Finally getting it?

I sold 5 items in the last couple of days. From zero to five. I woke up this morning and did a happy dance after I checked my email.  Then I bought something..


I'm getting them stamped with one of my favorite Pink Floyd lyrics:

For long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be

I've actually considered getting the whole song, "Breathe" tattooed on me somewhere, but can't figure out where I can easily view it and it won't take up bodily real estate reserved for Corporate America. And, I'm getting to old to get my arms all inked up. Sigh.

I've been living pretty frugally for the past couple of months, as I went from an underpaid, overworked job  to taking a couple of classes and actually working on this business people have been trying to talk me into doing for almost a year now. I have had some interviews lately, and am actually going to get back into the swing of things soon. But these last couple of months have been a welcome break. I've held at least one full time job at a time for the past 16 years. Not that I haven't been working hard on Etsy and school work, but I have a much easier time dealing with hard work when I don't have to wear pants (like wear out in public pants, I'm not naked, I just love pajama pants and holey sweat pants and jeans that have the ass falling out of them).  I'd really like to be able to take this on full time, but wish  I knew where to start. So far the only advice that I can give is list a lot. And then go back and list more. Do you have any advice on becoming a success?
