Site-Wide Activity

@cindy-willingham, the focus has been a l o n g time coming!

Now sit back and enjoy that done feeling. Whatever happens you will get valuable feedback that will take you forward. Enjoy.

Way to focus @jill-wolcott! I could use some of that.

Wow! I completely missed this! Did you all meet? I am in Raleigh!

Yesterday I seemed to kill everything I put my mind to. I made all the phone call and sent and followed up on all the the emails I needed to do, I finally figured out how to add a giveaway to newsletter signups, got a blog post up, sent contracts back for Taos, and worked through a bunch of stuff on my desk.

Goal: In three months, I will have a better understanding of the effectiveness of my business activities by reviewing them weekly.

How will I know I have reached this goal? I will have reviewed my business activities each week in Q2. (Metrics used: Is the weekly review complete or not?)

Mile Markers:

Thank you for all the helpful ideas!

So I ended up sending her another email basically restating what I said about not wanting to collaborate and adding that I was not going to use the paragraph. Keep up the enthusiasm, see you later, type of thing.

THEN I got 3 more emails from her. I haven't read them.

I made myself a folder in my email…[Read more]

True confessions – I've only just started on my first cup of coffee and when I scrolled past this thread I read “Your Sensual 2016”. Click bait – I totally clicked through!

I'm off to actually work on my business and hope I don't accidentally write any inappropriate emails to my retailers.

@cindy-willingham Thanks! I like it too! My best friend is a wedding photographer and she literally piled yarn in my arms, and started snapping pictures. She totally gets my weirdness!

@kimberlie-kohler, that is an awkward situation. She seems like a puppy, dancing up and down with enthusiasm. It would be sad to answer her good intentions with a slap in the face. On the other hand, you cannot spend your time entertaining her.
What about waiting three days and then read through all her mail and just answer a couple of…[Read more]

Maybe that is part of why they like you, @jill-wolcott.

You know what I hate? When someone is at a wedding or something and uses Instagram as their camera. Really. I don't care about that particular event. If it really irritates me (usually if they are serial offenders) I just quit following them. I figure the same thing happens to me for other reasons, which probably aren't of particular interest to…[Read more]

Thanks, Jill-good point about not using that paragraph now, too!

Good response @barbara-kish. If it were me I would just end it. If she decides to unsubscribe to the newsletter, then so be it. However. I would not use her paragraph. If you do you will leave yourself open to whatever she has in store for you.

I'm so relieved to read the, “I'm not so sure about this!!!” posts.

It's so weird to do this as a not-teacher; I'm used to planning, and used to planning forwards and backwards (i.e., I choose concert pieces based on what I want the kids to reinforce and learn in the given time period, and then break that down into how many rehearsals we have…[Read more]

<So I responded really nicely that I loved her enthusiasm and that if she wanted to she should definitely start a blog (she mentioned she always wanted to start a blog) and that I wasn’t interested in collaborating right now>

I think you could pretty much re-state this once more if you feel the need, leaving off the last bit of the original s…[Read more]
