“I need a moment” Th/Jan 8

I’ve decided to change how my blog works. Back in college, I was a writer for our school paper, “The Winonan” and it was really fun to write about whatever I wanted. I had a weekly column, “I need a moment”. I wrote for 2 years, then didn’t get renewed my senior year…which sorta peeved me off. So instead of just staying mad, I worked on my own underground newspaper, “Censor This!”. 

Since my business is building like mad right now and my brain is always focused on work, I felt that writing a blog about my day, clients and dramas, would be something that would help me keep track of memoirs and entertain the blog readers. 

I’ll start with today. Today I woke up and was wondering if today I would still be receiving emails about the Strib article. Yep, all day long again! I can’t believe how it’s continuing on. 4 days later and I’m still getting emails about information for the Project workshops, speaking engagements and folks just congratulating me for a great piece. More importantly…I’m being thanked for creating the project and helping out even though I have a business to run. I feel so happy to be helping and will continue to help as much as I can. 

When you take the first step out into the entrepreneur world, you have no idea what is going to happen. Last December I spent the better part of the month preparing for the Women’s Expo and putting on my “freshman 15”. I was not thrilled with the weight gain that I got from working out of my basement. Last December, I also only had 4 clients at that point, so for me to start this past Dec with a slow week due to holiday and fearing a comeback of “Last December” and being asked by pure strangers to help them find jobs…creating the project only seemed to what needed to be done to save me and help others who really wanted my help.Business picked up again for me shortly after, but I have found the ways to make it all work. I’m a natural connector and I am enjoying every minute of this. 

So on with the day…

I decided to work from home as I had a remote phone support at 9:30 and could lounge around for that. I love working from home, but don’t get those that often anymore. Then I went to the office to find out our internet was down. Yay! Couldn’t do much, so I cleaned my purse and my drawers. My 1:o0 with my business developer Mary Chapa had to be moved to Green Mill where we worked out some business plans.

We came back to the office, still no internet. We borrowed some from the neighbor and figured out the rest of the plans and off I go on the road yet again to a final 5:30 appointment. 

Got home and relaxed and called it a day!
