Pushing onward
You wouldn't know it by looking at my One Stop site, but I had a satisfying day getting nearly to the point of adding another chunk of content. You wouldn't know it, because I still have a little linking together to do before I upload this new chunk.
It's nice, though, to see another step forward. The middle of the week was a little disconnected again and I wasn't feeling like I was getting all that much done.
I've come to the conclusion, though, that I'm going to have to look at bringing in some more contract work to tide us over while the One Stop site matures. Revenues are not sufficient to live strictly off them—yet.
I'm also growing convinced that I need to find a local entrepreneurs' group to join. I'm not even talking about the networking aspect of it. I feel the need to gather with other entrepreneurs—to associate with other positive people who are focused on reaching for their full potential.
The one thing I miss from my office job days is the cameraderie—just being able to sit down with someone else who shares a common vision and common goals. That sharing of the load can be refreshing.
As appealing as working from home can be, we're all social creatures and need that human contact to function at our best. And entrepreneurs especially need to associate with others. Maybe we're not sharing the same load—each of us has a different business to run—but we are sharing many of the same perspectives on life.
So there are now two things to add to my schedule as I prepare for my week away at my daughter's graduation—following up on some leads for potential contract website development, and finding an entrepreneurs' group to join.
The challenge will be to not let the former squeeze out the latter. Without feeding my spirit I can't be at my best.
