Dearest Sriracha Freaks,
Welcome to Love Hard, Inc. - the new home of Jojo's Sriracha and former Love of Jojo, Inc.
Why the new name? When I named my company Love of Jojo, Inc. in 2012 it was just that - me making the sriracha I loved and sharing it with all of you. I made my first three batches of Jojo's Sriracha in the back of a deli the size of a small closet. Those batches made about 150 jars and it took forever.
When I found a shared kitchen space that was much bigger, I relied on the help of family and friends who donated their time and energy to help production keep moving. They lugged jars up and down stairs and packed online orders in my studio apartment. I would then wheel those orders to the post office in the same granny cart I used to pick up peppers with at the Union Square Farmers Market.
When it was time to ramp up production, I didn't have the money for the industrial blender I needed, so I turned to my community for help. Together, we crowdfunded $4,430. I didn't have a website, but everyone helped share the love on our facebook page.
As an entrepreneur and general go-getter, it's easy to feel like I have to do everything on my own. Except growing your dream alone sucks. The real joy is sharing the journey with others and learning how to ask for help. This month we will produce over 2000 jars, but I won't do it alone. I'll have my first employee (who also happens to be my little sister) right by my side. She fills jars more precisely than I ever did and makes sure no batch is too seedy. Maybe even more importantly, we make breakfast and lunch together in the kitchen and never hesitate to have a dance party when just the right song comes on.
My company isn’t just about me – it’s about all the people who give their time, talent and energy to create something that we otherwise couldn’t make on our own. We stick to our guns and never release a product unless we’re absolutely in love with it first. Because that’s really the point. Love Hard.
We couldn’t be happier to show off our new website and online store. And if that wasn’t enough, we’re also introducing two new products: zinfandel and petite sirah sriracha infused with Ravenswood wines. We’re totally in love and we hope you will be too…
HOW I RECOVERED MY STOLEN BITCOIN
I had run my own business for years and had built up a tidy sum in savings for retirement. I planned to use the money to buy a mortgage free bungalow for Myself and kids {i am a widow} to live out the rest of our days. In a bid to top up those savings i was drawn into investing online a move into cryptocurrency trading that left me at the mercy of suspected fraudsters and drained my life savings. "I was very upset," I said. “I have lost my kids lifestyle and my plans.” I’m in my 50s and felt vulnerable and distraught about what happened. “I wanted to do this online trading as everyone was saying how good it was, to give us a better lifestyle.”
Assuming I was making profits, I was drawn into a cycle of investing more in order to get money out. The scammers said they needed 10% from me to get my money out. I said i was ill, and collapsed while on the phone and they were still on the line when paramedics arrived. During my illness, I kept getting text messages asking for more funds. I was confused and agreed to hand over more money and eventually lost more than £250,000 in life savings. Banks have been issuing warnings about fraudulent cryptocurrency trading, and are unlikely to refund any of my losses. “I thought I was good with my money. It was really when I came out of hospital that the shock of what I’d done hit me.”
“The money was for my retirement, any future healthcare we needed and the future of my kids. I have no means to recoup the money I’ve lost as I’m retired.”
“Scams come in many guises, whether it be a get-rich-quick scheme or the promise of romance. It’s easy to think it’ll never happen to you, but the reality is anyone can be targeted and anyone can be tricked.”
My scam story changed for better when i finally discover a way to recoup all my losses which was over £250,000. I came across a recovery company that could help me without having me to pay a fee for start. I provided all the proof asked of me and was assigned to the agent working on my case where I was able to communicate with him whenever i wanted to. It took the agent 1 week and a few days to track and finally recovered my money. Putting out my story is to give someone out there some hope not to give up because you can recover your money.
The recovery company i got help from is called shieldstridehub. If you read this and you looking for help you can reach out to them on WWW. shieldstridehub. COM
All because of them i was able to buy myself that mortgage, save enough money for the future i planned for her kids.
