It's our 5 Year Anniversary!
Feels so surreal typing this!
This journey has been one for the books.
I started this journey with a goal to help women like you elevate your haircare and belief in yourself that you have the ability to do anything on your life's journey.
That is what Strands of Faith is all about.
Faith that with using great quality products you will achieve your hair goals and faith that you can do anything in life that you desire.
Applying for a new job. Passing a test. Overcoming limiting beliefs.
All with just a mustard seed of faith.
And for me, that's just what this journey has been. A faith journey.
In the beginning, I was green as a cucumber starting out.
I quickly learned that in order to weather the storms, I had to also shatter my own limiting beliefs.
This journey has been one of immense personal growth.
Many of which I have transparently shared with you along the way.
Life isn't meant to be perfect. It's meant to be lived and to give to God what we don't have the strength to bear.
With my personal growth also came skill growth.
In order to grow SOF, I had to learn how to skill stack.
Every part of the business, I had to master to the “best of my ability” before delegating to anyone else.
Customer service. Formulating. Packaging orders. Running ads. Marketing. Financials. Copywriting.
I credit these skills along with grit, faith, and tenacity as the reason why we are still here. (and of course my awesome God.)
And I want you to know that whatever dream you have deep down in your bones, you can also achieve!
I didn't start off as an expert in any of these areas but I had a burning desire to take the leap of faith so that I could walk in my purpose and be of service to you.
I still remember the 14 hour days of mixing product in our kitchen and then in our garage.
And then I scaled up to building a Faith shed in our backyard. I'm sure you remember the good ole Faith Shed lol.
There were also the product burns.
The product spills.
The long nights.
The sacrifice of not being able to spend much time with my then small kids.
This is when I further knew that building SOF was a purpose project.
You have to be insane or in purpose to do something that at times brought about pure delirium lol.
And at times, I didn't know if I was coming or going.
Along the way, came the pandemic.
Then a growth spurt.
Then a slow spurt.
Now, the current looming recession.
All of this, while bootstrapping and self funding the business from scratch.
I started this business with money from my savings and then used some personal credit cards until the business was able to fund itself.
Some months there was profit, others there were losses.
But I kept going.
I’ve learned many lessons along the way and it hasn't been easy but the faith journey has been worth it!
