It started a long, long time ago. That is, thinking about opening a second store, though certainly nothing serious. Then we found out Layla was going to have a baby brother or sister so all those potential plans were put on hold as a very conscious decision that this time, it was all about the family.
Then in 2013, Christian arrived, and he was about 6 months old when I was playing with him and I looked in his eyes and thought, ‘okay, let’s go.’
This is what I would call the very, very start of a very, very large snowball in the lead up to opening a new business. (or a large scary storm, but a snowball is nicer).
Because once that conscious decision was made, then all the steps start to take place. They start slowly at first, gaining momentum, getting faster and faster as the process moves along, until the final end of it when you (hopefully) open the doors and you’ve made it.
