Well I now have TWO business up and running! (Didn’t I say I wanted to take a step back and spend more time with my family?)
Cataluña is the business that I have had for over 12 years now. It is web site design and hosting. I have done all kids of marketing, sales, offerings etc. over the years. It has been a great business and now I have made all kinds of partners so hopefully I can help my clients even more!
The other business I have (well actually WE) is Cataluña Designs! We are making unique beaded hair accessories and jewelry for little girls. We have been doing this for over a month and have made over 13 sales! Things are going well. What is nice is that the initial craziness is over and things are much more calm. It really is perfect.
Having both businesses is really great. The first is more established with more of a regular income and something that I know well. The second is feeding more of creative side. It’s fun and something new.
As a mom of two there are so many things that pull me in different directions. I found that having both businesses is allowing me some time that is dedicated just for me – things that I like to do. It is important to have those things for yourself. It helps keep your sanity and opens you up to so many other things.
What do you do to keep your sanity?
