I have decided to start FRESH in the New Year. I am making a vow to myself that this will be the year that I will make my little crafty hobby (as my dear husband refers to it) into the business that I know it can be. I have let too many things sidetrack me and get in my way for what seems like forever. I have dreamed about this for way to long and I now am going to make it my reality.
Over the years, I have worked at having a home-based craft business. I have worked really hard, then I let life get in the way, work really hard, then let life get in the way…I have found it very difficult to keep the focus on what it is I really want and I have allowed this cycle to continue, all the while kicking myself, that I have not worked as hard as I should have and I have not accomplished that DREAM that I see vividly in my mind. I know it can be done, I see others achieving it…all the while keeping all the balls in air as they accomplish what needs to be taken care. Enjoying the happiness of their craft, which is actually the love of their life, and moving in the direction of success. The bottom line for me isn’t because I do not want this success…I do, as we all do, I just need to STOP dropping the ball. Now in all fairness to myself, I have accomplished many things over the past 28 years. A mother, crafter, college student, instructor, business owner, and for the past 6 years working for company that was extremely successful, slowly move into a space where we are not sure if the doors will be open in the next 60 days. I have gone from part-time employee, to now working full-time, from a full-time mom, to a mom with two adult children out of the house and one in High School (so kind of a part time mom) So with this being said, I have to be in control of my own financial security and happiness. So, when I woke with this on my HEART, I knew I was being guided to do what needs to be done. “Doubt is being on the fence, it comes from a place of NO, Success comes from a place of YES”, and I will do what needs to be done to create the successful path that lays in front of me to make my own happiness and success, one tiny step at a time. I will focus on something small and
grow this business into something BIG!!! But, where do I begin? Well, at the beginning of course…
I need to see the whole picture, so I am going to create a VISION BOARD for Sew Vintage Cherry 2016,an put it in my sewing space, where I can see it daily
I am also going to create BUSINESS PLANNER, that will be based on each step and what I need to do to get it completed, I am also be posting a weekly Blog Post ( a journal of sorts), so I can track what steps I’m taking and what is or isn't working and also, it will make me accountable. So I hope you will follow along with me on my journey to make Sew Vintage Cherry the success I know it can be, and who knows, maybe something I share will spark a little something in you!
