start a home-based business

Since I had the baby, I have become much more conscious of the chemicals and toxins that we are surrounded with on a daily basis. Perhaps the most egregious is in our beauty products, the stuff we turn to to clear up skin problems, look better, and ultimately help us feel better. There shouldn’t be any toxins there! However, Mother Nature has provided us with an abundance of wonderful ingredients and solutions that we can use instead of chemicals. And they are inexpensive!

In my free time (I guess another goal should be to “get more free time”) I would like to create some bath products and sell them. That is my goal. It will never replace my current job, but it will be fun and productive.

I have been running my own web development business www.polinet.com.au from home for the past 4 years and if you have guts and patience enough to work through the tough and unprofitable first couple of years then you will be rewarded with an absolutely amazing lifestyle. I get to travel and move countries and have the freedom to run my business from anywhere. I get to work when I want. I also get to learn HEAPS about myself and about productivity and many essential business principles and life skills. I absolutely love it and would not have it any other way.

... although my head has ups and downs about it. Basically, I lack confidence and there are days (many, actually) when I think “I can’t do this; it’s too hard, I’m not smart enough, I don’t have enough time, money”, etc. etc. But part of the challenge here is for me to believe in myself, be confident and have faith. I’m going to set a deadline: by next Sunday night (August 12th) I’m going to have made a decision about what kind of business to start and I’m going to move forward on it within a couple of days of that. At least get things started with making a website, choosing a web host, etc. Small but consistent steps will get me where I want to be.

I’m not! See, it’s still on my list, so there!
I’m just putting it off for a couple of years. I need money. I need a job. A real one.
Sigh.
I’m looking for one right now. Not that my chances are so great, but.
Sigh.

I need income, soon. I’ve got six skirts. This is not going fast enough.
I want to do two things:
1. Get a part-time job, in something related. Maybe selling in a fabric store. I’d love to do that for a while.
2. Change direction a bit, start working on things I can make fast and quickly. Get to the point where I sell anything at all. Then later I can add the clothes.
I’ve been thinking: eco-chique shopping bags, with nice drawings on them; other types of simple bags, all with something to make them special and nice so people will want them; small hand bags for little girls, such that little girls would like; customised T-shirts, for which I will buy T-shirts and make some cute prints, applications, embroidery.
I should start thinking how to change my working priorities accordingly.

four skirts. No license. I guess I’m not up to my schedule.

Tips for modeling:
1. There are some items that you are sure to want, and to want very soon in the process, so don’t start without them. They are: mechanical pencil, eraser, big ruler and small ruler, Aristo triangle, red pen, scisors. Think ahead before you start because you probably also need either the compass, the measuring tape with the hole at one edge and/or the contour master. Have them all at your hand beofre starting, or you’ll be distracted by going to get them again and again.
2. Think about seam allowences before you start copying.
3. Name every line, every place marking and every piece, e.g. “Crown”, main part, size 8, non-elastic fabric, with zipper.

Tips for sewing:
Consider basting. Basting is good for you.

General tips:
Don’t make so many tests. One is enough, then select fabric and start. Even if I do throw away a couple of skirts at first, it’s a waste of time otherwise.

finished the first item I intend to sell! Ha! Still not perfect, I know that; took far too long to complete, but I know exactly why, and how it’s going to take less next time. And it’s beautiful! Yes!
I need to:
1. Make another skirt, same size, longer lining. And try another, same size, with the other color fabric for lining, and the other way around.
2. Finish cutting out patterns for other sizes.
3. Finish my homework for Thursday.
4. Get my business registered, so if someone happens to walk in, see the skirt, and say: hey, nice skirt, I’ve jsut been looking for a present for my nice, a size 8, do you sell? I will be able to get money legally.

I was on an anxiety attack, but I managed. Will go and sew it now. If you’ll excuse me.
