I’ve recruited my friend to help me sell Simply Beautiful by Sheela, but that’s old news… The new and good news is, she’s found a recipe for a body butter, and I LOVE IT! I applied some after my bath tonight and it is simply amazing. One product down…four more to go. I’m super duper excited to finally have a product that I’m completely satisfied with. All that time and money spent using the services of a professional was a hard lesson to learn, but a good one nonetheless.

Originally, her role was limited to marketing and selling the product from her home base, however… After becoming overwhelmed and frustrated with the hired help, I asked her to take on more responsibilities, which she was happy to do. She jumped right in and begin to make things happen on the development end. She’s promised to have another product ready by Saturday. I’m excited by her energy and drive.

The lesson in this for me has been to let go of control and trust in other peoples abilities to get the job done. My days as a micromanager are winding down, and it feels good. It’s stressful to always need that firm control over every aspect of my life. I’ve got lots of very capable people around me. Trusting them to do their jobs is a gift that I’m giving to myself.
