Seminar Decisions
Well, I got over my jitters on Thursday evening while explaining my options to a friend on the phone. I decided to accept that this seminar was not likely to happen. Several people had shown some interest but were away or had other commitments, so I want to check this week to see if they are able to come this Saturday. If not, I’m going to relax, and focus on bulding up my own web businesses. I’ve had them on a back burner all year, and have really neglected them for these old computers.
I spent Saturday alone here in my Azaleas office, working away at saving files off the last computer given to me, so I can get them back to their owner, before I make that computer ‘one of mine.’
I’m still at the office this week, and working on the computers, and hoping to get things all set up so I’m ready for students to tutor at any time, but next week I want to shift my focus to building up my own web businesses in the morning, dealing with my friends and public by email in the afternoons, and clients in the evenings. I’m hoping to raise enough of an income so that I will be able to do a true and healthy advertising campaign before I announce my next course start date.
Oddly enough, this decision has given me peace. It will depend of course, on whether the WTM Board will agree to let me keep this office at the lower rent. I could run my own businesses at home from one computer, but now I have this row of computers set up, it would seem a shame to dump them. And I still believe the basic premise of my idea for this mentoring course is good. But I have to admit I’ve been cramming a lot into my days for a long time.
Yesterday my friend Anna came to learn how to help me with the web site for Western Tract Mission. We already work together on the Reflections committee, and I have given her some basic lessons in the past. Just to know that she wants to come every Monday and learn to share the work load is a huge encouragement! We got three pages of the newest issue of Reflections put online. The print edition is still coming off the press downstairs this week.
