Tomorrow I start a month-long course to help me develop my own business. I have spent the past couple of weeks kind of dreading it, for a couple of reasons.
\nFirst, the hours. Full time! I haven’t done full time in years. No, wait … I’ve been doing MORE than full time with my child and home! I’ll miss her, and know it will be an adjustment for her, though she’ll be with her dad & nana when I’m away. Plus, those mornings and getting out the door …<\/p>\n
My main worry, though, is over the basic premise: what is this business I’m trying to start, and do I even want my own business? A consulting business sounded great months ago when I first thought of it, but now I don’t know which of the different activities I proposed I actually want to do. Plus, there’s the whole “selling my services” to potential businesses: work and pressure.<\/p>\n
However, this is the path I need to be on now. This is, as was pointed out by optimistic husband, a month-long chance to learn and develop a business idea that I’m actually excited about (to be determined), to get expert help in refining the idea, and to use this as a springboard for whatever comes next.<\/p>\n
In other words, have fun and live in the moment. We can figure out the next step when we get there.<\/p>\n
With this perspective in my heart, and my new year’s resolution to choose happiness in my head, I am going to do my best to be positive and get the most I can out of the coming month.<\/p>\n
In preparation, I’ve vacuumed the house, packed a lunch, picked outfits for the week, and still have to meal plan, bake cookies, and pack my bag for morning. Daughter obligingly put herself to sleep at 5:30 (though she’s already woken up once), so I should be able to finish everything off in style.<\/p>\n
I’ll keep you posted – have a great week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
