π PSA: WE ARE TAKING A SHORT BREAK π
After six incredible years of The Real Florist, I've been reflecting on some of the biggest lessons I've learned as a small business owner.
Running a business that is so loved by our community, living my lifelong dream of teaching floristry, and launching She Deserves has been more rewarding than I ever could have imagined. And I have achieved far more than 6 year ago me ever set out to do!!! π₯°
But one of the most important lessons?
Burnout is not a badge of honour.
You can't pour from an empty vase.
So after a very big few months, my family and I are taking a well-deserved break.
π THE REAL FLORIST WILL BE CLOSED
Friday 19th through to Monday 22nd
π We will reopen on Tuesday 23rd with our new Winter trading hours of 8am-2pm.
Thank you for your understanding, your support and for allowing us to do what we love every day.
While we're away, I thought I'd share some of the biggest lessons I've learned over the last six years in business..... I was going to pick SIX, but if you know me, I generally have alot to say ππ
So, here are my TOP lessons I have learnt over the past 6 years ππ
See you Tuesday flower lovers ππ
Love Renee π
