- What was the biggest challenge in starting the business?
- Do you find it difficult to work at home?
- What do you do when you're stuck in a creative rut?
- What's in your 8-track player? (I don't have an IPOD, so I feel like my simple CD player is a dinosaur)
- How do I build a creative support group?
If you want the answers to these, or other mind-blowing questions, feel free to post. Otherwise, I'll have one of my other personalities post a question... and then it will just be sad.

Thanks so much, Jill! I think you are doing amazingly well with your new venture, considering that it hasn't been very long at all (less than a year, right?) I think it takes time to get everything balanced... having enough work, planning ahead, being clear on your role now (when you're doing everything) and what you want it to be, when to turn done work, etc. The fact that you are aware of the need to be balanced is a great start! (knowing is half the battle!) By the way, being successful on paper is success nonetheless!
Thanks for the new questions - I'm going to make them my topics this week!
hi susan ... question for you. i own a small business and just did some business with a shop that paid me in cash and with a check made out to me (not the business). how wrong would it be for me to just deposit that money in to my personal account and not claim it as revenue (and therefore not have to pay taxes on it)? do you ever feel like you just a small fry in the business world and that you don't have to follow all of the same rules?
Good question, Jennifer! Since the IRS always read my blog, I'm going to say: count it as revenue. It's easy to feel like you could fall through the cracks as a small business, but try to remain on the up-and-up anyway! Small amounts of cash aren't a big deal, but if that's the majority of your business, it all adds up. Plus, if you ever go for a loan, you'll want your records to accurately reflect what you're making. Hope that helped!
