It’s April 1 and I can either start this 2nd quarter of 2019 with a joke or prank or I can charge forward and implement the plans I had back on January 1. Since the last Ultimate Blog Challenge in January, I honestly did not blog as I had hoped to. Instead, I worked harder than I have had in a long time. I mean…that’s what I had set out to do. I have built my business back up, but not with much effort really. I continue to receive referrals and have gained additional client work along the way since January. So here I am again…really wanting to get back to what I enjoy doing for myself and my clients, and that’s marketing my expertise. 

For those of you new to my website and blog, I assist clients in building their web presence and marketing it online. I’ve been in business for myself for nearly 15 years now and have gained tons of knowledge along the way as to what works and what doesn’t in building a viable online business. It’s NOT an overnight process…I will tell you that! I can’t tell you how many countless hours and days I have poured into building my online presence, but it has been all worth it. I have watched both my kids grow up and they have watched me put my all into something that has been very important to me since day one. They have always had me around to help them in every facet of their adolescent years and it shows. Both are successful in everything they set out to do. And that makes me proud. If it’s just a moment that I doubt myself in what I’m doing, then that’s just a drop in the bucket compared to where I am now, 15 years later. 

If you’re a budding small business owner or you’re a seasoned professional, I encourage you to take a step today and do what I am doing. Make it a small part of your day to write articles or blog and share what you do or know best. That’s what I am doing this month. It’s a fresh new day, a fresh new month, and a fresh new start! Yes, it’s time for a redo! 

I look forward to seeing new faces and old acquaintances from the Ultimate Blog Challenge Facebook group. Can’t wait to share and read other blog posts this month! I hope to see you there!
