I mean, listen, there are a lot of predators out there and predator is a strong word, but there are, there's a lot of ways for entrepreneurs to really waste a lot of money and a lot of time. And we definitely had some people who bill themselves as quote unquote experts and we didn't need them anymore.
Along the way, and certainly not for the amount of money that we paid, for the duration that we paid. But we were able to spot it and, you know, pivot from there. It's really just keeping your wits about yourself and not getting too comfortable. We also always... have our bottom line in mind. We are very responsible fiscally.
And the reason why we were even able to get a small business loan to put into the product company where we didn't have to raise so much money is because we were able to, with our small, mighty team in our atelier during the pandemic, still managed to net well over a million dollars in profit. That's outstanding. Yeah.
So we were able to literally provide the numbers to the bank and, you know, very few people also get approved for those loans. So we are able to be fiscally responsible, which then created freedom and opportunity for us.
Yes.
Yes. I feel really lucky, but I also know that I created that luck.
Yeah, I hope it's like the one thing that our team sees that like hard work can really open up a lot of opportunities in your life. Because none of this was overnight. You know, this was all brick by brick. But because we always just stuck to our goals. Vision of excellence. I mean, every little detail that we do, even at the Atelier, is so well thought out.
We serve everything with a linen napkin underneath it. You sure do. Everything is beautiful. Yeah, everything is beautiful. Everything should be beautiful. And I just feel that if you really stick to what your core morals and, like, essence is... you're never going to lose. So I don't know, Micah and I, we always feel like, of course we're here.
We have a lot of self-belief in ourselves because the world is hard enough being a Black woman. So we definitely lift each other up. We lift this business up. We're not going to ever have any negative self-talk. It's hard enough.
Yeah.
Yeah, but I mean, I look at what's coming up for you and it all makes complete sense because nobody entertains like Megan, okay? Okay. You know, everything is just beautiful and intentional and thoughtful. And that's why you're not going to lose either. Thank you.
