So, I did it. I figured out a name for my business and designed and ordered my business cards. Aaaaahhhh! Now it’s official. And a little scary. But I have people recommending me right and left, so it needed to be done. And they turned out dang cute! They should come in the mail in about a week! Yippee!!!!
Now, as documented in my last post, I am not a planner or a scheduler. But it appears that I am going to have to become more that way with calendars, receipts, etc. I need to keep track of things as they are scheduled and as money comes in. Okay, now I’m feeling sick….please pray that God will teach me these new things with a part of my brain that has not been fully utilized, maybe ever. Scoot over creativity – practicality is coming to town… 🙂
I am excited! Terrified, but really, really excited. Oh, and my new business name is JJ’s One of a Find (Staging, Styling and Simplifying Just For You).
Please pray!!!!
Love it!!! The name’s perfect!
Grab a box and decorate it. Throw all your receipts, invoices, etc in it so everything always stays together (your biggest hurdle is to not LOSE anything!). Keep a binder or spiral notebook exclusively for anything related to your business (ideas, prices, phone numbers, leads, etc.) so it’s all in one place and you’re not looking under the bed and in your hamper for that note you jotted down the other day. Your own organizational spin will develop as you go, so don’t sweat it — it will come. A separate bank account will simplify things too. And if one of your kids is more organized than you, put that child to good use!
(You said, “just tell me what to do and I’ll do it”. I took you literally….) 🙂
By the way, I seem to recall you being pretty darn good at math, so I think your jitters are ill-founded.
Thanks, girl! I love your input. I’m not worried about the math part, just the keeping track part. And I probably need to get a business license, right? Thanks for putting the organizational ideas in terms of things I can relate to – doesn’t seem quite so scary that way! Especially if I get to decorate the box 🙂 Love you much and thanks for your ongoing support. Still want to hear more about your new endeavors, girl! Hugs!
it’s not a great pic, but it gives you an idea… 🙂
