The working staycation

I’ve deliberately given myself a bit of a break this week so I can evaluate what’s next.  I wish I could say that the garden is now in shape as a result, but I can say that 35% of it is and that I’ve given in and started using insect repellent because it’s a known fact that effective entrepreneurs are not constantly itching! I’ve given myself some time in the afternoons to just sit and read a good book and that’s valuable time too.  It can be easy to get so caught up in the to-do list that you forget to have some of the life you’re working so hard to achieve.

I’m in something of a dilemma when it comes to my bread-baking business idea – it has not taken off. I haven’t done everything that I possible could, but… it’s not my passion either. It began as an interesting idea and I’ve investigated it enough by trying it to see that it either is not the right time, price, or product.  The feedback I got was positive, but not with orders. There are a couple of things I still want to try around foreclosure maintenance but it may well be one of those good ideas that isn’t profitable.  They happen; the trick is to not lose heart in my other efforts which are where my heart, ego, and soul are invested.  That’s next week’s focus – get the beach glass jewelry site up and running. People can’t buy what isn’t for sale…

It’s amazing how fast time goes by – I blink and it’s a month later.
