It is my dream to make a living owning my own business, so my question is this...<br /><br />How do you find the time to balance all that comes with trying to jump start your own business while working a full time day job, taking care of the kids, dogs, keeping up with twitter, facebook, blogging, making products, updating website,advertising, marketing, networking, etc.? It seems like the only way to make your business successful is by having lots of time to dedicate to it, so what are the secrets of those who have been able to make the transition from having a full time day job to now running your successful business and actually being able to support yourself and your family?PENDORAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00634272705589274234noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531073371955920556.post-12165570802345559032010-01-16T12:23:00.002-05:002010-01-16T12:26:13.855-05:00Valentine PendantsWe have added some adorable Valentine Scrabble Tile Pendants to the site<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xwZfKdpr05w/S1H2XYSp_QI/AAAAAAAAAFc/9vtSuD3HdI8/s1600-h/VALENTINE3333.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 281px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xwZfKdpr05w/S1H2XYSp_QI/AAAAAAAAAFc/9vtSuD3HdI8/s320/VALENTINE3333.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427389907476282626" border="0" /></a><br /><br />We have lots of new goodies coming this weekend so be sure to stop by the site!<br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/203/C2D8DA2D696D39423E1BDFA55DBF9A86.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>PENDORAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00634272705589274234noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531073371955920556.post-8973603437381995542010-01-10T19:12:00.007-05:002010-01-10T19:22:52.549-05:00Custom Scrabble TilesHi Everyone!
