Going to the local Enterprise Clubs has enabled me to do this. To any of you who are considering setting up a business, or who are already running their business and want some support, I absolutely recommend going. I've met some great people by going. Some are now friends. Importantly, I have learnt LOADS.
I read a lot of business and self development books too! Have I learnt a lot about myself...
Two nights ago I went to the monthly meeting. There was a guest speaker (there often is) who gave 10 tips on how to run a successful business.
One of those steps is discipline. Eek! How to be disciplined and still keep the creative juices flowing? THE best way is to have a weekly timetable. Yep, just like the one you had at school! You timetable in all the things you need to do to run your business: business planning; sales; marketing; systems. Everything. Mine includes sewing. A timetable where I spend hours sewing. Bliss!
It has definitely been a Retro day... though I like to think my school timetables only happened in the '80s...
My Mum gave me this pattern that she had used herself.
I remember her dress. It was light blue with a pale white cross pattern on it. Nylon I think. Lovely. Well, it was the 70's!
I used the pattern to make a top rather than use it for a dress. Instead of putting a zipper in the front I used buttons. I even made them myself.
I no longer have the top. I have a (good) habit of giving things to charity.
This is the only picture I have of it. Ahem, about 20 years ago...
Right, it's back to my timetable for me. I'm even ahead of schedule! Wow. This discipline thing works!
Have a fantastic weekend everyone!
Until tomorrow,
Nic xx
