How Do You Measure a Year?
As I close the books on 2025, I find myself pausingānot just to tally numbers, but to soak in the journey. What a year! A whirlwind of challenges, triumphs, and lessons in humility, grit, and perseverance. But above all, 2025 was a masterclass in gratitude.
When I launched Jon B Leather, it was a passion projectāa creative outlet to craft beauty and flex my imagination. I never dreamed that a few months later, Iād be catapulted into full-time self-employment. Talk about an unexpected adventure!
And because old habits die hard, hereās my āperformance reviewāāthe way I measure success now:
āØ 346 New Customers
āØ 566 Orders Placed
āØ 943 Unique Creations
āØ 4 Incredible Brand Ambassadors Welcomed
These arenāt just numbers. Theyāre stories. Theyāre proof that what started as a hobby has grown into a communityāa family stitched together by creativity and trust.
To our supporters, customers, vendor partners, event hosts, and yes, MattyG (who somehow landed a part-time gig he never signed up for)āthank you. Youāve turned this dream into reality, and I am eternally grateful.
Hereās to every stitch, every smile, and every shared moment. With pride in every piece, and gratitude in every heartbeatācheers to what weāve built together.
With Pride in Every Stitch,
Jon B
