We are always amazed at how clear the ocean water can be in our little bay.
Went for a nice walk after meeting with my accountant today. Because I am changing my business model this year I wanted to make sure that being a S-Corp is still the best set up for me. It always feels like such a responsibility to be on the hook for payroll taxes every month as opposed to just setting aside 30% of my net earnings every month, which is what I used to do. But you save so much in taxes as an S-Corp and there is *no* evidence that I cannot ever meet my monthly payroll obligations. It’s so interesting to me that despite having had a very stable and growing income for the last four years I still feel so nervous about my money, worrying that my business could just go poof and disappear. Anyway, a walk in the fresh air always helps, and so does acknowledging the fear and then getting back to work. Next week I am going into my creative cave for three weeks to work on my much requested Squarespace 201 course! I am actually really looking forward to this, I love building out my courses in Squarespace 😍 I’ll soon announce the launch date for 201, if you are interested in this click on the link in my profile and go to Online Courses where you can sign up to be notified about 201 💛
My day just got sweeter! I’ve been looking forward to this book so much! My business has grown steadily over the last 4+ years and in 2018 I finally reached that point where I knew I had to make some changes if I wanted to stay sane and healthy. I had been managing both web design projects and my eCourses for more than two years and as both got busier it became harder and harder to sustain the high level of quality and attention I give to everything. When I realized that my eCourses had in fact out-earned my web design projects I knew I was ready to make the leap and focus 100% of my time on providing online education. Like Paul, I don’t want to grow into an agency or manage other people - been there, done that (in my corporate life) and never liked it. I only just started reading the book but I can already tell that it is so refreshing and perfect timing as I am preparing for this next chapter in my own Company of One 💛
One last walk along the sea before she heads on to her conference. Today we realized that we had great weather every time during her January visits for the last four years! Amazing ☀️
She makes all her own jewelry! I love this ring in particular, isn’t it fabulous?
Well, this is the ferry we were supposed to be on! I had planned a lovely day island-hopping on our way down to Seattle where we were picking up my husband who was flying in from the east coast. Due to a slight (ahem) miscalculation on my part we missed the ferry where I had a reservation and there was no space on the next ferry after waiting for 40 mins. That’s the ferry pictured here. So we had to take a completely different route and did not see any of the things I had wanted to show my friend. Thankfully she is also pretty chilled out and we nonetheless had a lovely day concluded with a nice dinner with my husband (whose flight landed an hour early!) in Seattle.
