So this post is a little late to really be about the new year, but at least we are still in January (barely) and of course I haven't taken down the Christmas tree yet, so it still FEELS like the beginning of the year! Yes, I know, it is pathetic, but the craziness of consulting back in the business world resulted in my loosing an entire month!
I got to January and realized that not only had I done basically nothing for the business, but I had a booth at TNNA (the wholesale trade show) in three weeks (last weekend) along with teaching and I had done (for all practical purposes) NOTHING!!! So two days were taken up with panic stricken paralyzed. Then I figured out what the new line was going to be and worked like business depended upon it (and it did to some degree) and made a reasonably good showing last weekend.
One of the two classes I taught was sold out at 50 students!!! I received lots of very positive feedback in the booth, so that was great. The new product line was very well received and I finally feel like I know where I am taking the business. Having a mission and focusing on it (Taking Knitters to the Next Level) really has made a difference.
So now it is time to get the website updated. I am expecting to do two updates in relatively short order. The first one will update the general content, but not the look. The second should be updating the look to better reflect the mission. Keep an eye out -- I am dedicated with a new level of energy -- watch out!!
