I am at that stage and I thought that I will share it. I think all sides should be shown. Not only the happy and optimistic one – i.e. just plan, get organised, get routine going and you will get there… Today I feel completely different and it is not for the first time. AfterContinue reading “When everything is too much…”

Get (more) scientific with your business strategy
Know your weaknesses! This one has helped a lot, especially this year. I know that I am quite emotional about my business. I tend to think that what I like – others will like or that what I need – others will need. I have quickly learned that this is not the case. Basically, thereContinue reading “Get (more) scientific with your business strategy”
When work morale is low…
I do love spring but I have noticed that spring is not good for my business. I have no explanation for it except for the obvious ones – there are no big holidays, people are more outdoors and not spending that much time online, it is a slow season even for big business and soContinue reading “When work morale is low…”

In between 2 styles of work
I have been working with an employer for many years and for myself just few years. Spring is always the time where the big difference is revealed.

One person business can be a lonely place
Starting a business is a very exciting thing. Especially in the beginning. I have had a small one person business for a while now – 3 years ‘doing it actively’ and 3 years ‘half-heartedly. And there was a long pause. Simply because it did not bring me what I hoped. I have restarted the activityContinue reading “One person business can be a lonely place”

Niche is a big word in the digital world. I do hear it more often: “What is your niche? You do have to have a niche!” It begins to give me bit of an anxiety simply because I don’t have one. Trust me, I am looking for one 🙂 I have listen to countless self-helpContinue reading “Still blogging without a “niche””
Sorting out ideas…
Sometimes I have just too many ideas and sometimes I have none. What helps me in both cases is a thinking page. I ask myself questions and write down ideas as they come. After that I try to streamline the flood of ideas into something more targeted and something that makes more sense. I amContinue reading “Sorting out ideas…”
Blogging in stages
I am not an SEO expert or seasoned content creator but after working for several years in education, I am fairly good in scheduling, prioritising and streamlining. This is how I approach my posts and it may work for you as well. I create a very short post just to test the water. Usually itContinue reading “Blogging in stages”
Create a visual diary
It has been more and more obvious to me that I will not keep up with my journaling. My main reason if being honest is that I can’t be bothered after just finishing my day time job. Lifting a pen is like a lifting a weight on most of my work days. It would beContinue reading “Create a visual diary”
