Step Away From the Cake

 I've got a bit of a head cold again!  Now I haven't had one since school started, but looking back at my blog I apparently get them kind of frequently. That sucks. Didn't sleep so well last night. Got up this morning and ended up back on the couch. I had trouble breathing during the night due to a stuffy nose, but laying on the couch, slightly elevated, helped the breathing. So I snoozed on the couch until Hubby got up. As per usual, I'm not feeling bad, just stuffy with a cough. Guess I'll just suffer through it.  In other news, I signed up for this YogaBody daily program. They provide 15 minutes of strength workouts and 15 minutes of stretching routines every day. You are also supposed to add in 30 minutes of walking. It's done by the guy who does my stretching program which I just love, so I decided to give it a try. The main reason is for consistency. I need consistency. When we lived on Lydia Lane I lost a bunch of weight with just walking. It wasn't t...

 So I've kind of stepped back for a few days and not done anything with my business. I've been giving it some serious thought about how I want to proceed. I know that I have a habit of going off in 100 different directions and I need to have a focus. I'm thinking that focus is going to be dogs. Or pets, I'll do cats too. I sat last night and tried paracord knotting. I made a bracelet to try it out and it was super easy. Having no idea what I was doing, I made it in less than an hour. I'm thinking of offering collars with name tags and maybe even matching leashes. I'm going to practice a lot more, but I'm thinking this might be the way to go. I have dog bowls that I've never really worked on. I could offer a doggie set; bowl, leash, collar, name tag; all color coordinated and matchy-matchy and personalized. This doesn't mean I'm done with my laser stuff, just need to find something to make money on. Okay, time for work. 

 That is how I feel. At least in regards to my little business. When I started this thing, I did not have a clear path in mind. I said, I'm going to get a laser and start a little side business. I did not for a minute think about what I wanted to make or how I wanted to go about this. I was going to start a business. Okay. Then I jumped into Shopify having no freaking idea what exactly I was doing. That didn't work well. I joined a marketing program. Yeah, that didn't work well. I spread out and tried everything. I mean everything. I did ornaments. I did door signs. I did artwork. I tried earrings. The earrings led me to resin. So I tried everything there. I've gone down so, so many rabbit holes with this business and nothing has really seemed to stick. I have even signed up for a course to learn to design my own things so I don't have to buy anymore - but that's for the laser. I think it is time to take a step back and regroup. I'm at the point where nothin...
