I stopped blogging during the middle of last year’s political season because I had too much work at the store to entertain this new hobby. This continued on through the holidays and the first couple weeks of January and then its been cleaning up after the mess the resulted after our first busy season. There is so much that needs special attention and reform in my business life and personal life I couldn’t quickly list all of it.
However I did make some specific decisions and followed through on them somewhat.
I decided I need better accounting especially accounts payable and accounts receivable and that I need better marketing. I can’t afford an accountant or expensive marketing and advertising so this left me only one clear cut strategy to solving that problem. I enrolled to on-line adult education through my community college to learn Quickbooks and for Dreamweaver.
Andy, our management intern, is learning both the accounting software and the web-page software at the same time as me. Also my wife, Leslie is learning Dreamweaver at a real life course at GTCC.
Now that things have been getting caught up, and new strategies and learnings are about to be implemented , it feels like I have time to blog (and other leisurely activities that allow me to reflect and grow).
