Dream Big But Take Time To…
Wow! Thank You for supporting the first 30 days of our new business. We have already learned a lot! If you have ever owned a small business, participated in a craft show, or even just hosted a yard sale you know the awesome feeling you get from that first customer, and the next one, and the next one... But it quickly comes to a halt when the sales slowdown, or you start to run low on product, or you think about that one extra craft you shoulda/coulda created, etc. You start to panic and question the dream you set forth to conquer. That is the time you must stop and remind yourself to “Dream Big But Take Time To Enjoy the Journey.”
As we transitioned into the Fall season (which will quickly transition into the Holiday season) I put this very quote above on my bulletin board. Mindfulness is a trendy buzz word these days and a big part of social-emotional learning. It’s about paying attention to the moment. It’s hard to slow down and notice things in a busy world. I’ve been sharing this website with a lot of potential customers lately. (Hey-if you are reading this blog today-I Appreciate You! Wink.) A lot of these potential customers “back burner” it. Others have taken the time to (at least) sign up for our email list (and receive a FREE Digital Sampler of award-winning Growing Sound songs). Others have followed us on our Facebook/Instagram social media pages. And yet still others take time to peruse our products and even place an order. Fact is, I’m grateful for all of it. Some journeys take time to travel. And that’s OK.
If you feel like you ARE ready to place an order with us, I invite you to use Promo Code LetsPlay20 at checkout. That will earn you a 20% discount off your first order (minimum $20). And we still have our FREE SHIPPING on orders over $75+ available. Grab your favorites now before they sell out. Or come back and visit us again to see new products we are adding. We’re still focusing on products for early learners (Birth-Age 8).
And of course, if you ever want to drop us a note you can do so via email, or through our contact page. We welcome your feedback, comments, collaborations, and encouragement. info@gsplayandlearn.com
