what did you do today

What did you get done today?

I am not talking about reading the forum or comparing the price of pumpkin pie fo at 32 supply houses. Think about it, if your spent 2 hours finding the best price, you saved $6.00 but wasted 2 hours & I know your time is worth more than that.

What did you physically get done today to propel your business forward?

Yesterday I approached an Organic Market for wholesale sales and got a commitment to buy. I went and took a closer look at the B&M store I'm thinking about. Today I have some follow-up phone calls to get done and lotions to make. Tomorrow I have dog grooming product to get made.

Lindy, You have always been a go getter.

I requested info from a couple of colleges this morning about marketing classes/degrees.

Right now I'm eating lunch. Getting my fix of SMF and emailing a PDF of my wrappers to a new local printer who swears he can save me cash and make my labels local. We'll see.

This morning I cut 24 lbs of soap I made yesterday.
Soaped 5 batches, Gardening soap with tomato powder and cornmeal, Fisherman soap with anise oil, Mechanic soap with pumice and orange oil, Clary Sage Goat milk with ground luffah and Lemon Cinnamon.

Grocery shopped, while chatting on the phone with a friend.

This afternoon I'll make a lasagna to bring to another friend who's having surgery. Pack for the Farmers Market tomorrow. Restock sugar scrubs, thankfully I made a 50# bucket of scrub last time and all I have to do is add sugar and scent. The labels are printed, cut and ready to go. If that doesn't kill me I'll clean the soap kitchen and scrub the floor.

`Tonight I'll bring the socks I'm knitting along with me to my realtor's house where my husband is installing adsssssssssssssssxa new oil burner and water heater.

Edited - I was going to fix that typo, but instead I'll leave it. That was my cat walking across the keyboard of my laptop. She's glad I'm sitting with her for a minute.

Thanks Tabitha! Marketing is so much fun and there are so many ways to do it that don't cost a fortune. I really hope you find one you enjoy!

I went to the office (day job) and have been packing since I got home. Moving day in a week.

Moving is easier if you take Chardonnay breaks.

Hmmm, well perhaps that's what I've been doing wrong. I've been taking KJ Meritage breaks.

Deda, I think I love you!

I stole the ingredient list of off biotTone's massage therapy lotions so I can use similar ingredients and offer them competition because I am a massage therapist and I think lotions should be made by therapists for therapists


So I have this whole warplan scoped out now to take down biotone muahahhahaha

Go with the Chardonnay, or at least a nice Pino Grigio. That way if you spill (heaven forbid) it's easier to clean up.

I see Biotone finally stopped using parabens. Only a few years too late to retain my biz. That new cocoa butter one looks interesting though. Have you tried it Ian?
