A new baby, a growing business and an addiction to shoes prompted me to realize that the walls seemed to be closing in on me. That being said, I have recently moved not only my family to a new home but also my business to  new offices. Never to do anything half-way, after much debate the choice was made to accomplish it all at once and over a single weekend none the less. Through the melt-downs, tears of happiness and cranky muscles I look back on the way things were and ask, "Why in the world didn't I do this sooner?"

I, of course, think of my previous home lovingly and with fond memories. However, I think of wall colors, the D.I.Y home improvement projects (most started with my husband and partner in chaos, on a whim at 10:00 on a Friday night) and have to ask myself, what was I thinking back then? Tiffany blue bathroom? A Coy pond minus the fish? Dark hardwood floors instead of light...None all that terrible or life altering but nothing I would consider doing today.

As I think about my evolution in style and tastes, I wonder if I am not alone. I have a feeling that many small business owners have experienced something similar be it in their shop, restaurant or with their logo, business cards, web design or print advertisements. I would bet that many would look back on when the shop was last updated or marketing material was last revised and say, "Wow, how did I get from there to here? What was I thinking?" and realize that it might be time for a fresh coat of paint or a fresh perspective.

There is no time like the present to make sure that all items associated with you or your business are reflective of who you are today and where you want to go in the future. Don't let yourself outgrow your marketing! Now is the time to make a change for the better. If you are in the heart of the hill country, come on by and see our new digs and let us help you put a new face on your own efforts. Yes, it could mean bit of chaos and hard work but I can promise you an end result that you will be proud of and that will be reflective of now vs. then.
