I have finished CYS and this time round I found it an empowering and inspiring experience. (We won't dwell on last time…). I also have to thank @karen-robinson and @joeli-kelly for their support getting my accounts in order over the last 6 months. It was such a wonderful experience to get to the finance section – hop onto my excel spreadsheet,…[Read more]

I am happy to read things are starting to fall into place for you, and I agree that time is often what we need in these processes. I frequently find myself staring at the blank page feeling that awful sense of dread as I do not know where to start. For this CYS I have tried to jot down notes and then come back and fill in the blanks again and…[Read more]

I really love your north stars. I think confidence is such a key issue for so many of us. I know I have just been through my CYS feeling positive and then got to the end and had a bit of a panic about whether I am actually capable of all these lofty ambitions.

Looking forward to seeing your business progress in 2016.

Hi Jane

I agree with Tanja and Joeli. I approach my North Star words as a sort and “check and balance” system. If I do X will it result in Y (Y being the north star). So if I work with this person will it help me achieve the goal of independence, does it fit with my long term goal of self publishing etc.

Is this the first time you have done…[Read more]

Goal: In three months, I'll have at least three new physical Spring/Summer products on my site. Bonus if I complete a pattern, which will be my first published pattern.

I'll know that I met this goal if the three items are posted on my site, which means there's good copy and product photography. Bonus if I add lifestyle shots within this…[Read more]

Thank you so much @jill-wolcott. It makes me smile whenever I remember his dream. And last night he showed me how to find the North Star when I asked. I wouldn't have thought to ask if I wasn't thinking about this group and finding my own North Star.

Thank you for your “unordered” : ) thoughts @tanja-osswald. I am finding that the back and forth and Time help so much with clarifying.

-I probably am looking ahead too much, but I believe that is because it isn't coming together for me yet and I am uncomfortable. But I think I am seeing an umbrella goal (or divine, beautiful thing) that can hold…[Read more]

Hey all! I had to change my destination for 1Q2016 when I figured out that the trade show I wanted to do was the same weekend as my daughter's western mass junior district orchestra performance (proud mama moment – she's an awesome violinist).

BUT! I think it's actually a good thing, because my new goal is to do trunk shows at two toy stores as a…[Read more]

So I finished my Q1 map and did it a bit differently this time. I made boxes on the computer with different text boxes colored coded as to what they pertained to – stitch markers, jewelry, home decor, social media, selling venues. I printed two out, one in my Map-Making Guide book for 2016 (kept at my desk) and the other to be put up in my…[Read more]
