Happy September!!
This summer, we celebrated **8 years since we created blendabowl!** 🥹💜
As a small business owner, you go through so many highs and lows that sometimes you forget to stop and celebrate what you’ve actually created.
For us, it started in September 2017, sitting on our back deck with an idea.
Creating something from nothing is not easy. Neither my husband nor I are originally from Maryland, and when we started, we didn’t have a big local network or community of people waiting to support us. We were simply taking a chance on an idea we believed in.
Eight years later, we give thanks every day for the community that has grown around blendabowl. 💜
So for my monthly post, instead of telling you all about blendabowl, I want to use this little space to encourage **YOU.**
If you have an idea or a dream you keep thinking about…go for it.
Don’t wait for the perfect time or until every duck is perfectly in a row. Create a plan, give yourself some direction, and take the first step.
We had people tell us we were crazy. We heard that we’d be back at our old jobs within six months. I even had a boss encourage me to take a leave of absence instead of quitting—“just in case.”
And you know what? They weren’t necessarily wrong to be cautious. Nothing is guaranteed. We certainly didn't know where this would go either.
But if we had never tried, blendabowl wouldn't exist.
So I hope this reaches even **one person** who has an idea they’ve been afraid to pursue. I can’t wait to see what you create. 😉 And if you ever need a cheerleader—or just someone who understands how lonely entrepreneurship can sometimes feel—reach out. 💜
Okay…now back to what I actually do best: blending up delicious açaí bowls, smoothies and cold-pressed juices in our gluten-, peanut- & dye-free space. 😂
If you haven't tried blendabowl yet, we'd love to welcome you in. And if you already know and love us, sharing us with a friend is one of the greatest compliments you can give a small business. 🥰
Thank you for supporting this little idea that started on our back deck 8 years ago. 💜
