Reevaluate

So, it has been for ever since I have blogged here. The day after my last post, I went into labor. The list to say, I have not worked on anything for business since then. It really wasn't in the Etsy business in the end. 

I remember this amazing sense of freedom when I decided not to pursue the digital card making venture anymore. I keep mulling over the idea of starting a tutorial days digital art website. I feel like it would be a good idea, but I thought that way about all my previous failed businesses as well.

Sigh, you know what they say about Thomas Edison. If I don't try it, I may always wonder if I could've been successful. 

I hear all these podcasts about women and moms who make enough to get by. And they're happy. And I guess that I would be okay with that as well, but truth be told I want to make enough to be comfortable. It makes me feel vain to say that. If I'm going to spend the time on it, I wanted to be lucrative.

Perhaps my perspective is skewed. Maybe I need to be okay with knowing that my business won't ever be a real moneymaker. Then again, I don't really know what I consider to be successful. 1000 a month? 2000 a month? Three?

I'm reading the book "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" by Steven Covey right now and it's really making me think. About the person that I am and the person that I want to be. I want to be more proactive, to put myself out there more. Will this business in line with the person that I want to be?

I don't know, I just don't know. Well, maybe I have to define who I really want to be before I decide if starting this business is going to help or hurt my self image.  

Hopefully as I read I will blog mine. I do want to be "highly effective person". and I think that I want to start this business. I want to help Brian provide; I just don't want it take over my life. I may be asking too much: I want it to be successful, but I also don't want to spend that much time on the business.

I know that all these questions will take time to answer. I just hope that I am diligent enough to take the time to find answers.
