The Value of Systematic Evaluations
Evaluation of the third week of my 12-week year
What did I accomplish in my business this week?
I have been documenting my book inventory. Next week I will be recording and updating book purchase and sales documentation. I also have agreed to create the attendance sheet for the Farmers Market and will be the market manager until the second week in May. I didn’t look forward to this, but I agreed to it because no one else was available to do it. I am a person who lives up to her obligations so I will do what I say.
During the first two weeks, I made some major progress, but this week things seem to have leveled off and I’m okay with that. Things are becoming routine, which is what I wanted when I started this 12-week year. I am aiming to create a routine to keep up with important aspects of my business and my life. I finished that and moved on to another county’s retailers. Finding stores to purchase my books is becoming harder every day. On Thursday I worked over 1.5 hours and only sent 4 emails. I am getting more emails sent back to me with either rejections or places telling me that they placed orders for my books online. That is a positive because even the rejections mean that someone is reading my emails. I am selling books all around my region. That is also a positive sign.
