Lesssons Learned From My November Newsletter

How Exciting!! Today I just published my company's first email newsletter!! I worked really hard to teach myself a new software program and I am really proud of myself!!! For those of you who know me, you would know that I know just enough about computers to be dangerous and that I get really frustrated when they do not do what I want them to do!! So, that is why I am so proud of myself for this accomplishment!
Not only did I set a goal and reach it, but I kept my cool and persevered through issues and technical difficulties until I reached that goal. What I learned from this experience is that by breaking this overall goal up into smaller chunks and doing it a little bit at a time, it was so much less stressful than trying to do it all at once. (I think I've heard this somewhere before? Oh yeah, that would have been from me telling the same think to my clients. Maybe I should take my own advice more often!!) I also learned that this is a great way for me to combat my own battle with perfectionism. Just as I strated to get frustrated with something, I took a break! And I could because I had given myself enough time to work on it!!
Here's to listening to me! I have to say "Good Job" to myself! Because when you are the owner of the business and the only employee, no one else is going to say it to you!!!
