I love everyone's insight!
Your quotes look great!
I am so so glad you experimented with something new!

And, for future experiments, I'd keep your eyes off un-follows. There are just SO many reasons why someone has unfollowed you (maybe it's a spam acct that was deleted!), that it's not a good measure of the success of an experiment. Instead,…[Read more]

Wow. When are people supposed to eat?

Ok, so I'm feeling like it's impossible to find a time when no one is teaching…any suggestions?

I'd be happy to put on my bossy pants and tell you what to do 🙂
First, your website is important in the big picture – you definitely need a base camp where the info for all your stuff is. But to make your FIRST sale, you don't need it. You DO however, need a shop – someway people can buy from you, right now.
I went to your profile to see if you…[Read more]

Whatcha workin on?
Nothing! Ha!
Okay, I just came back from a holiday, so I feel accomplished by not forgetting any luggage on the train, unpacking and browsing through most of my email.

What’s going well?
The holiday was good, I feel full of energy and I wrote myself a lot of little notes before I left so I can dive right back into work t…[Read more]

Yay! So excited for you!!!

what are you working on? All the things.

what's going well? I think I'm finally coming to terms with all the unknowns and extreme last-minute variability of my schedule. E is too. We hope things will settle down soon so it's easier to move forward and not always have to scramble. I'm still trying to pull a few scheduling miracles for next month,…[Read more]

So here's the deal… (been working on a project and been kinda out of it…sorry)

…just found out the Arts Festival is on the 21st. Lots of people. Blocked streets downtown. You can get to our house without going through downtown but it is a bit of a round your elbow thing. I could meet everyone at the Dollar General (aka…Saluda Mall)…[Read more]

awesome possum!!

Thank you, @jill-wolcott. She has only done a few small tasks so far and I am already seeing how beneficial this will be. I think I was afraid that a VA relationship would become one more thing I have to manage and would therefore not actually reduce my workload, but so far that is not the case.

@terri I passed it on 🙂

No, it's not too late, @amy-crook. Thanks so much for your response. I've been out of town but will get you an email requesting the photos by the end of the week. I'm so glad you filled out the survey–thank you! 🙂

No, it's not too late, @linda-tieu. 🙂 I got your response and LOVE it. I've been out of town so will be sending you an email this week requesting the photos, et al. The photo of you could be of you working, a headshot, or a picture of you smiling in beautiful Italy. 🙂 And yes, I wanted to include as many creatives as possible so I'm so glad you…[Read more]
