As the owner, just 365 Days ago, The Natural Market was a figment of my imagination. I could have never thought that I would actually have keys to a flagship boutique that I could call my own. I can still remember having that paper torn off of my window from construction as I was finally opened for business. I can still remember writing my first hand written thank you card to my first customer and I think to myself how blessed I am to share this gift that I have with all of you. There are no words to describe how thankful I am each and every time someone walks away happy with their purchase and the courtesy that people show when they decide to share their experience with others.
Every day I am thankful for the struggle and the stress that emanates with owning your own business and if I had to do It all over again I would not change anything . As the days go by, I realize more than ever how connected each and every one of us really are and exactly how my commitment to customer satisfaction and giving back to our community really does make a change for the better in our world.
My goals for The Natural Market are to build and expand by providing positive an example to people that the journey of a thousand mile begins with one step. The things that you dream are not farfetched. Trust in yourself, stay determined, disciplined and committed and in no time the things that you desire will come into fruition. Also as in the words of the late John Nash, “It is better to have been, then not to have been, then to have been nothing at all." What truly is logic? Who decides reason? It is only in the mysterious equations of love that any logic or reason can be found. The best for the group comes when everyone in the group does what's best for himself AND the group.” With that being said, take what you love and try your best to make it work for you and remember as a member of the human race our world works best when we do what positively is best for ourselves and the world we live in.
Love,
Victoria
