I came, I saw, I made R100-00.

I had my second market a few weeks back. I was smiling, excited and my confidence unbreakable.(Remember that I did really good at my first one!)

It was probably the scariest day of my life - JUDGEMENT DAY!!! The reason why I am saying this is because everybody has a comment and according to everyone, they can make it themselves.

Now, first of all here I am in a place that if you're not a rugby supporter then you're nothing! Slime! And if you are a rugby supporter then you make sure everybody knows your team by dressing your whole family in some team's rugby jersey and wearing matching Crocs. Cheetahs, Blue Bulls, Sharks and Crocs - Welcome to the jungle Punk!

It was terrifying! One lady made a comment on one of my birdfeeders saying: "Lighting is gonna hit this thing, it ain't gonna work!" What! Lighting? Birdfeeder? Yes, I was shocked by this. They probably don't have any trees in their garden...

So hour by hour, minute by minute and blue bull by blue bull I was getting more and more negative until my mom(a veteran marketer with skin as thick as a wall!) told me to go and get coffee, walk around and just don't think about it. I stopped at this one stall where this lady sold the most beautiful leather shoes. She gave me one look, gave me a pair to try on and said: "I've been watching you, it will get better."

I went back with this words of wisdom, put on a smile and greeted everyone in the best way possible. And then out of the blue somebody saw my gems and I made R100-00.

Our stall.
