Confusing busy-ness with business - a challenge!

[Former_Member]

Hi all!

I just put up a post today on a topic I have been thinking about lately and that I am challenging myself on....

Thinking about the ways I spend my time when working on my Etsy shop: Am I increasing my busy-ness or my business?

Check out my blog for a break down on focusing on what your shop is really all about, and a challenge on breaking bad habits. Join me in the challenge, if you want! :D

Commented on your blog, love this post! So relevant to me right now, it's like you're reading my mind :) I'm new to Etsy and to blogging...so, question for you...is it "spamming" to drop your blog or FB links in promotion threads created for that purpose? And do you think it's wasteful?

Really great points and reminders! The one thing I have to give some leeway to myself though is what I spend my time during "work" or the "day-job." Hard to actually spend time honing my craft there so I spend more time reading blogs, doing research, etc. (only on lunch breaks, I swear! :-)

Hey BabyBirdBuilt - yes, I forgot to post it in the opening post, so it was in a comment farther down the page. Sorry about that! Here it is: http://blog.flourishanddebonair.com/2011/05/are-you-increasing-your-busy-ness-or.html
