Time to get serious

Right I am fluttering all over the place and now it s time to do some of the foundations to try and set down what I would like and where I plan to be in the future.

What are my reasons for starting a business?

Well I have worked many years in jobs that I loathe. Jobs where I have gone in and done what I had to do to earn money and nt been happy about it. I want to have a career where I enjoy what i do and I can work around my family. I know that it will interfere a little but this particular business means when I sit down to work they can sit down with me and join in leaning and trying their own things. i can laso get them to help me in areas. If I am teaching young ones how to do something who better to practice on then my girls, also, the elder oes can help me teach the kids.
I want to be able to do something i find fulfilling and show my children they can do what they want when they want, they don't have to do what is expected of them from society in general. I want the freedom to be me and do what I want when I want and I want to make money.
I think I have something to offer.
I want to be available for my girls when they need me.

My objective.

My objective is to have my business up and running by the end of 2007. My teaching at my local TAFE (college) commences in May and I plan to expand that to other TAFEs by 2007 as well.

Hmm things to think on I will come back with more of my business plan.

Busy Busy

Wow what a roller coaster the last couple of weeks have been. Frantically reading up on what I should be doing what other people have done and what i feel I should be doing. Madness. Ain't it grand!!
So what have I been doing?

I have been reworking my website some more. I am happier with it but there are now new sections to it and I am thinking of removing other sections for now the sale section mainly. haven't had much success with that side of it and I actually prefer isting everything on my blog. I find it difficult to update the site all the time I am just not that comfortable with HTML but i get by.

So what else has happened. Well I contacted my local TAFE (technical college) and offered my services to teach a class for basic wire making jewellery. The next thing I know I am being interviewed at the TAFE and that I am going to be teaching a class in May if they get the numbers!

So for those of you out there that wish to learn basic wire making skills please enrol. if it goes well I may even be able to set up another class of intermediate wire jewellery making. I am presently thinking of aproaching a few other TAFEs to see if they would be interested in doing the classes too.
I really want this I am busting myself for this I am making tall this happen. I am finally taking control and going where I wish to.

I really need to get new batteries for my camera i have so many new things to show you all. Ooh on the earring of the month side of things my first shipment went out on time and so on the 30th of April I will put them on show on my web site for eeryone who ordered should have them by then!!

Thanks muchly eveyone I am really happy for the support I have had.

Testing

Hmm I have decided not to move everything from my LJ but I will post more here in regards to my jewellery. Ack 3 blogs what am I doing to myself?

So here is my post

I practiced and I finally managed to figure out how to do wire writing.I love the look of wire names, and decided it was time to learn how to do it.And after making one for each of my girls and the neighbourhood kids I managed to do all the letters bar 8. Kids love it in my neighbourhood when I start something new as they get all the practice items. This is even the boys I tend to have a fair bit of leather on hand to string for them.
I have had a really good idea for a business and now I am checking it out. It is really really exciting to me and I can set it up for minimal costs and take it from there. I plan to start it by the end of the month so April is going to be a very busy month for me.

Oh yes anyone interested in the "earrings of the month" subscription? Every month I design new themed earrings and whoever joins (for a fee) receives a beautiful pair of earrings (sterling silver or gold fill), they will be boxed and wrapped beautifully with a little tag. how nice would it be to receive a new pair each month, handmade and designed, they would also make great gifts for your friends.
