Step Away From the Cake

 Love me some new beginnings. And this is kind of the ultimate new beginning, the ending of one year and the beginning of another. Reviewing last year's new year post, I had stated that I would be working on my mental health last year. And I did that to a large extent. Probably not as much as I should have, but I did. I'm in a much better place this year than I was last year. I have made a lot of strides in many areas, but there is still room or improvement.  This year is all about momentum. I just need to keep moving forward. I want to move forward with my health, with my business, with my mental attitude. All of it, just keep making progress. We are leaving today for Dewey, AZ. When we return on Thursday I will need to dig into schoolwork to be ready for Monday. That's not that hard, I just need to sit down and do it. Probably 3-4 hours of solid work and I'll be all set.  My business is humming along. I spent yesterday cleaning and organizing this room. I got all my l...

 I swear they don't. I came to the realization that I need to be myself. I need to do things my own way if I'm going to make them stick. Then I immediately began overthinking things.

Some are going to bomb completely. Some will get some traction. What is going to happen with every single one is that I'm going to learn something. If I can look at this as an experiment, what happens if I post this kind of content? What happens if I post this kind of content? Approach this like a scientist instead of a social media guru. The bottom line, with every single person I've listened to or read, is that you have to be consistent. That is the absolute, single common denominator in all these people messages. Be Consistent!!!!! Every thing else if from their point of view or ...

 Here is a huge part of my problems, in almost anything, I'm always rethinking my choices. I had made a decision months ago to reopen my Shopify store come January 1st, but I was just reading a random comment on Facebook and it made me rethink my decision. No!!! I'm reopening my storefront. It may not happen on Jan 1st, but I'm going to try like h*ll to make sure it does. Okay, that is settled, now it's time to move on.  Yesterday I took the whole day off. I did not think about my store all day. I read. I napped. I watched TV. I napped. I did pour some dominoes because I got black resin and I really wanted to try them. But otherwise, I did nothing related to my business and it felt good. I feel like I'm mentally ready to tackle some stuff today.  Today is my first CEO meeting. I need to figure out what exactly I want to accomplish this week and develop a plan to go about it. I'm thinking of having CEO meetings once a week for now. I have a new planner that I wan...
