Business Acumen

Sitting here in a cold office, I realize Crystal Therapy is not a salient business model these days. The timing isn't right yet, or else I'd already have @ least a barebones clientele after almost 2 years of practice & multiple marketing campaigns.

What has emerged f/the woodwork is website work. For some reason, I've had semi-regular projects over the last 2 months after a year-plus long dry spell. Weird.

Traditionally, SDT was always a distraction - something I treated more like a pastime than an actual business. Well, turns out it's actually taking shape...not quite sure what to do next. Meanwhile, I'm still not making enough yet to avoid financial challenges (rent, bills, xmas, taxes, etc.).

Obviously, some adjustments should be made.

Trimming the fat - big time. Sold a whole bunch of stuff recently & am continuing this trend until I have exactly what is needed & nothing more. Gifting things too, in the spirit of the season. Honestly, I'm glad to give away. Feels like I've been taking too much lately. A balance must be struck here in terms of sharing abundance, even if times are economically tough.

The abundance work I began in the fall still isn't done yet. It was suspended in the interest of logistics. Add that to the list...

I made noise about seriously developing SDT for a long time, & it's finally happening now. Feel so far behind financially tho, don't know if I can catch up again - crunch time is here.

Life will become very light & mobile for the next few months. I'm moving f/Eastham to somewhere temporary for a month, then perhaps Florida for February. Afterwards, back in March for a fresh start.

My external circumstances are still trying to catch up w/the internal changes. The void is dark & nebulous as ever, but am slowly finding my way out. Of course, a breadcrumb trail would also help.

That is all.
