Two Cents Worth

Family obligations, vacations, and burn out sometimes takes us out and away from business. In the year I’ve been at VNWR I’ve seen it a few times. Recently, I was at a point where I was starting to do less and less everyday. I had some great ideas, but I just couldn’t put them into action. I would sit at the computer and nothing would come together. I was starting to get frustrated, and I thought more and more about taking a step back for awhile. As it turned out family obligations made the decision for me and I had to step away from business for several weeks. But I didn’t have a time frame for when I‘D be ready to get back to work. I felt when the time was right I’d know it. I did the bare minimum to maintain my business, and that was mostly on my mainstream accounts.

I felt like a weight was lifted my “last day of work”. I don’t know why really. Although I was frustrated, I was having fun...I was learning new things everyday and business was good. I chalked it up to life’s ups and downs and then moved on. I thought about business while on hiatus - what changes should I make?... what direction should I take?... how am I going to manage time better? I thought about what I liked best and what I liked least about this business and how I was going to balance it out, and I continued to write down ideas.

About three weeks had gone by and things were starting to settle down a bit at home and I had more free time, but I wasn’t ready to get back to work. My head still wasn’t in it, but I had the time now to stop by VNWR and see how everyone was doing. A few days passed and I took a peek at a project that I can’t seem to get finished. The sponsor offered some unique promo material and I wanted to use it to make fpa for all sites this sponsor promotes. It’s a rather simple on-going project, it’s basically a lot of cut and paste, and the biggest decision I had to make was how I wanted to link them together, but it just stalled. When I looked at it the other day, I suddenly had a lot of enthusiasm, and I realized “the time was right” to get back to work. I planned to jump right in the next morning.

After the boys left for school, I was at my desk ready to go. I checked mail first - Two pieces of mail needed my immediate attention. One was to renew a domain and renew and update virus protection. simple enough... But it’s always something - I wanted the expiring domain to be registered with a different registrar. It’s not that it was a big deal - but it was more “paperwork” than simply renewing a domain. The virus renewal and update required downloading and making some adjustments afterward. Morning is now afternoon and I’m finally able to work on my project. I enjoyed working that day. and I managed to get a few things done before the “horror hour” (in my house the horror hour is when the boys get home, they’re starving...dinner isn’t quite ready...they start getting cranky...and then all hell breaks loose. lol).

That night after the family was fed and the kitchen cleaned I settled back into work. I popped in at VNWR to say hello and bingo had just started. I hadn’t played in so long, and it was fun to see everyone again and I decided to play. It was my lucky night - I won! :)

The prize was a TGP from tgpheadstart for 3 months. All I have to do is supply the galleries and tgpheadstart will do the rest and I needed to jump on it. Considering I have not done any tgping, I had my work cut out for me and I got started right away. This is a great prize, not only was I going to learn something new, it will certainly give my business a boost. This now became my priority and I ’ll have to finish my other project along the way. Even the best of plans...

Winning the bingo game was more than just a great prize - it gave me new excitement. I’m so glad I stopped by to say hello that night, it was the kick in the butt I needed to get going. If you’re still lurking or find yourself in a rut - play a game of bingo. Not only is it good therapy to chat with friends who know what you are going through, you just might win a prize that will motivate you, teach you something new and, in my case, keep you busy for three months.

Well that’s just my newbie two cents...
Have a great week!
