Statistics and Give-aways?

I am not a normal networker, as I figure that if you like my stuff all is right with the world. For me people are beings, not numbers to up my views, put cash in my pocket or a possible sell. That just bugs me, it bugs me a lot because many times I have had people Pitch me and walk away without taking into consideration that I am a person too.

Why does our modern world put people into categories? Why are we so concerned about the statistics that will "quote" make or break your business? I took statistics people. I took that horrible class in school and trust me it was not fun. But I passed with a B+, which blew me away because a math person I am not. What I did learn is this. It is a way to lump people into categories in order to understand what people are doing. That's all. It is a way to manage people, their behaviors and then be able to predict what they will do next.



I have always fallen out of the Mid-line. I am some where on either end of the curve if you will and I rather enjoy being out there. You could say I am a rebel at heart, talk to my parents I am sure they will agree. But there really isn't anything bad about being the rebel. But there is such a a thing called balance.

So how do I as a small, and I mean very small business owner create abundance and flow?

Easy. I love what I do and when I see something online that I love, I support it. Simple. I do not have to stress over how many views I have on my blog. Or how many people commented, or what FB or Twitter statistics are telling me. Why? Its so not fun. It reminds of that statistics class I took and really people I have no desire to remember that.

So when your fretting about people buying your stuff, remember why you are doing this in the first place! Is this your true love? Are you having fun and appreciating all the people who are perusing your blog or web site? Are you willing to fall in love all over again with people vs. the numbers one click on their keyboard? If so then you my friend are in the right place and loving life.

Life on this planet is precious and short. I would much rather enjoy spending time with the people I love and chatting up total strangers because I like their dog or it felt right to smile and say hi. We do not know the impact we have on others peoples lives and worrying about the numbers will blind you to the small    intricate and startling details that this planet has to offer.

So get off your computer and enjoy the weather, hug your kids, kiss your partner or spouse. Dance in the rain and yell at the top of your lungs to your neighbors how much you like them. Think I am crazy, well your right. I am crazy about this life and living. I am madly in love with me and my blessed life. I adore sewing and creating on my terms and statistics and numbers, well they have a place but they most certainly are not in the front seat of my life.

So on that note, a great gal who has some amazing things on her blog is doing a great give away! So because its fun and I really dig her style here is the link. Go check her out if you dare, you just might fall in love all over again!
