Why Can't Money Grow on Trees?


Man, this week I have been really overwhelmed. Honestly, the fact of having to spend hundreds of dollars (that I don’t have) on a website is daunting. I am frustrated with myself for not having an idea that I love or a product I trust will sell. I am so scared to spend that kind of money and not make it back! Jake and I already live paycheck to paycheck, I don’t know how I am going to make this work. I would love to sell paintings and I know I could make a profit from it; this requires time though and that is another thing I do not have enough of. I am so stressed about the financial side of this project that I am about to lose my mind. I am having a difficult time focusing in school and at work because all I can think about it how I will make all our ends meet.

In the midst of this turmoil I am searching for any inkling of hope and faith I can muster. I know that God loves me, I know that He understands my circumstances. I believed that going back to school was the right thing to do and because of the cost and financial strain it has put on my husband and I, I am doubting it. I am trying to hold strong to faith that the Lord led me here and will guide me through. Anything is possible with Christ on my side.

Push My Buttons

To say I feel like a coding geek is an understatement; I feel so smart right now guys, it isn’t even funny. I made a button, yes, a BUTTON. And it works! Can you believe it?? Yeah me neither. Okay so I actually had a different website make a button for me to put on my own website. But same diff, right? Fine so I am not a coding genius. It’s fun to be creating a website in real time. I didn’t realize how simple everything can really be. There are websites to help you create anything website related. I anticipated having to create everything by scratch, which would then turn into a mediocre-at-best-website. It feels good to be proud of what is coming together. I am nervous that my product won’t sell, I really hope it does. The dream is to suddenly have my homework assignment turn into a full-time income that brings me out of the lower class, straight into the heights of wealth…. Yeah okay not gonna happen. But a girl can dream right?

Ready, Set, We're Live!

This week I am feeling good about my website. I am really excited about creating it but I get so caught up in the details I feel like it will take me forever to complete it! I hope my business idea is something that can be successful. Earlier this week I took a poll on Instagram to see if people would pay for my service and over 70% of people said they would. I changed my mind on what I am basing my website on, hopefully it will come together quickly. I want to create a hub for all things fitness and within it, offer a service of creating a healthy grocery list within the customers set budget. My website will give options to purchase different packages for different family sizes, e-books on fitness, links to recipes and articles. If I can make this turn out how I am envisioning it in my head, it will be a really great website that people will find useful! I am trying to stick to things I love so that my passion shines through my product.

Decisions, Decisions

This week assignments have left me overwhelmed. There are so many things I want to do with my life, so many talents I want to expound on, so many opportunities I want to explore; and yet, when I have to write them down I can't put them into words. There are a million things that are going through my head regarding what kind of business I want to build in this class and the limiting factors are making it difficult to decide. There are ideas I have that will take dedicated hours of manufacturing that I simply don't have. There are other ideas that seem to simple and easy that I want to disregard them completely; I want to feel proud of my product or service. There are some ideas that are a piece of me and that I know I would put my whole heart into, but do I have enough time to make it successful in the span of a few months? So many questions that are both intimidating and exciting!
