Priorities ... Hard to Discern Sometimes

This morning I am sitting here trying to drink a cup of coffee to give me an energy boost while my son is napping; living on 2 hours of sleep I feel my priorities for the day begin to shift - and shift dramatically. My husband tells me to put everything on hold and go take a nap while Caden is sleeping. This is all and well but my two dogs are requiring some attention too as well I promised an associate I would get to the work requested today. So go figure the day I really want to spend my time completing a project is the day I am more exhausted than I have been since he arrived. Strange how the universe gives us cues and clues as to what is not resonating with our true purpose in life.

I have been trying to cut ties with this organization for sometime now but finding I am sticking it out to ensure I get paid my outstanding balance. I know continuing this 'old' type of work focus is not supporting my higher purpose nor my passion for life. It drains my energy and I see this seeping into other areas as well.

I had my first client yesterday post-baby and it was terrific. It gave me energy to get a lot completed in the last few days. I now realize how much I have really put on the back burner over the last three months and it is overwhelming to think of getting caught up.

My priority for business needs to be marketing - attracting new business to me; I also need to be developing a few new products. I made the decision that I am going to expand the Tito's Touch product line by the fall and to include a few infant/baby products as well. But how do I research and develop the new products while I am pulling the rest of the marketing together. Ah ... deligate!

I made a new 'friend' through LWL and her business is in offering virtual adminstration support - Jackie Nees - Integrity Office Solutions. I feel there is definitely a match here. I need to deligate more and in one area I need to make sure I am staying compliant is with my finances - monthly, quarterly and annual reports and filings. Outsourcing this I believe will be my first priority as it ultimately can give me the largest liability exposure.

Lot's to think about and now I am off to see the wizard - about prioritizing that is.

Until next time, thanks for reading and embrace your inner wisdom.

Namaste,
Karen
