It is another day, and I for one am going to run with it! I know that my last two posts have been rather dim, but this weekend I connected with some really positive people and that is what it takes. When we build each other up it is easy to survive the slow times. I had a conversation with three people, and they were so positive, and uplifting. I think that for the next week, I am going to make a commitment to find one new person each day to pass along this feeling. The main sales season is just… Continue

Who knows I might try this one, I am not sure how effective it is, but I signed up to get the information. I have also began uploading more files to Singular a… Continue

On Sunday I always try to reflect on the past weeks progress. As an artist, or any business person, I am am usually apt to gauge my success based on sales. That is not always the best gauge. Success can be reflected in number of hits at your site. It can also be reflected in the number of comments to a blog entry. In truth, a successful business is the result of many different parts coming together in unity. There are many parts of a business that have be tended to, success comes not only from q… Continue
