I want to build a successful business. It’s one of those things that I really want but am not working toward effectively. Two or three years ago, I felt as though I was making progress. In the last year or so, I’ve felt stagnant. The progress I was making was slow going but it was going. Lately, not so much.
Life just seems to be happening around it. Maybe because I don’t need SANA Stationery & Gifts to meet my needs the urgency is not there. Maybe it’s that it was never meant to be a business but a hobby. The thought of shutting down the business and continuing with the work with a hobbyist’s intentions has crossed my mind. Still, I’m having a hard time giving up on making it work.
I think the best next step would be to take a step back and chart a course forward. I find the planning incredibly boring so avoid it. ChatGPT should make it a bit more manageable. Without a plan, I’m likely to continue wandering – which isn’t necessarily a bad thing – in hopes of finding a direction. I want the groundwork to be laid for me to carve my own path.
Again, the notion of slow living beckons me. It says, “You can have it all if you just slow down.” Maybe that’s exactly what my business needs to be successful, for me to dial a back a bit.
