Finding Time

One of the most frustrating issues we seem to be dealing with at the moment is actually finding time to work. It is not so much that we don't have the time, it is our lack of ability to sucessfully manage our time as a group. Life just gets in the way.

We all have full-time jobs. Gracefully Inspired is a side job that we hope to see grow in the coming years. So, because we don't depend on the profit from Gracefully Inspired to pay our bills and buy our groceries, it is easy to put it at the end of the list of priorities. Obviously a business cannot be successful if time is not invested. Time at the moment is probably our biggest enemy.

Thankfully, I think we are all pretty determined to see this work, so our time management is simply a road block that we will need to learn to get past. For me personally, good time management has never been one of my strong characteristics. I realize that I need to set some strict timelines for my personal schedule in order to make time for my Gracefully Inspired work, which includes art/photography, jewelry making and dealing with the website. Of course realizing and doing are totally different things, and that is what my downfall will be if I don't find the discipline I need.
