Getting Back to Basics

I am sitting here nursing my son and reflecting on my first day of training yesterday. I have three more full days and I am beginning to see how I needed to begin again and get back to the basic of rebuilding my business after taking some time off to be with my son.

Earlier this week we decided to inject a base amount to cover the next six months worth of expenses as a loan to the company. My intention is to build a strong enough marketing plan to provide a full client base by October 1 and then I can begin repaying the loan back with a goal of a repayment period of a year.

This has been an interesting exercise since I am having to balance caring for my son and two dogs with the business research and planning. Not the easiest when we are stilling getting him into a sleeping schedule etc. But I will survive :)

I made the decision last night that in order to make sure I get enough practice of what I am learning this weekend to offer free craniosacral sessions to the local LWL members. This acts two fold - obviously - one to gain practice hours in and two give exposure of one skill set to potential clients. Within an hour I had four women email and request a booking. So this makes me both excited and nervous all at the same time. I have a woman who will come over and look after the baby and dogs while in these sessions but the doors have not been installed and the 'decorating' of the practicum room has been on hold due to giving birth. The benefit of these four appointments is it will act as motivation to make changes in there weekly to ensure as more members come and then discuss with each other their experiences they will be noticing the changes to the environment as well. I am confident more women will be contacting me to take advantage of the offer. I am excited as this one step/approach has me fulfilling at least three goals I have set.

Jumping on twitter https://twitter.com/kmkleinwort has forced me to really become aware of how I am spending time - thanks twitter! Please follow me by the way and I will follow you too! I have decided because of this new found awareness that my blog postings will begin to be and need to be more of what my original intentions were - focus on the building of my business - what is new and exciting while giving some of my business wisdom away and offering tidbits of guidance on how to handle change in our lives.

My goal is to keep these short as well. So until next time ... embrace your inner wisdom!

Thanks for reading.

Namaste,
Karen
