Hello, dear friends!
Today, I'm excited to take you on a journey—a journey of those 'Aha!' moments that can truly change the course of your life.
The Pattern of fitting in
For the longest time, I walked the same path as everyone else, convinced that "This is how it's done." But as time passed, I began to feel unfulfilled and overwhelmed, like I was trying to squeeze into a mold that wasn't designed for me. I struggled with this. I constantly felt as if I did not belong because I did not do or see things the way everyone else did. The way I interpreted life, handled stress, and I found doing "all the things" a waste of time. It was at this point that I started asking myself some vital questions:
These questions became my guiding light, leading me to a profound realization—I have the power to create systems tailored to my unique needs, whether in my personal life, my business, or my career. I needed a system for handling the things I though were important.
Â
I made a change
One pivotal moment occurred during my college years when I discovered that my ideal study methods weren't tucked away in a blog post or hidden behind a cute Pinterest tip. Instead, it was about understanding what I truly needed—a clear plan. When overwhelmed, my brain often froze, making decision-making a challenge, and my to-do list seemed to grow endlessly. It was then that I paused and realized the importance of crafting a plan that encompassed what I already knew, what was left to learn, and how to effectively utilize that information. My plan was unlike anything I found on the internet—it included self-care, patience, and leveraging my strengths, which involved color coding and charts. It was not what others thought and many would say it would not work. But it did for ME.

Facing It again
Fast forward to today, and my business, Magical Lemonz, experienced rapid growth. I found myself unprepared and facing a mountain of stress. To make matters worse, I lost all my data—every invoice, pattern, note, and order vanished into the digital abyss. Generic solutions were simply not sufficient. The conventional wisdom suggested things like:
- Finding your target audience
- Establishing a "niche" or a particular item to be known for
- Investing in expensive invoice tracking systems
- Adopting selling platforms that came with hefty price tags
That's when I knew it was time to develop my 'Magical Plan,' a strategy that would streamline processes and help me regain control. This plan was a reflection of my strengths, weaknesses, and my vision for my business. I went back to my questions this time with my business in mind.

The Plan
Here's how I tackled those challenges:
- Finding your target audience: My target audience is YOU! I create custom items for every season of your life.
- Having a "niche": As for my 'niche,' I want Magical Lemonz to be your go-to for unique, budget-friendly finds that add a touch of enchantment to your life.
- Invoice tracking systems: I opted for a trusty spreadsheet to track, which I now keep backed up in multiple places.
- Selling platforms: I established a website through Square that is seamlessly linked to Magical Lemonz. No need to search elsewhere to make a purchase—you can use your card and order right from your phone from items that are ready to ship!
