Business as Usual

We always put a quote on the back of our business cards. It is a positive quote so that whoever receives the card can contemplate or enjoy the words on the backside. Coming up with quotes is always difficult because nine out of ten of the cards have unique quotes. One of my current favorite quotes is from Helen Keller: "If you keep your face to the light, you cannot see the shadow."

Last night I wrote in my journal: I'm lost. I need a ray of light so I can see the brightness and ignore the shadow. 

I've spent quite a bit of this day reading articles about project management, leadership, how to improve your social presence, how to generate more Twitter followers and several other topics relating to positively increasing business output on social media. That, and welcoming more than thirty new followers to our Twitter followers.

I am pleased we have so many new Twitter followers. It will also be interesting to see how many of them remain our followers, or -more likely- wait a week and then unfollow our establishment. For those who read this that don't use Twitter, following someone and then unfollowing them to add to your total 'Followers' count is "a thing". Despite this, I am grateful Coyote's Blessings has over two hundred followers!

All this increased interest in our Twitter following, the Universe telling me to pay attention to management and organizing skills, and concern about where we're going come on the heels of Crow and I working on a new business strategy. We're going to revamp the business, which will include shutting down the site next week to work on breathing new life into it. As mentioned in previous posts, we're going to discontinue products that aren't working for us - and focus more on products and topics concerning K.E. Milrona's Andromeda Galaxy (like snats!).

That does not mean we're going to completely revamp our inventory, just bring more focus to it. Items that are currently available won't be available on-line after this point and will only be available if you come to one of our fairs.

Thanks for your continued reading. Please leave a comment or a question or anything if you have something to say!
