One and a half years later...
It has been over one and a half years since my last post. What happened? Well, life happened. Fortunately for me my learning experience continued to deepen my understanding of business, both online and offline, and the result has changed my life immensely.
After getting my book marketed (www.best-dog-breed-for-children.com) AND continuing to work for other people (www.assistant-for-hire.com) I also found a new opportunity to grow and diversify my income. Following my passion I stepped outside my comfort zone to start what I call a 'real life' business - one that operates face-to-face with clients.
Real estate has been a huge force in the last few years and with it has come a fairly new industry, at least in it's present form: home staging. Of course, big marketers have used staging to sell new developments for many, many years, but staging personal homes for resale is still new.
With a little curiousity and a lot of gumption I went about examining the business to see if 1) there was a market and 2) what skills or education were needed. Looking for opportunities and taking calculated risks has rewarded me with the best of both worlds - I have an automatic income from past writing, regular and interesting work I can do at home with my online business and a rewarding and creativly challenging business in home staging.
I am so thankful for the learning process and to see the fruits of these labours that I hope to share more about my journey. Please give me any feedback you may have - questions, comments, ideas - so my work can help someone else, and if you're still reading this post, thanks for your patience and I hope your life has changed for the better as well!
