Hi there! Welcome to the first edition of my newsletter. Glad to have you here π
This has been a busy month. My last day at work was at the beginning of this month, and since then life has felt like a step function.
Before, I was mainly focussed on wrapping things up at work while my wife was focussed on the baby. Since I quit, the roles have been reversed as she’s easing back into work and I’m caretaker during the workday.
Thank goodness for grandparents π
Updates π
- Launched a website for Charred Designs
- Started posting on Instagram for Charred Designs after a long hiatus
Lessons π
- It’s really difficult to work on projects when taking care of baby due to constant context switching πͺ
- Facebook Business is a neat tool for scheduling Facebook/Instagram posts all in one interface
- All the packaging I’ve known from small-businesses basically come from ULINE! π€―
- Example: I see these tin cans everywhere when buying Christmas presents (ex. shaving cream, lotions). Now I know the packaging source π
On My Mind π‘
As Jake says:
Sucking at something is the first step towards being sort of good at something
This is me sucking at something π. Imperfect action is better than perfect inaction.
Is there anything you’ve been stuck not starting?
Asks π
- Do you know anyone who’d be interested in wedding or special events decor? I may be able to help!
- ex. Wedding signs, name plates, cake toppers, etc.
