I need to stop freaking out about Seraphim. It’s still such a young company so I should just let it run its course. I do have this gut feeling that things are going to turn out well for me and this little label. It’s just so frustrating to read all the compliments about the designs when people are STILL not…
I’m really tired. Tired of making amazing designs that no one seems to want to buy. I’m tired of promoting my products on facebook and twitter. I’m tired of the 800+ likes/reblogs on Seraphim posts that don’t lead to actual purchases. I’m tired of giving out discount codes to people and them not redeeming them. This is starting to feel…
I feel sad. I’m not sure why I feel sad. I have an amazing friend visiting at the moment but there’s something that feels wrong. I really hate this feeling. I am full of doubt and fear about my business, because I’m behind. But I’m also very very confused to hear from my business mentor all about how he’s so…
My head has been full of great ideas and even greater doubts during this time of preparation. Here is a list of things I’ve been doing: I finished my Cert IV in Small Business Management.

I mean, I actually feel like this business plan - and business, for that matter – has a real chance of working…
Do you ever feel like you’ve been so busy even though you really haven’t been doing much? I’ve been feeling that way since Sunday. I think it has something to do with the amount of thinking I’ve been doing. I have a preliminary market research assignment due on the first day of my business course. I’ve been slowly getting through…
I had an appointment with a company that provides training and mentorship for the NEIS program today. Great news – I’ve been accepted! I was given an application pack and booklet for a short business course I’ll be starting in April. It’s all coming together! I’m so excited that the ball is finally rolling. Now I have some serious things…
Being unemployed makes me question my self-worth. It’s even worse when the lack of work was actually my choice. I love being able to stay up late, but I hate waking up after 9am.
