I spent a couple of hours gathering some business financial records. Chris is going to help me simplify that part of my business and I welcome the help. There are some things she is really good at and some things I’m really good at. It’s a nice balance. I accidentally made an omlet for breakfast. … Read more
As is often the case, Chris and I went grocery shopping today. In times past, before the coming of the virus, I would sometimes drive Chris to work and then do shopping during the week. These days with our feeling that she really needs to “decontaminate” after being at school and my work and meeting … Read more
I signed up a new client. This will be 8 sessions of me teaching her marketing for an online class she is building. She seems like a good fit for what I do, it should be fun, and it’s work very similar to what I’m doing with Trish on her paid workshop. It’s nice to … Read more
A former client of mine is having some personal and business problems. We had partnered to collaborate on a couple of projects and while we’ll be able to continue on those, I don’t see working further with her on new work. This is a little unsettling. Not because I’m really losing anything, it’s just a … Read more
I had a call with a new potential client today. It feels like a good fit and we have a follow up call Friday to talk business and if my proposed plan makes sense (it will) and the money I want fits her budget (it should). This was a referral from another client and I’m … Read more

Today being labor day, it’s a holiday though one I usually end up working because I’ve normally been in California and left to my own devices. This year I’m happily in Minnesota and Chris doesn’t have school and we have our luncheon appointment visiting my client / partner Trish and her husband. We had a … Read more
It was good I got the furniture painted yesterday as it was raining over night. The paint is fine and they all look much better than they did. I’ll be looking for a warm dry day when I can do some touch up. It’s getting cooler this coming week with more rain so hopefully that … Read more
Chris made it through her first week back at school with kids present. She only had students full time Thursday and Friday and it sounds like it was as safe as such a thing can be. 1/2 the usual number of kids each day. Everyone masked. Getting kids to put on masks properly. Mask and … Read more
I’m considering that it’s time to find an off-shore virtual assistant to help me with my LinkedIn outreach. I think there’s about 2 hours a day of work that should be put into that and I have not been putting that in lately. Need to figure out the balance here. One thing I need to … Read more
