Overwhelmed

"I know you can be underwhelmed and you can be overwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?" 

What is this?!

I thought I was doing well this month- I had my exercise regime down, had my content backed up and I was well ahead of where my plan was in terms of what I wanted to create. I’ve hit a wall. It’s Sunday and I haven’t got some content ready for a website, and now it’s February and I haven’t completed my one HUGE task in January which was to get my LLC set up, get my business license, and get my bank account open. Now I have February to do that- plus get my Health & Safety course completed, and get insurance so I can sell cakes. I feel a little overwhelmed. How did I drop the ball?

Any tips for people out there who have set up businesses before that can help? I used She Who Bakes’ business book to get me up and running in the UK, but the USA is SO different in term of the laws.

One thing I have realised is that the taxes in America seem to work differently in that you have to declare all your income every year- including extra money that would be deemed "‘for a business” but you can declare it as ‘an individual’ when receiving it. So that’s nice, and saved me stressing about not having my business.

Though I would have liked the money to go into my as yet set up business account so I don’t overspend and actually start figuring out money.

This may be a little over the place, but it’s where my head is at right now.

I need a little shake, a little reality check, and I will be right back on it. I don’t feel guilty, just a little overwhelmed.

Love
Colin
