3. Use what you've got, girl

Okay, so it took 135 days since Kelly blurted out "Imagine customized USB animals for tourists" in her American accent for me to hold those unimaginable beautiful USBs in my hands. It of course felt like a million years.

So I finally have them and then I discover my price is not right. Another stab to the heart was that I would need fancy packaging... I'm not selling kapana on the street, so I should up my game... Can you imagine?

My ship started filling up with water until Agartha pulled me up out of my sinking emotions. Sideline: emotions are buggers one should be very careful of. Back to the story.

I started a bit of a roller-coaster ride to find packaging. Eventually I came to a simple solution. It required that I print my "flyer" four images to a page. I then had to cut it out with scissors or have it done at a shop. I thought of a guillotine to save me time. I did not think so for N$650. Then I thought of a cutting board and a cutter. Not for N$300+. I then just got the cutter and turned over a kitchen tray.

Welcome to my world:

This tray story of mine reminds me of A*. She started a business from home and as it grew saw she could open an office. The day she opened the doors of her office she sat at her desk - on an upturned 20L paint drum. She doesn't know how this story of hers inspired me. It showed me you can work with what you've got. Just do it.
