Three years ago today, on 1 August 2023, I took over Bag Babe.
I wanted to take a moment to reflect honestly on these three years - the wins, and the mistakes.
We've invested back into the factory since day one:
Upgraded factory floor, new bagging machines, new extruders , job card overhaul, upgraded testing procedures in each department, cable management system , new scales, upgraded break belts , new shelving and a logo UPGRADE.
We've streamlined how we work too. Planning that used to take five to six hours now takes about an hour and a half. We've built a solid team and a delivery system I'm genuinely proud of.
It hasn't all been smooth sailing. I've made real mistakes and paid for them.
I love being a leader it come naturally to me , I don’t enjoy being a boss but that comes with the deal.
Three years in, I'm just grateful. Grateful for everything I've learned about people, about running a business about myself and my capabilities and weaknesses. Im grateful for my team of employees and for every customer , supplier and connection ive made along the way. And I have to say it: none of this would be possible without God and Jesus in my life. That's the foundation everything else stands on.
It's been an awesome three years. Here's to the next three, and to building a life well spent doing something I love.
