Business Sales Income and Expenses

I ended the month of January with negative balance because I didn't include my sales for the year 2009. But my sales for the months of January have increased compare to the biggest month sales I have last year.

I really hope that my sales will continue to grow each months so I can save money for my plan of sending flyers this Spring or Summer.

I don't know how much will it cost for the flyer or offline advertising, but I hope I can raise money for these through my webstore's sales. I don't want to use any of my family income for this business because, because I've spend enough to start this business. So whatever money this business can save, thats' the only amount I will use for whatever business expenses it needs.

But so far, I have completed all the basic tools and ingredients I need for my products from my last year's sales. I really hope that I can use the sales for this year both for the business and personal use.

I Can't Wait To Move For My Business

I am really excited to move to our new house. I can't wait to set up the basement for my business. I can't wait to start the Product Viewing Campaign. I can't wait to work on the things I will need in preparation for the Making Mineral Makeup Workshop.

I have a lot of ideas for my products and I have been wanting to make all of it every weekend. But it made me so lazy just thinking about how I will go down to the basement and when I forget something, so I have to go up again into my room to get the tools or ingredients that I forget. And sometimes, I have to use our stove or kitchen in making natural cosmetics.

Going up and down is really uninspiring!!! I thought of arranging and setting up my business in the basement but since we are moving, I only have few weeks to wait until I can put everything in one place.

The house that we purchased have separate kitchen in the basement. So I am pretty sure that I will be spending most of my time in the basement to work on my products. I will be able to offer new products and ideas to my customers. I can't wait!!

Busy Days For My Business

I am so busy, busy and busy with so many things. First, the time in finding a house just eaten up my weekend making me abandon some of my regular weekend work routine. Second, I have one big order that I process for two days that eaten up my time to work on my blogs and website. Third, we have a mandatory overtime at work so I have no choice but to only have one weekend to work on my online business, which is not enough since I have other things to do for my family.

My laundry is waiting for me downstairs and I still have no energy to go down to start working on it. I might do it in a while. I just need to blog about my thought to release some stress.

I quickly posted one product on my webstore, just to updated my customers about my new product. Because I really think it is important to let your customer know that your business is continously producing new ideas.

I will be busy for the next three weeks since we are scheduled to work for three consecutive Saturday to cope up with the orders. I will try my best to do the things I need to do for my business and at the same time, do my regular online routine while doing my regular household work.

This is how busy my life is. Am I happy doing this?.. You should see me while I am processing that one big order with a big smile on my face. I just can't wait to finished making everything so I can shipped all of them so the customer will received it and be happy with my products.

Responding To Incomplete Orders

The traffic statistics of my webstore is getting better each month. I have 3 incomplete order today so I have to contact them to know what made them not to complete the order. I want to know if or what problem did they encounter so make them dicide not to complete this order.

It is good to try knowing what your customer have in mind. Some may respond and some may not. Some may even come back to complete the order.

Even if they did not come back to complete the order, it will be good to hear the problem that they encounter so you will know how to improve your service and products.

And even if they didn't respond at all, it will still be good to contact them and let them know that everything is being monitored on your business and you are always there to serve them in any way you can.

My Business At Home

I am having a mixture feeling about buying and moving to a new house. I really hope that we wont loose anything this time.

Right now, I want to move so I can start my business rolling to this place. I am thinking of placing my showroom to the basement. There is a second kitchen at the basement, so that is where I am going to have my crafting hobby for Natural Cosmetic and Mineral Makeup.

I am planning to put all my hobby in the basement. Since I love singing, there I will place my Videoke. I love watching movies so my VHS and DVD player will also be there. I love dancing, aerobics weight training so it will also be there including the exercise videos. And of course my computer!!!

But most of all, I would like to see myself working on a separate sink for making Natural Cosmetics. I would like to show to my cutomers how I take care and store my products properly. I can't wait!!

Hoping For The Bright Light

Gosh, I still don't have any order for this year. But I am glad there are few offers for my blogs. At least I have extra income to save for my plans. I need to save money for my plan of sending flyers. Everytime I am not receiving any order, I feel somewhat discourage. But I want to set aside that feelings because I want to focus my mind in finding a house.

This is going to be a challenge for me and my husband because we are not sure if we can ever sell our townhouse. The equity goes down because of the greedy people from the administrator of the complex. I guess, we are one of the thousand homeowners who were very UNLUCKY to be on this situation. But right now, we have to move on and start another life with another house to take care of. We lost a lot, and it's really painful to think about it. But what can we do but pray hard that this time, will be a different story.

I really hope that there will be a bright side after this storm in our life; that there is a good fortune in return. And I really hope that my business is the answer.
