All websites have them, or should have… the *About Me* page…
They serve several purposes:
1) They reassure potential customers who are leery about doing business online
2) They provide a nice opportunity to add Search Engine friendly content

I grabbed a copy of the new magazine from McCall’s called:
*Quilter’s Home- For the new generation of quilters*
I found it a very interesting read and I am looking forward to seeing how it evolves. Right now I think that they have a good concept (if you believe their sub-title) but the execution and application of that strategy is lacking.

My issue of
arrived yesterday. I had a busy day and I am still working my way through it but I wanted to make two important points here…
ONE:
I firmly believe that American Quilt Retailer is a *MUST HAVE* subcription for ALL Independent Needlework Retailers and Quilt Retailers. An annual subscription is only $40. If you can’t afford it, I would doubt that you can afford to be in business anyway (sorry to be blunt, but we are facing challenging times here and need to take off the gloves!)

I just saw this quote on a business forum I belong to…
“Wherever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision.”
– Peter F. Drucker
Certainly these are words to think about, especially for those of us running our own businesses. Sometimes it can be hard to see the forest for the trees.
It is easy to get bogged down in the day to day details, and myriad of minor decisions which must be made, and lose sight of the dreams we had that were what got us to the place where we are now!
So take a deep breath and remind youself that the small nitpicking details will probably not destroy you business, but losing sight of the dreams that formed it certainly will!
Keep your eye on the big picture and try to keep the JOY!
