Working For The Man
So I haven't kept up on this blog as much as I would have liked. However I do have a really good, if not entirely fabulous reason for skipping out on the whole blogging idea. I've been working my butt off to get my own thing going and depend less on my 9 to 5. However, nobody said it would be easy, and it takes dedication day in and day out to stay the course.
One thing that I've noticed is that it's almost impossible to capture all of your lessons learned. I've been learning something new on a daily basis, and I don't see that stopping any time soon. Probably the most important thing that I have learned is ....
Helping Customers In Need
This week I took on a project that produces no revenue for me, and will probably never put any money in my bank account. Sometimes it just worth it to help others and do something that you feel good about. Unless you've been living under a rock for the last month or so, you've inevitably heard of the disaster in Haiti. An organization came to me asking for a donation of my time and energy and not a product.
I've been asked to screen print 100 shirts for a relief effort, and all I have to do is donate the ink and the time. They are actually paying for the shirts, they just couldn't afford the screening service. I'm ok doing this kind of work once in a while, but it can't be something that becomes an ongoing theme.
It's Been Really Busy
My initial goal of this website was to share the ways I would go about making a few extra dollars per month, in hopes that I would eventually be able to replace my day job.
Well I'm happy to report that I was so busy in January and February that I almost completely ignored this blog. I still checked in and answered the emails that I got, but I didn't have time to share what I had learned. I thought this might be a good time to reflect on the last few months and put down some notes about what's been going on.
