So many people don’t understand what this means. How do we know when we are following our hearts? How do we know what part of ourselves to listen to when we have conflicting emotions? How do we know what direction to take our business in when there is a fork in the road? [...][…] Sometimes I get asked about “following the heart”. So many people don’t understand what this means.

I found it quite challenging to create a way to combine this material into one topic, and hopefully - one site. The demands of maintaining two sites is already getting to be far more than I had anticipated - and to really grow this, I need to focus, focus, focus (I think I need to tattoo that on the back of my hands for continual awareness!!).

It's not every day you get to watch the day to day progress of one start up, not to mention two. I am learning a great deal and you are helping a lot of people. What you have created in this short amount of time is remarkable. But what I know is that you are gifted and talented and whatever you do, however you do it, the result will be amazing. Live Your Dreams, Jill http://www.GoalGuru.comHi Wendy,

I have been thoroughly enjoying watching you grow both sites. It’s not every day you get to watch the day to day progress of one start up, not to mention two.

I am learning a great deal and you are helping a lot of people. What you have created in this short amount of time is remarkable.

But what I know is that you are gifted and talented and whatever you do, however you do it, the result will be amazing.

Live Your Dreams,

I work from home and have several service/business lines myself - I'm a professional organizer, a writer, an education & training consultant, and I design websites for small businesses and help them with their internet marketing. When you have much to share and many interests as you obviously do, it's not easy to draw boundaries and yet we are continuously told that to market ourselves well we have to have a niche audience. I struggle with this myself, because I want to help as many people as I can. But to answer your question, I wasnt to hear about all of those things! Marketing, work, kids, and staying motivated! Even though I don't have kids myself, I love kids. Most of my friends and clients have kids, and I have a special interest in helping Moms by helping them get organized and stress less so they have more time to have fun with their kids. So I do like to stay in tune with the issues moms working at home face. I also work from home now for the web and writing parts of my business. Before becoming a professional organizer, I worked from home for 15 years and I know how brutal it can get if you don't get out of the house. I love now getting the chance to get out several days a week. Anyway, bottom line - my vote is - Write about it all! The wholistic experience of being a mom and working from home and how you developed your skills and overcame personal obstacles to do it is inspirational and worth writing about!Thanks so much for sharing your personal dilemma with the direction of your business.
