SO VERY TRUERecently I have been criticized by some people, about me not posting in a steady rhythm on
Social Media, for not writing a blog for months, for canceling some markets etc.etc. In other words, running my business in a bad way. The honest truth is...........YES, they are right. But even more honest, NO, I do not care. I am a one-woman-business, trying to do it all in the margin of regular life and started with a lot of fun and happiness. And that feeling I want to hold and keep. So I am doing the PR and Marketing, Social Media updates and so no, exactly how I want. Well, thinking about it, that is not correct, not "how I want" but "what I am capable of, within my day to day life". Between the last week of April and now, my father in law passed away after some hospital time, our best friend got a stroke, my partner broke his foot, a nephew had temporary brain damage after a sports incident, 2 of our dogs needed some surgery and recently my own Dad ended up in hospital and needed an operation related to a heart infarct. 5 months of hospitals, emergencies, caring, worrying, organising, traveling........weeks that were completely overtaken by the things happening in life, not the things I was planning in my life. And then it is very obvious that my business is not on plan A, but not even on plan B or C. Maybe we can better talk about "in the range of plan K". I am lucky enough that I am in a position that I can drop everything and start caring, helping, worrying, visiting, etc. for other people (& animals), who are important in my life. So even though some of the advises are not negative...........I do not need to know what I have to do for my own business. I am not Amazon, Bol.com or one of the other giant companies, I am just me, having some fun and..... TAKING LIFE WITH EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO ME, WHILE I WAS BUSY MAKING OTHER PLANS. And now I go to the beach, as it is also important to have your priorities right :-)
