Happy International Rum day!!
And to boot, we’re a month old! What a way to celebrate, and what an incredible first month it’s been!
Donna Harcus-Anderson and I have been absolutely overwhelmed by the unbelievable response we've received so far—thank you to everyone who's supported us on our journey to date!
And what a month it’s been. Life is never linear…how boring would it be if it were! I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t greyer for some of the unforeseen ‘bumps’ in the road, but ironically we are all the better for them!
Before we embarked on this journey I was gifted some words of wisdom that have rung so true in this first month and so as I sit & reflect on a month well done, I thought I’d pass them on!
*Act fast when something’s not right*
As it transpired, we had such incredible feedback on our 52North branding that our gut told us to rebrand our originally named ‘52N’ liqueurs before they established - it was the best decision yet!
*It’s ok not to know everything*
If we waited to have all the information, quite honestly we wouldn’t be launched. We’re 100% learning on the fly, learning from anyone and everything as we go! Take a leap of faith. What do you have to lose!?
*Always expect the unexpected* (and plan for it!).*
Not everything will go to plan, and that’s okay, flexibility is key to navigating challenges. It will keep you sane and steady and allow you to find solutions quicker.
So at the end of month one, we’re celebrating:
- overwhelming success from our first show.
- a successful meeting with HMRC resulting in recieving our AWRS license (which allows us to sell B2B).
- our first official listing (more to come soon).
- a jam packed Q4 of shows ready and waiting, which we’re incredibly excited for!
Come and raise a glass of British made rum with us!
Preferably, a glass of 52North!??
What a phenomenal night! ??????
