Well where has this month gone? I set out to accomplish a list with goals and new products, and the busyness of life seems to have snuck up on me.
But on an optimistic note it is only January. I have a vision for this new year! I'd love to turn my business into an official business, as the Lord guides. I still feel passionate about things I design for my shop, and that is enough for me to know I enjoy it. When there comes a time I no longer enjoy but despise it I think it will be time to move one. But I'm not there, I'm here and I'm excited about pursuing this passion.
Perhaps this is what I'm supposed to be doing? I guess we never really know until we step out in faith. Many changes are upcoming for me for the year and so why not add this to the list :)
I went ahead and ordered the book Craft Inc. that I have talked about on here. I'm so excited to receive my very own copy. I was so impressed with how it was written, I think it will be the perfect help for me while I step out into the scary world of being a business.
I have a lot of questions about doing this, but excitement as well. I have visions of marketing my company to local shops, and what I need to do to create a marketing package for them. First things first, solidifying my logo, and all the collateral that goes with it. Next is making sure all my files are organized and easily accessible for any design changes. Organization is not my strong point unfortunately, but I've slowly developed a file system that has graduated into a more simplistic and understandable system. Now to go back to my old old files and re-organize them into the new. Sigh. This is the part that is not fun, but needed.
Prayer is my final and most prevalent tool. I seek a job that is honorable to the Lord and if this isn't the right road for me, I trust that God will provide the right one.
Now to just step out on faith, that will be the challenge!
