Load of Work Descended On Me
Photo by Richard Dudley
That’s why I didn’t get the chance to write about how I did the Tweetbacks beautifying as I promised you last week. Two clients big stuff going on, one moving systems – that’s always challenging and need a lot of brainstorming. Another one is launching new product and wants to do a dry run next Thursday which means I’ll have to shelve my own projects for a few days.
Thankfully, I’ve been able to put in quite a bit of work on my own stuff this week. Anyhow, just to let you know if I get silent during the coming week.
On another note, you know, I am very thankful for the work load I have. In this economic state where everyone is literally losing everything. My work load has not stopped and in fact has grown. I’ve also been very blessed lately to be able to work with Stephen Pierce’s team on their membership sites. Maybe it’s our industry.
I know this may sound really harsh and not everyone is like that but I told my husband the other day, while *some* of my friends were earning fantastic (inflated?) incomes and buying all kinds of expensive toys, houses and cars to big for them, I slogged day and night on the computer, often for a pittance. I’ve done my fair share of $0 to couple of cents per hour work building this business. Many thought I was crazy but I know some just thought I was downright dumb.
Now it seems the tables are turning – or have turned. Those same people are now having to live on super tight budgets and things are looking good here. I actually hesitate to say that because I can be quite superstitious and in the Chinese culture, we try not to say good things about ourselves, our business, our families in case we jinx our good luck. But you know, it’s more than just good luck. In many ways I feel I’ve paid it forward.
What about you? Thoughts?

Lynette,
good to hear that your business is prospering. I think that good work, good relations and continuity in maintaining these, pays off. Not only in these so called bad economic times, but always.

This post is very inspirational. Being new in the blogging world and wanting to be a WAHM I have to realize that I may have to do it small or free for a while. Which is fine for now, but can also be frustrating. Thanks for basically telling me to keep it going.

@Tom Thanks for the reminder. So true, good relationship don’t run out of fashion.
@Felicia, hang in there girl friend. Even now I have days that really get me down you know, playing the “If I had only…(fill in the blanks)” game but I’ve learned that can be a dangerous game to play.

Lynette, I’m always happy when a favorite marketing blogger misses posting for a week or so – because I always hope it means they’re swamped with work! I’m delighted (but not surprised) to hear this is the case with you.
I too am finding the same thing since the recession hit – my copywriting business took up like a rocket, and I haven’t been so busy for years
And now I’d better get back to that special report I’m writing for a client. 😉 On a deadline! (I love it!)
