So where have I been?

The Springboard workshops were fabulous and informative... but a bit overwhelming. I think it would have been better for me to have had one of them a month with time to do the "homework" in between (because a week is no where near enough time). I admit I am kind of jumping around from topic to topic as questions come up in my mind rather than working the process straight through. Several of my marketing goals I took care of right away, but there are a couple (email newsletter to my mailing list for example) that I have been dragging my feet about.

As for the business plan, all the information is there. It just needs to be in the format that people expect. I have almost two full years of records including income, show fees, taxes, supplies, studio fees, things like business cards and signs, classes and professional memberships, and I have a much better working knowledge of the art fair circuit and its income potential. But it's slow going as I work through all the worksheets, tables, etc. It helps that I am learning a lot and what I am learning is already helping me improve by business acumen!
