New opportunities

Normally,  I try to sit down on Sunday morning with my coffee and write my posts.  However, I have had so much on my mind this past week, I couldn’t really find a sense of direction.  I’m in the planning phases of creating  an online business. I have had two previous online business with little in the way of monetary success.  However, what I learned from each one is priceless.

Now that I am on summer break, I am taking advantage of any and all training I can find. I am also taking the time to really plan and having a clear vision of what I want to accomplish.  The biggest thing I learned with my jewelry business, was that having to repeatedly make a unique product is NOT what I want to do. I also had an online bookstore, the biggest challenge there was storing print books.

It is a lot of work, but I would rather learn now on paper what will and won’t work by creating a business model, than have to find out the hard way. I also have something this time I never had before, the support of my significant other. I can always go to him and voice my ideas and get constructive feedback. It is also a great help that he can build the website. I am so blessed to have such a amazing man in my life.
