Rachel,
Thanks for sharing.  I am working on getting off a lot of list because all they send is free gifts with nothing but but opt in to get on  more list to get more of the same thing. I wish them luck but they will have to make some
changes. Because I am on Social Security I haven’t bought much. attery got low so I pluged it it in and watched the finish of the movie. Now I am going to get on the desktop and start deleting emails and getting off list.

Enjoy your weekend,

James

Rachel,
Thanks for the fun, “Sharing.” 
After reading Rosella’s comments above, I wondered if it might not help, (if she is not already doing this, however from her comments it does not sound as though she is) for her to make, drawing gifts, of such things as, “How To’s,” or, “Articles” about a particular form of pottery art, something that she does not feel a particular, “Loss,” in giving away free? In this way, she will still have her artwork to place before the marketplace for sale, while still having an attraction to draw interest.  Just a thought!
Blessings,

Great stuff Rachel. Every business person should read this. Very true and honest advice.
As with others here, much respect for you also.

You said it so well and so honestly Rachel. It’s all very true and great that you put this out. Every business person should read this. Great stuff!!

Hahaha… I won’t say which WSO.

I LOVE the cause, and I love that so many people participated… just… yuch on all the emails.

Loving your separate browser and turning off all the distractions!

I have someone working on a cool gmail plugin now which will even block email from coming in, even if I *want* it.

SUPER excited about it!!!

Happy New Year!!!! =)

=) I LOVE those ideas Dee!!

And holy moley, 10 MB emails!!! That should qualify for some kind of record.

Definitely agree on taking breaks. Maybe it’ll help to make small goals while you’re online, then breaks in between reaching those small goals, so you’ll feel like you accomplished something and are therefore “rewarded” to take a break?

Happy New Year!

Thank you so much for your trust. That means a tremendous amount to me, and I know to Dennis too.

I’m glad you needed this post, and I hope it really helps you as you plan out your 2012.

Hey Carlin! Thank you, and back at you! I hope this turns out to be the year that your wildest dreams come true!

Hehhehe re: the questions asked a hundred times

I LOVE that you get so rejuvenated so quickly!!! I think I will do that too now. Whenever I need a break, I’ll just walk outside the cafe, get some fresh air (ignoring the cars nearby, hehe)… and come back feeling great.

I’m reading Steve Jobs’ biography and they said every time he ever made a decision, he went for a long walk to think about it. Makes so much sense!

And seeing your eyelash studio, and knowing your design skills, I bet your office is DIVINE!

Happy New Year Joe! I wish you all the best.
