Bold is defined as not hesitating or being fearful in the face of actual or possible danger; courageous and daring.
I've always considered myself to be quiet, shy and reserved. But as an entreprenuer I'm not sure these are the qualities that will take my business to the next level. I realize that I HAVE to get BOLD!!!! That means there's no time for being so scared, unsure or intimidated that I hold back from walking through new doors of opportunities.
GET BOLD!
I remember last year around this time I said I was going to push myself even harder and as I look back over these past few months that's exactly what I've done. I've been able to get out on the road a whole lot this year bragging on THE GREY BUTTON. Several trunk shows, festivals, private showings and exclusive parties....... It has been A-MAZING! Now I am planning the next chapter. Time to move this operation out of the basement and go BIG TIME!
I've been able to start and grow this business with little to no debt which has been a blessing. But I never saw this venture as a simple "crafty" business. I am crazy enough to believe that THE GREY BUTTON would one day compete with the big names in the handbag world! In order to do so I need to grow the team by bringing on people who not only see my vision, but have the same work ethic, dedication and love for the product as I do, while also adding value with their particular skillset. If that's you.....let's talk! Where I was once nervous about this step, I am now extremely optomistic!
Go BIG or go HOME!
Keeping in theme with being BOLD, I came all out of my comfort zone with an edgy night time photo shoot with my favorite photographer/friend, Ray Howard. Shooting with him is always super easy and relaxed.......and this one was no different. I suggested we try something different and he ran with it! Moonlight, black leather and sheer was the theme and I love how the pictures turned out, I'm telling you, if you need a photographer, you just found him.....his name is RAY!
I can't wait to see what God has planned for the next chapter of THE GREY BUTTON'S story!
