I hate my bank account right now. BUT – and there is a big but – I have been productive – sending off two article submissions – one about the power of crystals in a wellness scape, another offering services and introducing my company as a possible avenue for an article about it. As well as emailed a brilliant shop in Caerleon about possibly stocking my amulets.
I have also created a master ticklist – marketing needed and expansion – about possibly doing events to affordable pieces to drawing ideas…
You have to spend money to make money amirite!
The tiredness has been a lot, my partner is getting us a Chinese takeaway tonight and I am looking forward to it.
What I’ve spent on:
MacBook Pro m4 Max 32gb ram 1tb (my beast, added it to my home insurance, I got it cheaper as AppleCare has run out) – paid off £600 out of £2200 purchase
Msi 13 (for handbag) – got this cheaper than it’s worth and I don’t want my MacBook banging about when I travel!
LOADS OF STOCK (the most spent but it means there’s options for making) – probably spent about £2.5k but 1k of that was moldavite. Leaves about £1.6k on my klarna from what I’ve paid off. I aim to pay this off quickly.
Milliput (pivitol to making things)
Olympus pen series 9 camera and two lenses – I got this cheaper than the first edition. I am thinking of trying to picture the pendants properly plus as summer is coming in, I want to do some exploring again.
A few cheap vinted alternative looking clothes (cheap) just to help with the “LOOK”
Yeti Blue microphone
Apple Watch [my phone is usually taped to my hand so hoping it means I’m not so stuck to phone]
Glasses [because my eyesight is a lot worse plus 2 spare pairs as I’m constantly losing things]
AirTags for phone, keys & car – because I lose things constantly or forget things. REALLY BAD MEMORY.
Handbag of my dreams
Journals for keeping an eye on self-care, memory issues & ticklists & goal setting
As you can see, there’s a lot for business but also play. No more spending, gotta pay these off; I do not regret it. I will utilise all!
I plan to record tiktoks and videos for marketing my expertise and also get The Shop more out there. I absolutely LOVE my business, it is my calling!
I want to be successful; but I also get serious spending anxiety. I hate debt. But my bipolar and my impulse control from ADHD has been rather shit on these meds… I feel like I’m levelling out as the manager side of my brain is going ENOUGH – PAY IT ALL OFF YESTERDAY! [gotta love Autism – It’s highly routined and protective of the sacred space of self, keeps the naughtier side of me in check or directed somewhat]
I don’t regret the spends… they are extra focused on business and in a sense, wellness, self-care and keeping me busy. But I hate debt too. Plus, I recognise that my business has gone a little quiet.
I have made so many amulets – all queued up for the electroforming process so can focus on posts and a new strategy of marketing.
I have a great alternative community of boss women to observe and learn from in just the witch and alt practitioner community, where I live. I learn a lot from how awesome and talented that they all are.
Another great thing that I have realised [on these meds] is that I am recognising my hunger – which I did not before, and because I am eating properly, my skin is better! Worried about weight gain [typical woman, I am!] and I think they are starting to level out. At least, I hope they are! I am also sleeping deeper and longer, which for a perpetual insomniac that was surviving on 3 hours of multiple naps a day, I am very happy about!
Anywho, that’s me. Complicated, hardworking, head case.
