Still Committed

Day 2: Still Committed

Kind of obvious but backwards realization: if I’m writing here, I’m not working elsewhere. This morning I managed 10 more listings in the restaurants directory on SBmerge.com because it takes foreeevvvveerrrrr. And one three-day event. I need an intern! (Or more time to do it myself…)

365 Entrepreneur: New Daily Project

365 Days to Become An Entrepreneur!

Next year I’m turning 30! Was ist das?! So I’ve decided that for the 365 days I will be dedicating every day toward my entrepreneur/solopreneur/no-more-working-stiff life and will hold myself accountable on this here blog to show something pretty I’ve made, new things I’ve encountered, extra work I’ve put in, means to ends, yadda yadda yadda. The end date doesn’t exactly coincide with turning 30, but better early than late.

Things I’ve Been Doing Lately

Running

Last month I went on a run to the beach & back and haven’t stopped since! I’ve already whittled away 6 of the 10 lbs I’m trying to lose and feel happier and stronger. Also: feistier. Thanks to the incessant gloom of late I haven’t been motivated to get up and run in the morning but I made a deal with myself that if I leave work by 4pm, I have to drive straight home and run to the beach. This is a crazy good deal because 1) I like leaving work at 4pm, 2) I get to be outside in the sunshine, 3) it energizes me for the rest of the night.

Tar Creek, Sespe Wilderness

Tar Creek Hike, Sespe Wilderness

Tar Creek, Sespe Wilderness, Ventura County, Southern California

 

I woke up with a wild hair this morning & decided it was high time for a new adventure! So we packed up the backpack and headed out to Fillmore, CA to check out the Tar Creek waterfall hike. Generally, I can make & execute plans pretty well, but this was not one of those times. The directions I had on my phone seemed good enough, but they really explained nothing & since I didn’t have a signal, we were lost 80% of the time. We fumbled our way all over the back country and never even found the purpose of the trip: the waterfall. FAIL. Better luck next time?

How to Use Twitter for Business

Lately a lot of clients come to me needing help with Facebook and Twitter. They understand Facebook to a point, but I constantly hear the same refrain when it comes to Twitter: “what is the point?!” While this post doesn’t really explain the point, it does highlight 10 ways to interact with current or potential clients on Twitter.

Demetria Wine Tasting

Demetria Wine Tasting

Could not ask for a better day in the valley! Mik, Nate and I went out to Santa Ynez to go wine tasting at Demetria, Evan’s Ranch and Gainey (to pick up our Evan’s Ranch shipment), but I only managed to remember my camera at Demetria… A crowd favorite, be sure to check them out!

We took a little extended weekend over Easter and stayed at Korakia Pensione – a fabulous boutiquey little hotel in downtown Palm Springs. They have two pools, a bocce ball court, free bike rentals, an outdoor projected movie every night, fire pits, day beds, free home cooked breakfast — you really can’t ask for more!

Palm Springs, Palm Canyon Hike

Palm Springs – Palm Canyon Hike

Second rule of travel (behind sampling local fruit): take a hike! Palm Springs has a surprising number of options for hiking, but we settled on the Palm Canyon hike in the Indian Canyons Reserve. ($9/each to get in, but worth it… Thanks for sharing your land!)

Banana Azul, Costa Rica

Getting the Lay of the Land

We rented bikes from Banana Azul and went exploring first thing the next morning. The town of Puerto Viejo is probably 2km from the hotel, but you can ride all the way to the end of the road at Manzanillo – about 20km one way. (Which we did on this day!) We were really hoping to go snorkeling, but as we rode around it was obvious that the ocean wasn’t in snorkeling condition: fast sets on rough seas… Either way, we had enough to keep us occupied with beach scouting and scoping out the little shops along the way.
