Reflect and Grow: October

Happy Halloween (to all who celebrate)! 🎃
It’s been quite some time since I’ve sat down to document my journey as an entrepreneur, but I’m happy to finally be back at it. The past month has brought many changes to my daily schedule, and I’ve found it challenging to balance business tasks while adjusting to a new work environment and routine.

That’s the honest part about entrepreneurship in the early years—when your energy is low, it directly affects your momentum. But that’s also where growth begins. Hence the vibe of today’s post: Growing Through the Flow.

Point of Reflection

While I haven’t had the energy to fully commit to my business over the past month, I’ve still managed to show up in small ways, just enough to keep the wheels turning. Sometimes, consistency doesn’t mean going full speed; it simply means not giving up.

In my last post, I mentioned my decision to move from Shopify to Squarespace, and I’m happy to share that I’ve officially made the switch! It took about a week to rebuild the site piece by piece, but I’m genuinely pleased with the results.

This year, I’ve talked a lot about shifting my focus from direct consumers to fellow entrepreneurs and small business owners, and my new Squarespace site truly reflects that evolution. I feel much more aligned with the service-based direction of Annie Sharae Creations and confident about the next chapter of my business journey.

Looking Toward Growth

With the first quarter of 2026 just around the corner, it’s only natural to start reflecting on what’s next. When I look back at this year, I’m proud of myself for taking bold risks, especially in reshaping the entire layout of my business.

There were definitely moments where I felt like I was losing my footing as an entrepreneur, but growth often comes through those uncertain seasons. Sometimes, you have to pivot and take chances to see what you’re truly capable of.

As the holiday season approaches, I plan to spend time mapping out my goals for the year ahead. 2026 will mark three years of Annie Sharae Creations, a milestone that feels both humbling and exciting. This journey has already led me to incredible opportunities, and I can’t help but feel optimistic that the next year will bring even more, both the kind that challenge me and the kind that help me grow.

Thank you for being here and following along with my journey. I can’t wait to share more with you all in the coming months.

Xx, Annie
