I named this website www.specialstrands.com and I am really excited for everything that's going to come after this. My intention, my goal, my heart's desire  is to write a short blog post every single week until December 31st 2025 and see what difference it makes in the life of my online and offline ventures. This is my Youtube while I am working up the courage to actually hit record. This is me sharing and building in public. This is my version of a behind the scenes look into my thought process on how to grow my life as well as my business.

Managing multiple priorities and platforms and online sites in order to do business is so confusing for me, and also distracting. I am a follow the bouncing ball kind of girl and it is really hard to FOCUS and then MULTITASK at the same time. I browser windows are infinite!!!! I am trying to change though. I am trying to grow and not give up on having a successful online business. 

In my mind, if I have the right online business then I can make more money while spending more time with my family, which is my ultimate goal. I am an only child and while I very much need my alone time, it makes me sad to have to work so much apart from my family. I like being a Hair Growth Specialist, however I very much dislike the amount of time I have to spend doing it. So here I go. 

Alright so these are the stats so far….

Website Details

My domain name won’t route properly….but i just tried something else that I am hoping will work but I have to wait 48 hours to see if i am right.  Frustration level is a 9 out of 10

Gloss Genius

I still have more styles to put on the site but I have made progress. I have decided to have only established clients use my website for now. I am still nervous but have checked out several clients using the app and I am getting the hang of it. I really like it so far. I have tapped into only about 10% of what this app can do so I will report back again once I have updated all of my services onto the site and onboarded all of my current clients. 

WIHD LEND Program

I am a little less stressed now that my first presentation uis behind me… whew!!!! I had to do a 15 minute graded Powerpoint presentation. I think I did a pretty good job. People seemed very interested which made me happy. 

Crochet

I finished my first sweater in October and forgot to tell you. The fact that I was able to focus on a long term project … AND FINISH IT ….in one month made me ecstatic. Now I am working on a sweater for my husband… fingers crossed. 

Well that's everything, … except the kids but I will update you on that in a different post very soon. 

If you like these updates please let me know. They bring me joy to do but I don’t want to bore you. So if you like the idea of me building in public in this way please drop a comment and let me know. Thanks .. until next time…love you and do you… unapologetically.
