I decided earlier this week that I am going to stop stressing over all the things I had planned to do and concentrate on doing one thing really well. So this year I am going to spend most of my working time building my jewelry business. This means I will work on my Etsy shop and create a plan to double my sales this year, work with more stores to build my wholesale business, and add a few more art shows to my schedule.
Now that I know where I want to spend most of my time I will start working on ways to really make things happen. Knowing what I really want to do has really helped with my motivation, and now I am more enthusiastic about working each day.
Is there one area of your business that you plan to concrete on this year?
I always say I'm a 'Jill of all crafts, master of none'. I get bored doing the same thing over and over. It's why I stopped working with seed beads. I get one earring done and didn't feel like making it's mate! Maybe I have craft ADHD which is why I can't seem to get my biz off the ground.
ReplyDeleteMy word for the year is FOCUS. I still have to juggle day jobs and Etsy, but I do have a clearer sense of what I want to do -- develop new products and utilize scraps. Staying focused, however, is a real challenge.
