Embarking on this journey as a fresh-faced entrepreneur, it’s part and parcel to consistently generate new ideas, revamp concepts, and experiment with new ventures. I can’t be the only one, can I, who feels like they’re jumping from one idea to the next in these early stages?
Over time, I’ve brainstormed countless ideas for this blog and my business. If you’ve been with me from the start, you’ll have encountered similar letters before: declarations like “The website is changing direction,” or “Starting now, we’re going to operate this way.” That’s just part of who I am—a person teeming with ideas, sometimes struggling to hold on to a single one.
I often find myself absorbing the wisdom of experienced entrepreneurs who insist on the necessity of having a solid business plan, knowing your sources of income, and proverbially “selling the bear’s skin before shooting it.” Yet, that’s not my style. I acknowledge this approach might slow down my progress and increase the risks in my venture. Trust me, I’ve attempted to plan and stick to those plans, but inevitably, I conceive a new, seemingly better idea. Should I just disregard it? Ha! Ideally, I suppose, that’s what I “should” do. However, I’m not a fan of being boxed in by what one “should” or “shouldn’t” do. So, once again, I’m introducing a new tweak on the website. I believe that I’ve gleaned valuable insights during my first year as an entrepreneur, and this plan is well-considered, if I do say so myself.
For now, I’m pleased to announce that the website has adopted a new name: Grounded Gardens. Those of you who’ve been with us for a while might have noticed already?! Our other social media platforms will also undergo name changes soon, but for the time being, both Grounded Gardens and The Swedish Homestead are alive and well. It’s a bit confusing, I know, but bear with me, clarity is just around the corner. Of that, I’m almost entirely certain!
Do you, like me, find yourself frequently altering your plans, or do you stick to a single blueprint? I’d love to hear your story in the comments below—it’s so enriching to learn from the multitude of paths we all tread.
With love and gratitude,
Amanda
