I realized that over the last four months I have let my personal dreams slip. While I've spent lots of time worrying about people and things that couldn't be changed, I've forgotten about what I want to do. And it's time I refocus, or at least spend a good portion of that time on my dreams.
I've had the dream of starting my own scrapbooking supply business. I've always wanted to have my own brick-and-mortar store selling all the supplies I have (which, thanks to "friends" are less than they should have been), but I want to design and manufacture my own out-of-the-box supplies. And to do that, I need to design them.
Martha Stewart didn't start her first catering business until she was 39. I'm just barely 32. So, with 7 years left, I should be able to make some headway. But this time I'll do it right. Martha wrote in her book, The Martha Rules (see below) that she recommends only investing in your business with cash. That's how I messed up the last time. Credit, credit and more credit. I'll be paying off that debt until the end of time. But now's the time to make a change. Do something that I want to do and do it the right way.
And that day starts today.
