Week in Review
Sorry for the lack of posts this week. I’ve worked a lot at CLS this week, which hasn’t left much time for anything else. I’ve been working about ten hours per day, going to the gym in the evenings, practicing drums and by that point, I’m pretty worn out, so I usually crash in front of the TV for the rest of the evening.
I’m not complaining about the ten hours per day this week. Actually, I’m excited about it (yes, I know it’s odd to hear someone actually happy about working ten hours per day for four days straight… I actually enjoy my job). CLS is in the process of getting a couple of internet ideas off the ground. We now have a website called the CLS General Store that will be selling apparel to businesses online. We already do this with a local bank and it has been successful, so we’re in the process of adding some more business customers. The General Store also has retail apparel for all local schools.
The second idea is going to be a little more fun. We’re launching an online t-shirt store that will allow people to submit their own designs. There’s several online sites that already do this, but ours will be a little different in that we will also have Christian t-shirts, Frankfort t-shirts, Kentucky t-shirts and more. We’re still working through some details, but the basic framework of the site should be up-and-running in the next few days.
In other news…
I’ve been working hard on my budget lately. For the last several months, I haven’t been good about managing money at all. Dave Ramsey says that if you don’t manage your money, your money will manage you. It’s quite true. If you don’t tell your money where to go, it’s funny how it just disappears on its own. As an example, I paid off my car at the end of last year and planned on saving for my next vehicle to be able to buy it straight out. As of today, I have $0 saved for my next vehicle. Aside from filling out a monthly budget, I’ve also been trying to plan long-term. I’ve set up a few savings goals and goals to pay off debts. I’m hoping that by year’s end, I’ll be in pretty good shape.
