    You’re doing the best you can, what more can you do! Give yourself time to adjust to being a small business owner, a new mum and still a wife!! You have a wonderful bunch of huns and we all love you endlessly!! Whatever you do we’re all so proud of you! Love you xxx

    God I feel you there! I’ve got a 6 month old and I have been preparing a wax melt business for 6 months so since he was a baby, I launched this week and I never realised how hard it would be as well as making all the products myself, no one to help and looking after my baby. Then people don’t understand the shipping charges so they don’t buy because they don’t want to pay towards shipping but unlike big business I can’t afford to fork out free delivery by myself. It’s so hard!

    Hi Imogen, I've been a subscriber since 2017 but have never commented before! I really appreciated this chat and honesty as a fellow small business owner 🙌 I constantly see/hear such glamourized versions of being an entrepreneur so when I started my business last year I felt like I must be getting everything wrong because I constantly felt clueless and doing everything yourself can feel so overwhelming and daunting. It's so refreshing to see a fellow small business owner speak about how hard it can be at times so thank you!! 💗Please don't feel embarrassed about talking about the obstacles you've faced, be proud you're carrying on and facing them! We need more honesty, especially in the social media/entrepreneur space so thank you for making me feel less alone and having someone to relate to 🥺You are doing incredibly well!! 💕Hope you're having a super lovely weekend angel xx

    I appreciate & applaud your honesty Imogen. It's so easy for us just to see the good parts of you tubers lifes & believe that everything is rosy so to open up like that reminds us of how real you actually are& so many of us can relate so much more with you. Thank you for being honest. I'm so low tonight with my daughter being away at her dad's house & you just bring a little bit of sunshine where it just feels a little dark. 💛🌠✌

    You’re so humble, I have never watched a CZcams that’s so real and relatable and that’s so refreshing for people like myself who constantly worries about money and my home and just not being good enough because I don’t have the millions the other CZcamsrs have but I’m 0n a mental health journey to appreciate what I have now and watching you brings me that peace and joy I need. You’re a reminder a good like isn’t fancy things but instead it’s family and love. I support your eco friendly style too, I’m huge on that. You’re hard working and my inspiration in life, many of my conversations you pop up because your my role model. Your lifestyle is my goal. We’re renovating a home right now and these clogs encouraged us to go to wren and do it so we’re now waiting for our 2 hour appointment next week. Thank you for being you💛 also I’d love it if you could back the campaign to save the bees and overturn the government’s choice to use extremely toxic pesticides that will harm us and pollinators

    Love your videos Imogen! I also run a small business and I find planning the content way ahead helps - you can also schedule your content (for Instagram) via Facebook creative suite for weeks in advance so you can always do that and let the content post automatically so you don’t have to worry about it! hope that helps xx

    It’s also really healthy to show the inevitable duality of our world. Sometimes positivity isn’t healthy if it isn’t authentic. Your aura and spirit is joyful and that comes through even during difficult times. You’re amazing and I love you ❤️

    Hi Imogen, just to let you know, you can select the option ‘bcc’ and then add your email addresses in and it blind copies everybody in. They will all receive the email but can’t see each other’s email addresses :) x

    @nymenawitch Před 2 lety +1

    I totally agree - I have 2 small businesses and it’s so hard being consistent. I try buying from small businesses myself as much as possible too. But I’m not doing it with a baby (my son has ASD but is nearly 17 - so ups and downs) xx hugs and well done.
    I have a Cricut Joy and have started my personalised business with it alongside my Body shop at home

    Also well done for speaking out on your brand problems because nobody ever talks about the bad and I find the same thing in my industry and I am the same very open and honest good, bad, happy and sad and I think being an influence via social media you have a responsibility to be real and raw and that's why I love you so much 💕

    What would be an amazing idea is if you created an home built storage shed at the bottom of your garden I have no clue what they are called because at least then you can store your packages there and still work from home, you’re doing amazing. Please try not to stress so much I know it’s easier said than done but your my favourite CZcamsr and you worry me sometimes and sometimes it’s not worth your health, you need to be 100% for Renalia. We all love you x

    Hey Imogen!! I know Sarah Ashcroft the owner of SLA the label she has spoken about literally every drop she does something goes very wrong! Like the samples wont even make it in time or the final units didnt even come in time for launch! I know what you mean, dont feel disheartened this does happen, people just dont really talk about it
    Im so sorry to hear that this has been happening 😔😔hopefully you’ll have more luck next time❤️

    Your doing so well just think that most people have a baby and then they are on maternity for 9-12 months and you’ve literally not just jumped back in making videos and editing and doing brand deals and Instagram stuff but also running a whole business from development to promotion to fulfilment while ALSO renovating and running a home all of that with a new born Aswell I don’t know how you have the time in the day 😭 I work 37.5 hours a week and I barely do anything else 🤣 also holla at your girl if you want help with hunny store content/socials I’m not using my media production degree skills anywhere else atm😅

    Please don’t stress too much about Instagram I work in digital marketing and the amount of followers on a page doesn’t equate to how successful it is
