LAUNCHING. MY. OWN. BUSINESS.</p>
<p>There.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve said it out loud.<img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-2579" title="Launching My Own Business" src="http://www.hipasiwannabe.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/joy_woman_laptop-150x150.jpg" alt="Launching My Own Business" width="150" height="150" /></p>
<p>What in the world am I thinking?</p>
<p>Remember my <a href="http://www.hipasiwannabe.com/2010/02/life/my-10-goals-for-2010/" target="_blank">goals for 2010?</a> I believe this one falls under the &#8220;hop off a cliff&#8221; and &#8220;take leave of my senses&#8221; category.  Wouldn&#8217;t you agree?  In any event, I am learning a lot.  A WHOLE LOT.</p>
<p>Like the fact that it is way easier to advise clients regarding their own logos, websites, written copy, marketing and social media than to DO IT FOR MYSELF.  You guys, <strong>I am a maniac</strong>.  I have thought and rethought and reworked and rewritten more in the last three weeks than IN MY LIFE.  I know you think that I am exaggerating.  But ask anyone close to me and they will tell you the truth.</p>
<p>Now, compounding this issue is the fact that I am still full time at my old job.  Remember that one?  The one I <a href="http://www.hipasiwannabe.com/2009/02/life/balancing-career-and-home-life-hard-choices/" target="_blank">wrote about here?</a> That job will finish up at the end of this month.  Theoretically, I will then be able to BREATHE.  Then again, maybe not.  Until that time I find myself mired in websites, marketing and all of that rigmarole.</p>
<p>So stay with me on this new business journey.  I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll be hearing more about it.  That is, unless I never actually get the darn copy done.</p>
