I haven't written in a while, but I've got a darn good excuse. I've been working a lot. Business is good. Busy!
As consultants, we take the business when we can get it. To me, that is one of the most challenging aspects of being self employed: managing the workload without a) burning out, b) falling behind, or c) interrupting the sales process to deliver work, and then winding up with nothing on the horizon when a big project is completed.
I've been taking active steps to change this. The first thing I did was to incorporate. Yep. I'm now an LLC. I've got two clients on retainer now, and I'm working on establishing other quality partnerships. The goal is to better manage the ups and downs. All that should give me more time to travel, and more time to think about it.
My niece is coming from Texas with her family. I always like it when she visits. Her kids have never seen tall trees and mountains, so I've suggested we meet up in Tahoe and rent a house for a few days. I'm happy! I get to plan real travel, and will hopefully get to a place that I really love. North shore is my favorite. The pace is slower, and there are fewer tourists. I'll let you know what I figure out.
Did you notice that this post was a shameless plug for my marketing consulting business? Yep. I got that web ad into my blog, inserted a link, and there it is! Your turn. Go click on it!
