Running your own business means that you're always behind. There is always more that you want to accomplish, things that you wish that you could improve, and piles of work to be done that you can't quite reach yet.
It's not that I don't like running Steam Crow (because I really, really do) but it's sometimes frustrating knowing that about 1/10th of my ambitions are able to be served. I guess that this is just how it is, and a good biz person will learn to carefully choose what he or she decides to accomplish.
I'm trying to do a better job of that "choosing" so that I can better server you monstery goodness.
Eventually, I'd like to afford the time to take a 1 week retreat, where we rest up and think about Steam Crow without having 10,000 daily distractions vying for our attentions. It would be so cool to brainstorm what we could accomplish, and try to figure out how to get there.
Right now, we do all of this... on the run.
Maybe I should simply get better at that.
Now, the good news is that I'm not in all of this by myself. I have Dawna to help keep me sane and help keep things running. Without her, I'd be an inspired hobo.
Dirk and Jenni, my bro-in-law and sis-in-law-to-be have been helping a lot too, which has been really awesome. They've helped us make countless buttons, number books, and help me organize tour inventory via magical spreadsheets of power. This is good, because I don't really know how to do this kind of stuff.
They have my humble thanks.
Anyway, that's what's on my mind today. Tomorrow: moon pies?
