Hard work....

Hard work really does pay off.  If you've read my last post, I was given some good business advice.  I have implemented some of the ideas...and boy, has it exploded my business.  That, and some help from good friends, who believe in my jewelry. 

I am looking forward to doing more....I have put myself and my jewelry out there, and while I've had so no's (I didn't like it, but I lived through it!), overall my experiences have been good.  I have taken the plunge and hired a part time assistant.  I expect the pressure now to make me more productive.  After all, it's just not all about me now!

So, it's off to plan my next series of steps...where do I want to go with this now?  Good question!  Off to start thinking!!!

Seriously???

I have been very lucky lately to get some really, really good business advice.  Every time I implement something recommended it works!  The downside is I am a one man band!  There is just not enough time or energy to do what I want to do.  And this last week has had some personal challenges....I cry uncle!

Venting about it one day to my hubbie got me the advice that I don't take my business seriously...Seriously???  How can I?  I can't see the way to making it the most important part of my day.  I'm sure it possible...I know it's possible, I am not giving up, but I'm trying to figure it out.

There have been many exciting developments in my business this year, but would like the momentum to continue....And advice?   :-)
