I’ve learned setting small goals and rewards for myself helps keep the to-do list moving.
Thursday night, I decided if I could accomplish my to-do list by Friday at 4pm that I’d head downtown and finish up work there. And I did — yay! :]
My destination? Starbucks.
It’s fabulous to get out and work somewhere else {even though working from home is the best ever!}.
Instead of meeting me & walking home together, Zack had me come to his work when I was done and he surprised me with a fun date! We walked over to Pizza Luce, one of the best pizza houses in Minneapolis, and enjoyed some deliciousness. Y U M!
Pizza is so good, I could eat it for breakfast! Hah!
Last week I decided to get over my hesitation to wear Gussy products. I mean, hello, I am Gussy.
So it’s OK, right? I think I’ve felt like it’s too much self-promotion. But I decided that that’s silly.

PS. Over the weekend I did some major budget work for Gussy. It was so tedious but now I feel so much more prepared and sure of things. I was putting this off because I was scared of the potential outcome, but the actual outcome {and numbers leading up to the outcome} is so encouraging! It makes me want to work harder to see what types of goals I can achieve with this information :]
PSS. Fingers crossed that my new blog header goes up today!
You guys are too cute! I need to sit down and do the tedious work too. Like you, I’ve been avoiding it but it needs to happen!
You are adorable! Love your headbands. So stylish! Date nights are the best, aren’t they?! Glad to hear you are navigating your own business so well. We are all so proud of you Gussy! Or as you would say, “yeow!”
You’re an inspiration. I always learn something good from you!
Can’t beat a surprise night out! You look great in your headband.
Hey I just found your blog the other day…it’s awesome! I have an etsy shop and sometimes I just feel overwhelmed at the whole business side of it. I hate doing budget stuff, so I would love to know what kind of budget plan you use for your biz? Is there any particular method that works the best for you? Thx!
you and z are so cute! yay for date nights. also, yay for budgeting! doesn’t it feel great to have everything in order and know what to strive for? good for you. xo
Congrats on your numbers! What a relief and as always, such a fabulous shop!!!
Hurrah for pizza!!!
I’m so glad you determined it was okay to wear your own products because I’ve taken a bazillion and one photos of myself in my crocheted headbands. I would have felt silly had you decided it was too much self-promotion. Besides, you look absolutely adorable in your own ruffles. =)
um – people must think I’m really obnoxious then, because I RARELY leave the house without wearing something of mine. Feel naked without a rosette somewhere. Annoying, I know – but people may as well know why in the world I’m a crazy woman half of the time!
PLEASE post soon about your budgeting methods… would love to hear your tips!
and p.s. LOVIN the new header. it’s sooo Gussy! (funny – since I’ve never actually met you…) ;)
Guss its so funny you said that – i was totally dreading it b/c i was afraid of the outcome but it was great once i did it – it gives you a very clear picture :) Date night looks fab! You two are too cute! XO
You MUST wear your stuff…it’s a part of who you are!! I’m so glad to see that you are pushing yourself to get out of the house and to enjoy time with your hubby. My husband and I have been self-employed for almost 10 years and we’re terrible about walking away from the work to take time together. There’s always something that can be done and so far you have been very balanced with your new career and I applaud you.
Keep up the good work!!
yes yes yes for budgets! our budget saves our tooshes monthly….and my budget for my shop is a bit more lenient but it totally helps keep everything in order!
