Well, not sure that happened, but one thing that did help me was to start reading Dave Crenshaw's The Focused Business: How Entrepreneurs Can Triumph Over Chaos (note: my affiliate link below). He's got a clever (albeit a bit hokey after a while) way of presenting how easily small business owners can get distracted from their mission and goals (or have a hard time formulating them in the first place). I especially like how he gives an action item at the end of each chapter, having led you through how to do that action item throughout the chapter.
His basic premise is Focus, Master, then Diversify. Simple message, hard execution! But there are a lot of tips on how to embrace this message and make it your own. Focus has always been my toughest challenge; I am a great example of someone distracted by bright, shiny objects (as my recent purchase of polymer clay will attest!). So, I am going to be focusing on focusing...
With that in mind, if you are one of my Ravelry pattern purchasers, thank you so much, and you'll be getting a very short (just 3 questions) survey soon asking for feedback. I hope you'll take a few moments to respond. If you're not a pattern purchaser, then I'd love to hear from you as well: please let me know why -- contact at manycreativegifts dot com.
