Yes.

First, thank you so much for having me.

So I am the owner of the Dino Book Collection is a home luxury lifestyle brand launched in twenty nineteen twenty twenty with ground running.

It was a pandemic.

I was one of like those pandemic brands.

So everyone was home ordering my brand slippers, pajamas, candles, all those things.

Right.

You know, it was a very unique first year for me.

That same year, Beyonce featured me in her Black Parade, as well as I was featured on Good Morning America.

So like I said, a very unique first year.

So then as time went on, you know, things like slowed down, but I was still being profitable.

Still, everything was steady.

But my question as a small business owner, when do you know when to scale, especially when you make your mark as a small business owner?

You know, that's that's how people know me.

And then I know when I do scale, it's going to be a bigger overhead.

I don't know if I'll have as much say in everything.

So that's just my like fear.

I know my brand can be so much bigger.

But is that thing of kind of being comfortable and being grateful like we're still doing great because my beginning was so strong.

So it's kind of like, when do I know?
