from Gizmodo:
OK, so this isn’t our normal thing, but we felt that it was only right to fill you all in on this excellent opportunity to 1. drink a lot of wine and 2. contribute to a worthy cause. Tomorrow Wine.com is launching an initiative to raise $100,000 in relief for the victims of the recent Chilean earthquake. Their plan is simple (and generous): for every 12 bottles of Chilean wine purchased, they’ll donate $100 to a Chilean non-profit. There are 16 bottles to choose from and they all run under $25, so if you like wine or like helping out (and especially if you like both), definitely head to their site for more information.

New logo, new website, business cards! All in the works, stay tuned.
I’m at the Simply Soles store opening in Georgetown in DC. All I have to say is WOW!!! Kassie has not only the best team working with her but the chicest boutiqe in the Georgetown mall. She and the Simply Soles crew have done an amazing job with the new store.
I have been working with her for several years now and can’t express how excited I am for her new store opening! Way to go Kassie & all of Simply Soles!
For the guys out there it even has a place for us!

Up there I would also include medical billing. How does a company bill me for $800 for a simple blood HDL/LDL test and then my insurance company steps in and suddenly it goes down to $85. I know that there are lots of moving parts but come on!
For me when my business is slow, I GO CRAZY!!! As do most people who work for themselves the first reaction is to get scared. Much better than almost getting into a wreck on the highway. Having little to no business coming in the door while all the same bills still do wakes up in the middle of the night with an energy that needs to be capitalized on.
GET YOU HEAD IN ORDER FIRST, you can’t get much done when you can’t concentrate on what needs to be done.
Getting inspired when down is flat out hard to do, here is where I start getting my head in order.
1. You choose your attitude no one else can do it for you.
2. Keep in mind some one some where is making money at what you are doing, so the work is out there, you just need to find it.
3. The bottom line is important but you would not be working for your self if that is what mattered the most to you.
GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!
Staying at home in your PJs or bath robe is therapeutic when sick or coming off of a really big job but it does not do anything good for your mental state when business is slow. A simple bike ride or shooting something for just fun can get your creative juices going. I am currently trying to get my first art exhibit together since college, all in my down time. After you have your head together and are really ready only then move on.
MAKE TO DO LISTS to keep on task.
I have A-D-D pretty bad when business is slow, I make use of paper and pen to make myself a task list for every day of the week. I also try to alternate my tasks from active and computer based to keep my energy level up through out the day. I also try to make some sort of contact with a potential client at least 3 times a week. I admit it is not my favorite part of the week but when it pays off it feels great. Here are two other sites I look to to fill up my to do list:

Just lanes in NYC @JFK and I am pumped up. I hev been reading #Crush it! On the plane and can’t stop bouncing from energy. 9 hour flight and I’m energized (still sick with a cold). Every time I pick up this book I have to put it down to take notes of what I’m going to do when I get back to DC. I have a list of things I want to do that will keep me busy for the next 2 weeks. #Gary Vaynerchuck if you are listening to thus crazy blog, thank you!
Here are some shots from the festival. And when you see it, wow, all those booths are selling different kinds of honey. Over 200 booths! To give you an idea this roomis about 100 yards whose by 300 yards long.
Going to the Honey Festival tomorrow, very excited! Hope to have some shots to share even if it just from iPhone cam. Last few days in Moscow and I have been trapped inside because of a cold. I am going out tomorrow come hell or high snow.
