Have you ever spent months saving up all of your pennies to buy something you’ve had pinned to your Must Have Pinterest board, and then find out it was a bust? Didn’t work? Made you feel like you were ripped off?
Yea, me too.
After stalking a women’s small business group for about 3 years, I finally took the plunge and became a member last year. Because being a work from home entrepreneur can get lonely! After seeing the groups supportive nature, their kindness to each other, and the fun they had I felt that we would be a great fit!
So I made the investment to become an official member of the group. And it was an investment. Like buying a nice couch that will last you 20 years investment.
And it was fabulous! Until it wasn’t.
About 8 months later the owner/head cheerleader decided to drop this community she’d built and led for years like a hot potato and go back to a 9 to 5 position, leaving the majority of us feeling like we were on the Titanic.
Not even a “This is What’s Happening” email was sent. Not a peep about a life change. And I understand life changes and how sometimes you have to make hard decisions. But to not say A WORD to your community about the changes coming? Or right after they happened? No. That was unacceptable to me.
Remember when Rose was freezing her butt off on a piece of iceberg while her love was slowly drifting away from her?
Like Rose, I went from panic to sadness to anger in the space of a second.
When the dust settled, we as a group realized…no more daily posts to motivate us. Very few people were interacting or sharing at all. It was crickets. It was dead. We no longer had a leader who had our backs, no one to guide us or to get us motivated to do the things we have to do as entrepreneurs.
Because some times you need a swift kick in the pants to get things done! And that’s what all of us paid for by becoming a member of this community.
Right then, I knew I would never do that to my clients.
Since the beginning of Spirithorse Designs over 13 years ago, I have never left a client high and dry if they have an issue with anything I create. And I KNOW, this is why I have five star reviews like this:
Custom Horse Hair Photography Mat
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐It was a bumpy road getting this piece done and correct. But in the end it came out stunning! My sister was at a loss for words and then cried when I presented her with this master piece. Beautiful job Angela….. it means more than you know to have this piece captured. Thankyou again for doing me right. ~Lynn S.
and this one…
Bonnie Horse Hair Necklace
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I couldn’t believe how lovely this was. My mare’s tail was multi-colored and it was braided in a way that really showed off the unique coloring. It was done so well it was obvious that Angela had done this work with love and compassion. Very neat, tight, and pristine! ~Jan O.
But how would you know about this guarantee? You wouldn’t because I didn’t have it posted on the website until last year!
So ICYMI here are…

Woohoo! Now you know! And if you ever have any questions never hesitate to get in touch.
Because I respect the life changes that happened for the group leader, and the privacy they need going forward, no, I am not going to share who or what this group is. But I will say, if you are looking to invest in yourself or join a mastermind community, maybe stalk that group a little longer than I did!
Now I’d like to know, tell me in the comments below, what have you purchased lately that wasn’t all it was cracked up to be?
