'I get what I want' pencils by The Carbon Crusader |
If you work full-time you know how everyday life can make you plod along. We wake up, shower, go to work, work-work-work, go to the gym, go back home, watch two movies and sleep. And the whole thing isn't as bad as it sounds really. You just don't notice how time flies by.
Until something small happens - like somebody at work pissing you off. That's when you look around to notice how you've settled into a routine and forgotten about the dream stuff. It happened to me. I realized I've done nothing about my business because I was fine where I was. But things can always be better. So I picked up my business activities again.
This time I'm set on succeeding. If it takes me months, if it taps into my personal account (I actually have a business account although it'd be empty if I didn't fund some stuff myself). I've started doing the following things:
- New products for my Etsy shop
- New shop at http://meylah.com/ammadin
- A stall at a local village fete
- An Ittybiz course called The Emergency turnaround clinic
- Marketing incentives
So far it's all in construction mode. This blog will serve me as a diary to reflect on how things are developing. Hopefully, the results will come soon enough.
