This is real from my heart, so listen up. When you own a business, you have to own the business. Don't let anything go by without first checking and re-checking. You will avoid mishaps if you look at it through discerning eyes that have your interest in check. No one can see your dreams better than you can. No one can make them happen for you either. So it's important to make sure you always have last looks on everything.
Today I received some gift cards in the mail from an online print shop. The cards were printed wrong with the wrong copy. I can only blame myself for not having the last looks before they went out to the printers. It's going to cost me PR for this weekend, but I learned and will come back with a vengeance to never let that happen again. Lessons are good, and learning them early in the game is even better. l'Amore Intimo has only been online for 2 and a half months, and things will get better when the e-commerce site is up and running. Plus I still have a charity event before years end - this should bring in some PR with the right press release going out about it.
That's all I got. No -- one more thing. The Chocolate Sweet (rose flavored) and the Chocolate Heat (cayenne pepper flavored) candy that I gave away last night for a ladies movie night out - went over huge! They all raved about both flavors. Now I just need the right molds to form the perfect rose and heart.

Positive Reflection
Yesterday's post ended with positive reflection. Today I open this post with positive reflection. I saw it today.
I have been working on everything I can motivated myself to work on once I get home from my 8.5 hours in the office. This week I finished the Dodger blue dress for a birthday present and took on solid chocolate making. Last time we made truffles that were awesome, but I wanted to try molding solid pieces of chocolate. Without a thermometer, it's not accurate and doesn't work well. I did get some beautifully delicious rose chocolates or chocolate sweet and cayenne pepper chocolate or chocolate heat made.
This morning I boxed a Chocolate Sweet (Rose) solid heart in a brown linen box and tied a l'Amore Intimo blue ribbon around it. I thought the package was brilliant. I gave it to a co-worker who always greet me each morning with a smile. She wasn't expecting it but admitted how Friday's are her favorite day and holding up the box with a grateful smile, she added "this is why". This was a nice thank you.
The day went one with lots of reading for the job and after lunch she called me. What she said was humbling and right on time. She told me thank you again, and added that from the packaging to the flavor the chocolate was simply perfect. She went on to add her sincere wishes for l'Amore Intimo to grow bigger than big. WOW! Confirmation when things seems slow that it is all worth it.
Forge ahead is what I will do. Thank you.
