Coming back from vacation last week
to work was actually quite easy, since the trainee that had been riding with me
previously had been sent off to work with another manager. Finally I was by
myself again, without somebody constantly looking over my shoulder and questioning
what I was doing. While I like having fellow employees ride with me from time
to time, it does cramp your style, especially when said person acts like they
know how things should be done, but really doesn’t understand the company’s
inner workings. It is also once again a reminder for me to stay quiet more
often, rather than immediately sharing my opinion how things can be done better
without first comprehending the complete picture. It is even more important to
be quiet when nobody has asked for your opinion!
On the other hand, I realize that I
need to be more open to advice and other people’s insights, especially when it
comes to starting my own business. Yes, at the end of the day it will be me
whose responsible for the direction of my business, but it never hurts to have
open ears and absorb what others are sharing with me.
The $100 challenge has been met! I
sold two more cartridges this week and they are about to be shipped off. They
sold within just a few hours, which probably means I could have charged more
money, but probably would have also taken much longer to sell. Two more cartridges
are listed on eBay, patiently waiting for a buyer. If they don’t sell by next
week Saturday, I will either lower the price or just list them auction style at
99c and see what they sell for.
