I am done with CYS!

My North Stars are Joy and Peace. After Chat I reflected on them all day and I am really starting to see how they fit into my world and my business.

I also know what 3 of my 4 quarterly goals are at this point! They are subject to change at map making:

Q1 – Re-brand
Q2 – Upping my game with Social Media
Q3 – Cultivating…[Read more]

@tara I am absolutely loving ConvertKit so far. I'm even signing up to be an affiliate. It's like the people who set it up either ran our sorts of businesses or did enough research to know what our sorts of businesses really and truly need. I literally set-up my incentive on a Sunday afternoon and asked a trusted group of folks to test it and then…[Read more]

Whatcha workin on?
I'm crocheting a lot this week, and wrote up some patterns. I started asking people about proofreading – the one proofreader I have is excellent but she got a new very demanding job and won't have much time for me anymore.

What’s going well?
I did CYS last Saturday and it was a good experience. I was reminded of why I love my j…[Read more]

Found it! I knew I had seen a hotlink somewhere but couldn't remember where. Now I know.

Way back in December, I loved how Amy Crook redid her introduction here. I started to revise mine, but ran out of free time. Here it is:

Hi, I'm Jill Wolcott. I am a knitwear designer. My business is Jill Wolcott Knits. This doesn't give me a lot of places to hide. I am my business, but I'm not making money. While people love my designs,…[Read more]

Whatcha working on?
Cleaning out my office and turning it into a studio again. Staying on top of my social media obligations. Working on my book.

What’s going well/on?
I have done both my blog posts for this week. One has posted, the other is scheduled.

My dinner party for tonight got called off—a relief! I’ll still make lasagne, but now I’m n…[Read more]

Well that was all very confusing! @tara & @clare-devine – I couldn't wrap my head around segmenting my list … I'll try again late when I've had more sleep! But I did discover that you can't use the same signup form to connect to two different lists easily – you need a super fancy developer to work that one out…
Any tips?

That's really helpful @tara – I think I'll have a go at this. I don't mind if they don't find a sign up to my blog anywhere other than my blog at the moment.
@clare-devine I'll let you know how I get on!

@tara, you are right that I find my peace with it by just writing things down quickly. I have to go back and add things in because I forget stuff. I know most of this so it is just a sorting out process which isn't my favorite state. Of course you know that I hate it, but that I know the result is good! I think I know what my north star might…[Read more]

Karen,
Since you have goals, maybe it is telling you you also need some joy? And to find peace with saying no?

Whatcha workin on?
I just finished weaving a couple scarves, and I'm getting ready to thread the loom for a set of recycled sari silk table runners. I'm just trying to get back into the habit of working all day after taking too much time off at the end of last year. I need to re-find my discipline!

What’s going well?
Ummmmm watching tv? When I w…[Read more]

@lesley-austin – What it looks like to do it together, is just what you're seeing here: People sharing their insights, their stuck places, and realizations. And questions, like yours! I agree with @jill-wolcott and @tanja-osswald – just make a list! Thing about the different areas of your biz (ex. products, customers, selling venues,…[Read more]
