How Accidentally Publishing My Website Actually Improved It

My initial reaction to accidentally publishing my website was nothing less than dramatic! I thought "well there goes my business". All the while my friend was laughing at me

because she knows very well I don't have millions of people looking up a website that I have never even announced was in the making.

And if I am being honest, its been in the making for months, months too long. The mere idea of having to do anything slightly challenging with technology immediately sends me into a spiral. Because we know I did not start a cleaning and organizing business to also act as a computer software engineer.

But here we are! With a published site that has more mistakes than I can count, pages I don't know how to get to, and strangely I feel less stressed than before.

One thing I am slowwwwlllllyyy learning as a new business owner is that you almost never feel ready, and when you do, you probably aren't. And thats ok. Learning to embrace the feeling of never being completely ready just helps you to grow and scale faster.

Its October, and I have been working on this site since MAY! I mean thats crazy, especially when I tell you Wix pretty much created the thing itself, but I just felt like maybe there were areas that could use some improving. Or maybe I wasn't ready to open myself up in another vulnerable way just yet, and maybe when the site was perfect, I would feel more confident about putting it out there for the public.

And now that its published, although not to my standards, I know that the community of people supporting me as I navigate all the little and big things that go into growing a business, give me the confidence to know it is not only ok, but that it is good. Accidentally publishing my site prematurely has allowed me the chance to finally prioritize working out those few last details, and actually check something off my running to do list. I mean you can imagine the weight I was carrying around each day I never checked off "finish website" for 6 whole months..

With that said, I want to thank everyone for being patient as I add website designer to my ever growing credentials list so I can share all things organizing, cleaning, lifestyle, and what its like starting a business.

Here's to not being ready but going for it anyways!
