Buy a bigger piece of property (acreage) with a house on it and put a pole barn type building on it that you can use as your Warehouse might save you money in the long run.

[@mrs.quills7061]

Heck even buy some land and just build a small cabin or something that way too zoning or whatever wouldn’t be an issue, she could just say it’s a vacation home but use it as a working area. I think if she wants to keep work and life separate then having a single spot for it would work best. I know people where I am who buy wooded lots and just plop a large shed or garage on them and use that as a private work space, one guy even built a pond and goes there to relax.

[@DM-vh4nb]

Find a consulting firm on what to do

[@taniam.4554]

Agree more land is a good idea

[@allmyprinting]

This is the way to go definitely. Forget the warehouses please, do yourself a favor. I’m in the same spot, working from my garage. And when I found out how expensive it is to rent a place, I’m so happy with my 2 car garage. Until I buy land and build in my own land little by little. You don’t need a huge warehouse, your fast forwarding way too much. Those warehouses could work for Amazon.

[@inden301]

I was thinking incorporating a small retail store where there can be customer will-call pick-up or customer walk-ins at the warehouse. This can bring additional income besides online. This is where the building with the receptionist desk would work. Have a catalog at the desk to order from. You can display your latest merchandise for customers to look at. No A/C is a problem though, but I'm sure you can figure something out. Hope your continued search goes will.

[@kathylee4275]

In the process of buying an embroidery business and moving it from a warehouse into my large detached garage that we are remodeling. I live out in the country so the next step after we grow out of it is to build our own warehouse on our 11 acres we live on. You are such an inspiration. Love watching your videos.

[@WordsByAsti]

Felicidades!

[@dramafree4120]

That's really smart of you to buy a house with land because you can always build you a building. My friend built her Beauty Salon 😍 on her property and worked in for 20 year's.

[@MM-gf5vm]

That's definitely the way to go. Otherwise you're giving someone else all that money to RENT a space with little to no control over rent increases.

[@neriahmcbain3098]

Don’t forget to flex things like Rent Abatement, negotiating cost for spaces that aren’t turnkey, and also one thing you gotta remember with the tall warehouses is that you’re definitely getting way more than the base square footage, there’s upward storage and the ability to create an additional level. 3K sqft with 20’ plus ceilings will do more for you than 5K sqft with 10’ ceilings. Y’all got this though!

[@fedorczyklife5366]

So glad you are doing good! It’s awesome to hear your voice again. Can’t wait to see what you are going to be up to these next couple of months.

[@cluesonliving101]

Yesssss I'm sooo proud of you MD so happy for you. I have followed your youtube journey. You inspired me to start my own.

[@michellen9241]

Soo good to hear from you!! I was wondering where you were at! Praying that you get the clarity you need and everything works out for you and your family 🙏

[@lorettatrowell6980]

I found your videos last year and I’m so proud and excited for all the growth you’re experiencing. You’ve motivated me to get my own business started

[@iccrystalglow9992]

Good luck!! You will find the space that is right for you!! Great to see y’all are doing well!

[@ceceliachase8327]

Keep the faith Angela, it will all work out. So glad to see you guys back on! 🙌🏾

[@vickyls8132]

I’ve been following you from Day 1! So proud of you. Young Lady! Hang in there. You always work it out. I hope you feel better soon! Vicky from Cibolo, TX

[@whitfieldway696]

You are such an inspiration and a great influencer. I'm sure everything will work out and the warehouse that is right for you will appear just in the right time and season. Im pretty sure after watching this video your going to inspire atleast 10% of your followers to get a warehouse!!! That's just how great you are so give yourself so grace! It will work out.

[@SweetBuLivingLife]

I am so happy for you...love seeing your great progress!

[@BrandyMaxwell]

So glad all is well with you and your family... I've been checking and checking your social medias praying all was well... Fingers crossed you guys find the warehouse that has everything you guys want in it... as always you're such an inspiration 🙂 Every time I watch one of your videos.. I'm like one day that will be meeee😁

[@cherilynblake8384]

glad you and the fam are getting through! hope you find what you're looking for, and good luck mama!!

[@peachycheeks4394]

Love your videos. Great job checking all your options. You will know when the right one comes along. You will know.

[@Tiffany-lf5gw]

Congrats, this just shows you are elevating and blessings are pouring out. It will all work out, just pray and believe. 🥰

[@sewsowdesignstudiowfelicia3097]

YAAAAYYYY!!! So proud and happy for you sweetheart! I knew you were going to accomplish this goal! You are a real BOSS!! You’ve given so many of us knowledge, inspiration and motivation! I feel really blessed to have witnessed your journey. Be blessed.

[@bakerwannabe4435]

Great to catch up on what’s going on with you, Angela. Thanks for sharing your ideas for your new space. I’m so happy for you and your husband! Big changes are coming! You always work so hard and have a great heart. It’s so wonderful to see!

[@thecraftypineapplechannel970]

Oh wow 😯 I was not expecting this miss Angela ✨ keep up the good work , we are all proud ❤

[@cjpinn]

Hope Roman feels better. Congratulations on your growth & success.

[@vella1710]

Good to see you and thanks for the update. Hopefully you'll find someplace soon to grow your business. Good luck

[@racheljonesinc5186]

Great video thank you. Lots of great information and things to think about. Wish ya'll luck with the wearhouse journey ya'll got this.

[@DesignsbyDrea]

It's so amazing to see how far you've come! Everything will work out how it is supposed to. The right warehouse will come.

[@kimredding30]

I have missed you! Your energy is always good! Things are difficult at times, I remember when my children were young but...enjoy them because this time will fly by and you will look back and say We Did It! 😊

[@stauniqueprintwear2705]

Hey Angela! So good to see ya ❤ This is awesome 🤩

[@Sweetzandmore]

Yes. I can't wait to see this journey. Blessings among Blessings. You deserve it.

[@AngelaJasmina]

Thank you so much!

[@lbia5122]

Welcome back Angela! 💕 you have so much going on top of running your business. Better get an extra shot in your Dunkin! 😉😉

[@Coupella]

MAMA you are an inspiration! I am also a mom with a home business and watching your videos keeps me sane! Sending you so much love!!

[@blessedbegodboutique]

Congratulations! A well-deserved next step. You and your family work so hard :) I'm sure it will all work out.

[@Orcheomai]

That's a lot of things going on! I hope you'll be able to sort it out and decide what's best for your family, yourself, and your business 😊

[@HandmadeDawling]

It’s nice seeing you again. A warehouse?? Wow!! Congratulations!!

[@irmaledezma]

I’m glad you’re back! I missed you sorry to hear that you cannot find what you’re looking for however do universe will bless you you’ve helped us all so much something will come up can’t wait for your next video

[@FiberLoveDiary]

OMG, this is crazy. I looked at space today to move my own business into and I feel so stressed about moving from home! I am struggling to just say yes to it even though I am crammed into my space. Best of luck! I love watching your business grow!

[@makedesignsonprocreate]

Been following you for 3 years now since you first started. Like someone else said embroidery isn’t even my thing but sublimation is in making designs is definitely my passion. I love your business sense and your family. I relate to a lot of your ethics and you give me motivation! I’m so proud of you that you’ve come this far and are finally getting your own warehouse! That is a dream to be able to scale up so big that you need to get something bigger. The progression is huge

[@jennyowens8033]

You are smart, brave and an awesome entrepreneur, mother, and wife! You will find the right warehouse and it’ll work out for you and your family!! Hang in there and don’t forget to take time for you too. ❤

[@Cricutjunkie]

Angela, glad you are back. Hang in there my friend your blessing is around the corner❤

[@justseamsrightlindawoodsbr2914]

So glad to see your video and your growth (sorry for the growing pains). Look forward to seeing you at the expo. Hope your eczema is continuing to improve. Best wishes.

[@mariannnelattimore7773]

Security is always a concern. Add a door break through the Sheetrock and add a door. Find a large commercial house once again to use for a lot less then $10,400.00.

[@rosanne7804]

SO GOOD TO SEE YOU 👀 AGAIN! We MISSED YOU. I’m so sorry about Roman’s injury and your eczema. ☹️ I hope you’re both better. I’m praying for wisdom in making business & family decisions and hope the best warehouse option becomes available for you guys. Best wishes for you and your family!

[@blkny0423]

I sat through the entire vlog. It was cool to share your experience and dilemma. Like someone else said, it will work out. Always do. Every one of us who have businesses of our own can relate. Keep going dear Angela!

[@crystalawalker-selby6296]

Congratulations transitioning to your next level! You worked hard and have earned it! Sorry about Roman’s accident. Eczema sucks! Get better soon! Kenan is an awesome husband! I need to teach my husband how to embroider! 😂

[@SandraGarcia-rh1nz]

Congratulations!! I So. Happy for you . That sure is a lot of space but I m sure you will fill all that space up. You might have to get some rollerblades 😊enjoy your new place ,glad that Roman is feeling a lot better. ❤

[@HookedOnApplique]

So sorry you have been dealing with so much. Sending you good vibes that a perfect building comes your way! 😊

[@TianaShari]

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Congratulations! Much more to come!

[@Sandisongiftcompany77388]

Glad to hear from you!! That is amazing that you have such a problem that you need more space. Just FYI before you commit to a warehouse, you can always be small but once you upgrade its hard to go smaller. Also economically things are getting tough in US and inflation is hurting our customers.

[@hayleepinette8457]

My favorite youtuber!! Love love watching your journey and how far you and your family have come, you deserve it all❤️❤️

[@hayleepinette8457]

One day I want to fly down just to meet you in person(from pa😊)

[@chrissmithcollavo3015]

Wow!!! You have a ton on your plate! I get so overwhelmed when that happens that I tend to shut down and do nothing at all. I find that making "to do" lists with every little item on those "pages" of things to do actually looks excessive but I derive great satisfaction in crossing off completed tasks. Before I know it, list doesn't look so intimidating! Try it with your morning lunches and see if it works for you! Even when you possibly get warehouse, you'll be packing up food and snacks for Roman too. When I first started watching this video I had thought buying lot and putting "pole building" up to keep costs low. Using property as collateral for construction. Anything you put into it could be recouped by selling in future to ease your anxiety about such a leap. I understand though, money is required to purchase property in the first place. You are an inspiration to so many and I'm sure you'll find the path that suits you and your family!!! Good luck!

[@gigibeach8905]

Angela, your doing an AMAZING job with your business, being a mother and wife. I pray all goes well for you in whatever decisions you make Xxoo

[@almalopez513]

Hi its good to hear that you are doing good.

[@pearllucas452]

Great to see you honey, it will all work out perfectly. I’m praying for you guys and the business.💕❤️

[@AngelaJasmina]

Thank you so much!

[@lajrobinson3083]

Congratulations 👏🎉🎉 I know you are happy, I've been following you.

[@MadeByTriniLena]

Thxs for the update, great spaces. Praying & knowing it’ll all workout in your favor🙏🏽🔥

[@jenavy]

I feel you about packing in the mornings! For packing lunches, I try to pre pack the cold items the night before so that in the early morning I just have to focus on the hot food. As for the business, I know you can do it with the warehouse because over the last two years you guys have grown so much so quickly that once you have the warehouse plus employees, you’ll probably need a bigger size warehouse than what you are looking at right now lol

[@elaineprout4198]

Best wishes on this journey! We are just about in the situation where we need more space, but none to be found in the budget we want. We will be at the Impressions expo and will look for you at the Melco booth!

[@jacquelinejee5167]

I feel for you. Roman is your number one. Bless him I hope he is getting better. You will get your dream soon. Look at what you have built an amazing business your continuing inspiration to us all that is an amazing achievement. I believe you will find the perfect work place and you both deserve it. My prayers and good wishes are with you all xx

[@michellesurillo]

Aquaphor and gloves overnight helps so much !!! My daughter gets it bad on her hands and that seems to help. Hope that helps 🤍

[@onelovebyfrancesica4975]

So glad to have to you back

[@elise395]

I'm glad your back, I missed your videos 😃 my son is in daycare and over the years he's had a few accidents but it hasn't stopped us from sending him there...don't let one accident hold you back from sending him, its not like it will happen everyday or week, it may have been just a one off thing....and with the warehouse if your struggling to find one near your house you might just have to bite the bullet and find one further away, there may be a place cheaper and exactly what you want, and if you have to drive 20-30mins then so be it. I've always had to drive 30mins to and from my jobs, even longer with peak hour traffic... but either way you will figure it out, cant wait to see your next vlog 😘

[@elementgypsy]

You grew so fast! Good for you. Hard work.

[@Lovebitescreations]

Good to see you back girl❤️

[@esante00]

Happy to see you. Breathe, you got this!! 😊

[@SuperKopykat]

I'm missed your videos. Wishing you the best on the next steps of your adventure.

[@mandybeth2449]

Been watching you for years, you're such a motivator! I wish you all the success💙 I'm in Texas but 9 hours from Dallas. Would love to go 🥲

[@asc23channel]

Concerning your fingers/skin: Consider checking if there is any mold in your house/walls/structure! I personally know of situations, where some people’s skin reacts to spores in the air like that, while other people living in the same household don’t have any issues. Even dermatologists weren’t able to figure it out at first! Best wishes

[@cindylewis2624]

Hi Angela, you've been missed!! Hope the family is doing well. I understand ur stress, u will know when u know. Don't rush or force it, take ur time. It will happen when it's right!!! Good luck.

[@CursedByDesign]

Even though we are coming into winter, a big ass fan is still a good idea. Fans aren't just for cooling, but help move the heat around perfectly at low speed. It seems like such a small thing, but you want air circulation. $10.4k seems like a lot of money at first, but the amount that you will be able to expand will cover that really quickly. Just getting one or two extra staff members in there can increase your output and give you more time for marketing to bring in the extra business. Our best decision for our business was to take it out of our home -- for space and sanity.

[@Captainhairyass]

So, I'm gonna add that we have 2 million in inventory, 3 lasers, and picking up a 4 head embroidery machine and our warehouse is 1190 sq ft, we built a mezzanine and store a shitload of inventory in the mezzanine. We kept one $390 storage unit and our total costs for warehouse and storage unit is $2700 a month and we move between 1000 and 2000 orders per week. We are very happy, we have 2 little girls and it all works out.

[@delorisbutler7312]

Glad you back! Missed you!

[@LovesBranding]

Glad to see you're well! Best wishes to you. Fingers crossed that I'll be making the drive out to DFW to say hi!

[@kathygillespie3871]

I was so happy to see your video and see you are all doing great! You are such an inspiration to everyone. I had an out of the box idea just for in between time until you find that perfect warehouse- maybe find an Airbnb or something short term that you can retreat to as a family when work day is done just to give you some immediate relief and some time to relax and recenter mentally? If you can’t move the business quite yet, maybe remove your family from business space short term? Just a thought? I know when I get overwhelmed I feel like my brain goes into grid lock and I can’t decide anything. Sending positive and calming thoughts your way 😊

[@nyeshajamerson1490]

U inspire me. I've watched so many of your videos and I'm thinking of investing in myself. I know there will be challenges but that's life

[@angelar1500]

Happy to hear you finally made the big move to a warehouse! I always wondered what you were waiting for, lol, it was clear your business was only getting bigger, congratulations🎉 Btw, as a fellow sufferer of the dreaded eczema, the stress and constant handling of skin drying materials, cloth and cardboard, it was a formula for disaster. It's tuff to get rid of, but will go away at some point, steroids will likely be involved, (side note- your skin will glow). Tap and pat but don't rub or scratch. Best vibes sending out to you and the family!

[@SN-bl6xm]

I am so happy for your success! And yes, it is better to not live and work in the same building. Because this way you never have the end of a working day. And you need to be able to have some hours per day to just not think about work/business. Work life balance is very important longtime!

[@dollyscorner4850]

You keep growing that’s amazing!

[@candaceblack8526]

Hope everything works out in you favor because you deserve it angela. so happy you and your family is doing well.

[@AngelaJasmina]

Thank you so much!

[@MAHWL]

I'm so glad you and your family are good! I hope Roman is feeling better by now. I'm sure you are weighing all of your options as far home / work balance, employees in or out of the house, distance, car, rent, utilities, etc. you mentioned one of the tenants leased the space you wanted, did you find out what size was the unit they were occupying? Maybe its big enough. Either way I know that everything happens for a reason, and if you have to wait a little longer, the right one will appear. Congratulations on your growing business and having the ability to provide jobs for others. You are absolutely a blessing and an inspiration!

[@jailove71jailove]

What a blessing to be at this point in your career. I am so proud of you an your husband. May God continue to bless and prosper you. I work in foster care in Maryland. I am going to start sharing your story with some of the kids. Yo are such an Inspiration. So, so proud of you. God will show you the right warehouse . You will just know it when you see it.

[@amandajackson6665]

Aww praying and hope you find what you need.🥰🥰🥰

[@therealgr8typist]

Congratulations on your success and growth! I'm sorry to hear about your struggles with eczema too. I have a small patch on my face, and the flaking, itch and pain is maddening. The only thing that works for me is, seriously, Noxema skin cleanser. Old fashioned, I know, but for me, washing the area twice a day with Noxema rather than a traditional soap skin cleanser keeps it completely under control. I hope you can get some relief soon.

[@gloriar9592]

Hi Angela, I don’t know if you’ll see my msg 😆 well, I suggest that you try fresh Aloe Vera or glycerin. It really helps with skin issues…. You can also make your entire home a warehouse, and rent an apartment or condominium to go home, sleep and relax. The next day you can go to your house/warehouse. Thank you so much for your honesty and all the information you give to everyone. God Bless you and your family! 💖✝️❤️‍🔥🕊

[@mariarichardson1801]

First, Im glad you're back! Secondly, I feel your pain. I too developed execma on one of my fingers. It finally healed but then developed it on another finger!😔.

[@nurseing16]

You are such a inspiration. Thank you for inspiring all of us.

[@JudyTJ]

As I looked at your videos of space you considered, I was reflecting on my friend's warehouse. She had purchase and installed a mezzanine which close to doubled her floor square footage. You could probably install shelving units on a floor above the working space

[@ladylloydscreation6832]

Totally agree I work from my house 5 days and 2 days I work from my small shop the only time I feel like I’m not at work is when I leave most of my things at the shop on Saturday which restricts me from work at home and then I actually turns off work mode in my brain lol… so I say go for it because you need that separation

[@Quilt4Joy]

Gurl, you are a boss. I’m loving all of it!

[@Captainhairyass]

I was in the same boat. I got a warehouse and my wife and I work in there, our home is our home again and we kept one of our storage units for overflow inventory

[@yanikeonpurpose]

Yesssss. I’m screaming in joy for you guys!!!! 😭

[@lpugh35]

I believe you will get it figured out. Glad you’re feeling better. I have eczema as well but haven’t had it on my hands yet. I know it will all work out in your favor. ❤🙏🏼 we missed you!

[@AngelaJasmina]

Fingers crossed! Yeah eczema suckkkksss

[@flygrrrrl3753]

I wish I had your problems in having a successful embroidery business and mulling spending $10k month. BUY, BUY, BUY a property though. Either another house that’s for work only or commercial location. Love that you grew from a single needle machine in a flea market. You are such an inspiration! ❤

[@pamelamiller-ludwig8175]

My daughter just experimented and eliminated different things from her diet. She cut milk out and her eczema improved greatly. I hope you get it figured out, I can remember how much pain my daughter would be in. Very hard to do much of anything when you can't use your hands. Take care and good luck with all your decisions.

[@meagenarnett7921]

oh my!! i had the same thing! it was awful pain!! this is no joke on what worked no medicine it was water and no sugar....tons of water and now it is gone!! i am so sorry for you and pray for a speedy healing!

[@sharrell1348]

I've always wondered how you were coping with having work everywhere. Peace of mind is essential. I wish you the best.

[@lenoramcglown]

Hi u have been such a inspiration to this 72 year old woman and so many others...l love your testamony about your life God has brought you a long long way from point a..l to was a work aholic..still is l own LADY SUNSHINE FASHIONS IN TOLEDO OH...I THINK IT IS THE STRESS YOU ARE UNDER THAT IS CAUSING THE BREAKOUT OF YOUR SKIN...IT HAPPENED TO ME STARTED IN MY HANDS THEN WENT AWAY YEARS LATER CAME IN MY FEET AND SO ON..I BREAK OUT WHEN I AM UNDER PRESSURE....SO FIND WAYS TO RELEAVE THE STRESS....CRYING IN PRAYER HELPS BUT I ALSO WENT TO CLEAVLAND CLINIC...GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY AND LEAD AND GUILD YOU TO THE WAREHOUSE HE HAS PREPARED FOR YALL

[@manadziveasv2418]

You can build deck all around your garage walls like second floor if ceilings are high, make that you storage of everything, all separate door for downstairs and close it to upstairs and have your own shop

[@baavproductions]

Transitioning from a home business to a potential warehouse is so tough. The DMV is so tight on warehouse space as well. Looking forward to seeing which route you take!

[@yanikeonpurpose]

Right? Because I just don’t understand WHY for the life of me warehouses are so pricey!! It’s just basically an empty shell. These land owners are too greedy because paying over $100,000 dollars per year for minimum 5 years is 1/2 million dollars! Most land doesn’t even cost near this much & the buildings are usually basic if it is even constructed with cement, bricks etc. The cheapest unit I saw wanted £10,000 per annum excluding fees. I managed to get a storage unit, roughly the same size at less than £1k per year & I’m making it work with that. Once I outgrow I’ll just keep getting storage units until I can buy a building.

[@drthreads]

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽The move is coming. Congratulations❤️❤️🙏🏽

[@littlelettr420]

For the eczema when you have a flair up if you have cotton gloves if not get a pair. Use a lot of Curel (The reddish pink label) on your hands and then gloves on and go to sleep. yea weird but helps sooooo much!!! I have to do it usually during the spring. been doing it since I was 6 so almost 20 years

[@caroll5682]

The house on the corner where I live is a storage unit for a family who runs there own business. They bought 2 houses in the neighborhood one to live in and one for work. They go in the morning and leave about 6 pm. In the end, they will own the 2nd house.

[@julzzz-]

Thats what I was going to suggest...buy another home just for business!

[@kaer3505]

This was my idea as well. Look for a smaller house in your neighborhood to live in and use the current one for the business. OR if you aren't attached to your neighborhood look for a house in a more rural area with acreage and a detached garage or ability to build a detached garage for the warehouse space. 10K in rent is money you could invest in owning real estate.

[@tinahaemker3490]

Wishing you lots of luck!! Take one day at a time!! You'll find the perfect place for you to jump right in!! Good luck Angela.....

[@AngelaJasmina]

Thank you so much!!
