Hello everyone!

I'm Rachel, and this is the year I'm going to seriously do something about making money by doing what I love.

It's great to be here! 🙂 It's lovely to see a few familiar faces here from Elevate Your Business in Manchester in November, but I'm still feeling a bit shy… 😉

What’s your website?
Hmm…I've got a domain name and a…[Read more]

Here is my first check-in.

Whatcha workin on?
Since my kids are home this week too from Christmas break, I've been purging my house. I worked 5 hours one day cleaning off my computer desk. For about 8 days, we took about 3 bags of garbage out. All I can say, is Wow. It feels so good and yet, you can't even tell where the stuff would have…[Read more]

Thanks @kimberley-bridgwater.

@dana-gervais

Wow, Dana, we do have a lot in common. My husband and I were shooting around the idea of selling the houses, but the realtor wouldn't come. Maybe it was a sign, not to sell right now. Its a whole different parenting role, when you are an adoptive parent. The show “This is Us” has opened my husband's eyes to my fear of “Adoption…[Read more]

@tanja-osswald

Yes they are mesmerizing. I enjoy watching when a renter is using the machine. I have to remember I have work to do, lol.

Thanks for your input on my name request. I feel not quite right with it as they still have to put a label and binding on. Its very true, its a big accomplishment.

Thanks again

@sarah-walworth
Thank you for your name suggestion. I do like the name “The Finishing Line” and the logo suggestion, but again, I have the doubt in my head as they still need to attach a label and binding. But I really like both suggestions. hmmm. can I get over those thoughts.

Thank you for the reminder about doing what you love. I'm going…[Read more]

@jill-wolcott

Thank you for replying and welcoming me.

I'm the opposite of you lately. I've been stuck talking with my neighbour for hours after we drop the kids off from school. And then I don't end up going to the office. When the kids start school on Monday, I'm hoping to be able to get a backbone and say I have to go to work, see ya.

Thank you @tawny-reynolds.

here are my responses to your points:
1. Yes people will need to come to my office to use my machine, and since it costs about $20,000, I need to be there when they are using it. I don't mind being there. I'm excited for when the renters are experienced, as I can just be there for the any issues. If the renter is…[Read more]

I'd love to trade interviews?!

I would like to do interviews on SPIN Weekly so I feel like being interviewed would not only be tons of fun it would be helpful for both of us 😛

My email is grace.s.hopkins@gmail.com

If you have 2 of the same thing there is a drop bar in the listing editor that you can pick how many you have. For example my digital books are always set at 100 until they sell out then I need to “restock” them and reset it to 100.

@leigh-kristensen I was right there with you. Also beating myself up for having a less good year than last year. But then I finished running my gross numbers (still have to do expenses & net), and realized that the thing I was focused on all year, my online shop, DID grow by 30%! It didn't reach my goal (which was discouraging), and other…[Read more]

Before I started, I thought finding my North Star would be really hard. But then, it was just there. My North Star for this year is joy. I wrote it in big letters on my quarterly map so it makes me happy every time I look at it. 🙂

@tash-burrett Fabulous! Can't wait to see you. 🙂

Hi Lea-Ann,

Are you looking for a striping style repeat? I've worked with repeats of various lengths so I could customize something for you. 🙂

I've attached an example of my holiday self-striping yarns below.
