A week past. Updates.

When I started the school time seemed to creep so slowly. There seemed to be endless problems to solve, and too much stress caused by the unknown. Now I am sort of used to going to my own office, basically anytime I wish, and doing my own things. I stopped worrying about not having any new students, or not getting any phone calls. It doesn't mean I am settling down or giving up or getting clinically depressed. It is a learning curve. I realize students will not come unless I proactively go out and aggressively advertise myself. And even if and when I do so, there are still very slim chances of me getting any real customers. Instead I am focused on building a strong foundation for the business, and I read, read, read, and read everything and anything about management and marketing. I learn to use graphic design programs, create and write brochures, and flyers. I am grateful I have this time and this will to learn the skills I need for the business. So I have been basically working 12-13 hours a day, and not making any money. This is a very alien concept and a way for me to be. To work and not get money. I am much happier than before though. I get this shot for the future,and it is terrific. I know students will come when we are ready.
