I began to experiment with decoupage. I couldn\u2019t find what I wanted anywhere, so I figured out a way to create it myself.<\/p>\n
After a while, my friends began requesting designs that fit their esthetic, so I would create them. I recognized the opportunities of the product, so I began to offer it. The response I received was almost overwhelming. After selling for a couple of years, I began getting messages from businesses that wanted to carry my product. Through divine intervention and appointed relationship building, I figured out a way to make it happen.<\/p>\n
I took my first wholesale order in September of 2019, and the rest is history. Today I have over 250 retailers who carry Roycycled Decoupage Paper in the US, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, New Zealand, and the UK. Honestly, it is still a little unreal for me. But every day I wake up grateful for all of it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Any struggles or lessons learned along the way? How do you overcome them?<\/h3>\n
So many!!<\/p>\n
Often we work to get “everything together” before we begin walking in our gift. One of the most important lessons I’ve learned in my journey is to start where you are with what you have, and figure things out along the way. The biggest thing I’ve learned this year is the importance of building a solid team to help you move forward.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Brag a little about your business, what are you most proud of?<\/h3>\n
I am the most proud of the fact that I am able to support so many small businesses with my business. Although I sell craft supplies, I believe the work I do bring joy into the hearts of my customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/h2>\nCan you tell us what your thoughts are on being a member of the Retailer’s Inner Circle?<\/h3>\n
I am a creative through and through. Being in the inner circle forces me to really see my business as a business. To do the hard boring stuff that it takes to keep my business moving forward. Taking time out to see my business as a CEO really enables me to see the bigger picture. To plan for the future.<\/p>\n
Not just dream, but to really plan based on the data I collect from my business on a regular basis.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/h2>\nWhat are you most excited about coming up for you and your business?<\/h3>\n
I have finally begun building my platform to host my online trainings, and I’ve already recorded two full courses. I’m super excited about expanding the e-training arm of my business.<\/p>\n
