Hello Ladies!
I hope the rainy weather has got you snuggling in and getting inspired. I have spent the last couple of months being fairly unmotivated and uninspired and scared that it was going to last forever. But, as always, I seem to have pulled out of it and now I am ready to go!!!!! I attended the Flock Pod meeting and after the meeting I had to run up and down the stairs a few times just to get some energy out! We tossed around some brilliant ideas and I am super excited to have awesome women to witness me and help me hold myself accountable, as well as be there for others in the same way. Just having you to bounce ideas off of feels really good. I have wanted to get my solo performance business really going for 3 years now and for some reason I have put little to no effort into it, just waiting for clients to come to me through word of mouth. As a result, I have done only 4 or 5 solo gigs in the last 3 years, and they pay REALLY well so what's my damn problem???!! my new years resolution 2006 was to make myself business cards and I think I ended up making them early 2007.... and i still have almost the whole box left.
******So!******* Here are my next steps: I need to come up with a name for my business. Any ideas? thoughts? suggestions? In March Fourth and Vagabond Opera I go by Amy Hotfield, so I think I could somehow incorporate my name into it... or not! Another thing I would like to do is create a website for myself. I am going to look in to doing it myself, but if that's too hard, does anyone know of a good lady website designer? preferably not too expensive.....
Anyway, here are my notes from our meeting last Tuesday:

name for business! ask for help on blog
