*Journey to inspire*
Short story by 920 Mas
1. The path weāre on isnāt always the path we have chosen. Sometimes a ripple happens and it changes your path. I choose to start this business becauseā¦..
2. The Catalyst.
14 years ago my relationship ended and my lease. I was lucky to find a great place with a great landlord. The older lady pictured above is Kathy, my landlord, friend and I would even consider to be my aunt. Kathy is very independent firecracker full of a lot spice and very little sugar. She lived alone in the house she paid off on her own and did majority of the remodeling herself.
About 7 years ago today, I was working the nite shift. When I got off of work, all I could hear is screaming coming from her house. She had fallen and broken her hip. The whole house was locked and I had to kick the door in. By the time I got to her and the ambulance arrived she had been on the floor for 6 hours. š¢
After that day, I knew I would have to be around a lot more. I spent the next year researching businesses I could start at home with little to no investment. Most important thing I learned was āif you want to start business, look around the people close to and find something they need.ā
In 2019, I started 920mas. Unfortunately a few months of running the business in my apartment. Kathy couldnāt stand the noise so I had to move the shop to another location which actually worked out for the better.
Now weāre entering COVID and business is actually doing well but I definitely didnāt know what I was doing. Since majority of my business is online, things were great because everyone was at home ordering online. I was ready to start scaling the business than,
I got a phone call that would change my life forever.
Chapter 2 will be in the next post and itās riveting.
Iām keeping it short and some stuff in the story is personal and no oneās business. Iām telling this story to inspire people to be better to our neighbors, families and community. Thanks for lending me your ear!
