At a Crossroads

What do you do when you discover that what you're doing in your business is not exactly what you had in mind? Do you fold up your tents, take your toys and go home? Or do you readjust, reassess, re-evaluate?Well, I give you three guesses and the first two don't count! Don't give up....readjust your vision, your mindset and move forward with your new plan. I am currently facing this situation in my business. As you know from reading my blog (and if you don't know, you've got a bit of catching up to do, lol) I fell into this business. Deep breath, readers, because I am going to admit, I HAD NO BUSINESS PLAN. Yep, you got it, NO BUSINESS PLAN. I have one now, but rest assured, you're not the only one who flew forward on a wing and a prayer with no idea where I was going when I put up the website.(NOTE: Understand that I am not advocating anyone to fall into a business, especially a storefront with no plan. Please, understand that I am relating my own experience as a mompreneur and business owner....learn from my mistakes!!! LOL) PS You'll soon learn that honesty is both my strength and my weakness.So now I'm at a crossroads. I need a niche and I'm currently working on finding one through research and just plain reflection with a yellow legal pad and pen. I'm ordering new inventory, reformulating some of my products and actually having a good ol' time with it. (Anything that involves purchasing new oils and fragrances, I'm all for.)Basically what I'm saying to all of you is - if you feel "stuck" , please don't give up. Sit down with that yellow (or pink or purple or white) pad and start brainstorming. I guarantee that you'll come up with something that will get you through this time.CeeCee
