It's been a year and a half since I started working from home full-time, and I have enjoyed the process. However, due in part to recent family events (i.e., my father-in-law's stroke in December and his recent diagnosis of Stage II Multiple Myeloma), it has become very clear the importance of stability in our family. Though I do not intend to close up shop with Axel Designs, I have begun searching for a full-time job. Things will not be easy, my work schedule will be similar to what it was in previous years, only this time I will be helping Dad in the evenings. I will also have specific and dedicated hours for working on Axel Designs - scheduling and prioritizing is key, not just for business but for life as well.

I don't have any regrets about this decision, and I'm grateful that I was able to dedicate 18 months to building a solid client base. In so many ways Axel Designs is in a more stable position than it has ever been. I've learned a ton about what to do and what not to do in business, however there is so much more to learn. It has also given me a perspective on business that I never had before, and I'm sure this will only make me a better employee. So, that's what's going on with me...

Now what would my post be without a little something from Aliana, so without further ado... Aliana practicing her piano lessons today.

Thanks or stopping by and I hope you come back again soon.
