Yay, Ann! That's wonderful!

Hi folks! I've just come aboard 🙂 I'm Shelley. I'm doing the #monthofbizlove challenge over on Instagram which led me to this. I've been enthused by really thinking about my lil biz and what I want it to be. So here I am – ready to go next level.

I'm an over user of 🙂 & !! & I even bring out the old lol a fair bit.

My biz – I am a crochet…[Read more]

Thank you so much @karen-robinson!

Such wonderful news, Ann! Congrats!

I have been a little MIA lately but I am taking Tara's words to heart and celebrating one of my goals! I made a goal to have 10 wholesale clients by the end of December and as of today, I have 10!!! Happy Dance!!!

New goal being made!

Thank you, @tanja-osswald !

Oh, thank you, @mary-roth, that's going above and beyond! I'd love spinning pics, too, though I'm not sure who the spinner(s) would be — I don't know enough about it as a hobby to think which character might find it appealing. Hopefully some of these will also be useful in your marketing!

@mary-roth I love CoSchedule! Such a time-saver to not have to remember to get stuff scheduled. I do it all at once and then rearrange the calendar when I need to.

This totally slipped my mind the past week with all my launch stuff going on, but I'll make a reminder to myself and have Dan take some pictures soon! I'll try to get a variety of knitting shots (both sides, circular needles vs DPNs), can pull out crochet hooks, and because @tara is a horrible enabler, I could probably get some EPP pics, too.

I'm trying out coschedule, and have just gone back and scheduled tweets for a bunch of things here! 🙂

@patti-robinson Thanks for bringing up the issue of mental health! I've been clinically depressed at least since I was 9, and sometimes I just can't cope. Lately I've been so overwhelmed, I know there are things I need to change in my business to succeed, but I feel paralyzed. I don't even know what question to ask. And I'm too depressed to ACT.…[Read more]

Whatcha workin on? What’s going well?

We got home from TNNA last night. I just got up and am having breakfast now (it's 1pm here). I was exhausted the whole time I was there, so I have no idea yet whether it was a good show or not. I do know I need to come up with a better booth design, because our entire yarn display fell off the wall Monday m…[Read more]

what are you working on? Focus.

what's going well? Driving! (for those that don't know I had serious anxiety with this and had a learner's permit for 19 years. It was ok when we lived in NYC, not so fun when we moved to the suburbs. I took & passed a road test a year and a half ago. I still dislike driving.) This morning I did more solo driving…[Read more]

Going well: I finished the Crochet baby set order. Last Sunday was my last market until September.
Working on: swatching ideas and writing proposals for the editor Meet &Greet at CGOA next month. I have a lot to do and not enough time to get done.
No help this week.
Probably going to miss chat today and work on my samples

Whatcha workin on?

We launched the Early Fall issue of Knotions this weekend and I'm working on the daily promotions. I *think* I've finally got a repeatable plan in place!

We're also taking vacation next week so I need to get all my posts done, images created, and posts scheduled this week. I've created a plan but I still need to execute…[Read more]

What's going well?
I finally stopped lying to myself and accepted the truth; I just don't like the audience and clients I'm attracting. I felt bad about it for a while because it seems like no one talks about this (and I understand why) but dropping the pretense and admitting it to myself has opened me up to be able to shift focus and look for…[Read more]

@varian-brandon and @marcia I agree about the resonance.

I'll put it into my newsletter tomorrow if I remember. If not, the following week. My schedule changed a bit since Mitch decided he wants to go to Napa a day early and I'm scrambling!

Whatcha working on?
I returned from TNNA, am unpacked, sorted, and pretty much ready to move ahead.

What’s going Well?
I am getting things done. I have been pulling all the pieces of moving to Seattle together, plus keeping up with my usual stuff as much as possible.

I have not found time to draw this past week which is sad, but just a time r…[Read more]
