The Blues
February 20, 2008
Ok people, I gotta tell ya, January and February have been a slow couple months. I think it is a combo of consumers are now feeling the guilt of holiday spending, Anderson Cooper talking about how bad the economy is and the weather plays a big part. Just so you get my drift, actual temperature today is -20 degrees. Burrsville!!!!
I struggle to stay motivated when business is slow. I know, I know!!! This is the time when I am suppose to be tackling the stack of papers that need to be filed and work on new strategies to improve business (understand…I already have a strategic planning time set in my daily schedule. It happens between 10 PM -2 AM at my home office, AKA my bed). What I am realizing during this slow time is I am passionate about what I am doing. Without my passion I could easily get discouraged and want to throw in the towel. BUT…my passion is the arts! I love surrounding myself with beautiful art, talented Artists and people who have an appreciation for the arts. I even enjoy the everyday challenges of running a business.
I AM in the right place, doing what I am suppose to. Thank you “slow times” for allowing me to reflect.
