Still Paying the price of
BAD BUISNESS DECISIONS ! Please be careful who you hire! Not everybody is honest. 
They Said It Couldn’t Be Done. I Did It Myself.
Sometimes you have to share the expensive lessons of starting a business. For well over a year and a half, I paid for two major things: a completed website and business plan. Neither was delivered.
I want to be fair — I’m not perfect either. I was learning, may have misunderstood things, and sometimes may have taken longer than I should have. But when I was asked for research or materials, I provided them.
Five completed blogs sat in the shared folder for months and were never added. I was told my original website couldn’t support blogging, so I switched systems and moved 300+ products.
Then came more delays, third-party software, an unfinished business email and Shopify customizations that made the site harder for me to maintain.
I also had a potential investor, but still no business plan, so I created my own investment packet. I later paid another $400 to renew the business-plan software because it still wasn’t finished.
I opened my business in April without either major deliverable.
Now I’ve spent August repairing and rebuilding the website myself — pages, products, GA, calculators and even code.
And I’m discovering that many things I was told couldn’t be done actually could. Even the font Shopify supposedly couldn’t support? I found it, installed it and changed it myself.
After all of this, I was told they had gone “above and beyond” and I should be thankful.
I am thankful — for the lesson.
If you’re building a business: vet who you hire and get deliverables and deadlines in writing.
Still a work in progress — but finally
MY website and MY vision.
Not perfect. Just determined. ❤️
Kibble is dead. Long live raw.
