This little stack of orders awaiting my next shipment of mailers gave me a sweet reminder of where I started. As I was packaging these, I started thinking about when I moved into my first apartment 8 years ago. My brother was helping me with the move and carried box after box of mailers up to my new space. He asked me why I had so many (I think there were only 4 or 5 boxes of 100, but I guess 400-500 mailers is quite a few for the quantity of orders I was getting at the time). I told him because it was a way better deal to order a bunch at once, due to bulk discounts and high shipping costs, knowing that I would be sitting on them for quite awhile. I canāt quite remember exactly, but Iām pretty sure a couple of those boxes ended up following me again in my next move the following year. BUT, since then I have had so many times where Iāve been anxiously awaiting shipments of those very boxes of mailers to get my orders out on time. I regularly order 400 at a time now and go through them within a few months (and at times, Iāve gone through them within a few weeks). This tells me two things:
1. I am really bad at planning ahead and ordering things on time.
And even more importantly:
2. Keep following your dreams in BULK. No amount of mailers is too many! š The more you have, the more you get to continue to fulfill!
Sometimes itās hard to appreciate where youāre at without the gentle reminders of how far youāve actually come. So hereās YOUR reminder to realize just how much progress youāve made in your own endeavors! š
