Moving, Small Business Hustle, and What’s Next: A Chad’s Take on the Journey
Hey fam! What is up?
It’s your boy Chad here, back at it again with another blog post.
I know, I know, it’s been a hot minute since I last posted, and I can feel the love (and the pressure) from my loyal subscribers!
So let’s dive right into it, because I’ve got some big updates, some real talk about running a small business, and of course, a few laughs along the way!

The Big Move: What’s Going On?
First things first: Yes, I MOVED!
If you’ve been following my journey, you know I’ve been on the hunt for a new office space for my small business.
And let me tell you, finding the perfect spot is NO JOKE.
It’s like dating, but instead of swiping right, I was swiping through listings, and I was getting ghosted by every landlord out there!
So, here’s the tea: I searched high and low in my area and came across some properties that looked promising.
But when I got to the price tags? OMG, I was shook!
Most places were asking for $4,000 to $5,000 a month in rent.
Like, what?!
That’s a car payment, a luxury vacation, or even a down payment on a house!
Just because you can afford it doesn’t mean you should, right?
I mean, come on, I’m a small business owner, not a millionaire.
I had to ask myself, “Is this really worth it?”
I don’t want to throw money into something that I’ll never see again.
Plus, life is unpredictable, and who knows what could happen next?
I needed a solution that wouldn’t tie me down financially.
So, I decided to take a different route.
I have something special planned!
But you’ll have to keep reading to find out more.
For now, I can say that I’m in this new space until at least after the holidays because let’s be real—this is the busiest time of year for my small business.
I can’t afford to get distracted right now!

The Packing Process: Chaos and Creativity
Alright, you guys, let’s talk about the actual moving process.
Can I just say that packing up my office is a total NIGHTMARE?
I mean, I just finished packing orders yesterday, and I didn’t even bother cleaning up the mess because I knew I’d be moving everything today anyway.
It’s like a scene out of a reality show—boxes everywhere, machines to pack, and the constant battle of “where did I put that?”
It’s a lengthy process, and I’m basically living in a war zone of cardboard and bubble wrap!
But here’s the kicker: amidst all the chaos, I’m trying to keep my spirits high.
When you’re running a small business, it’s easy to get overwhelmed, but you’ve got to find those little moments of joy.
Whether it’s blasting my favorite tunes while I pack or treating myself to a snack break (hello, pizza!), I’m all about keeping the vibe positive.
Once I get to the new space, I’ve got some exciting plans in mind.
I’ll be setting up a killer workspace that inspires creativity and productivity.
I can’t wait to show you all the transformation!
