ENTRY TWENTY NINE: Love
Well this week has felt like Simple Prints didn’t even really exist, for good reason though. My brother got married on Thursday! It was super special and I felt very privileged to be there celebrating with them. It was in Hahei, the venue was beautiful! What’s also quite cool, on top of not really putting any time or energy into Simple Prints this week I still had three orders come through! For YTD Shopify says I’ve made $988.56 so far this year in revenue. It’s really motivating - it may seem like such a small amount but to be honest I really thought I’d be struggling to bring in 3 or 4 orders in total but I’ve generated a lot more than that! It goes to show consistency really helps. Keeping it super short this week since I didn’t really do any work. I just remembered something else cool too though, I had a friend order from London so it meant I had to source a local supplier. I did that and it’s being delivered, if all goes well it means I can start sending orders to the UK! So that’ll be on the agenda for the future. Anyway - lets get into the details of this week.

I didn’t really do the drawing challenge this week! Eeek so I’m going to do it two times each day this week instead to make up for it. I’ll also look to figure out some structure again in prep for my meeting on Monday with my mentor!
Lots of love - hope things are going well, we can do this! Sam
