Hi,

I am about ready for my website critique and ready to launch my beachwear, feminine and fun tshirt clothing line.   I have become such a perfectionist that it delayed the website launch until now!   the original launch would have been Nov.2007.   It is only me.   I choose colors, styles, designs, take photos, write content, jewelry design, read about fashion daily, learn quickbooks, prostores, learn about UPS vs USPS (not easy to do), eco friendly packaging, hang tags, woven labels, storing inventory, sizing, more accounting, business licenses, OK enuf..you solo entrepreneurs understand.   

The website should launch/WILL launch at the end of next week and I am out of energy.  I am burnt out.   NOW is when I need the energy to go out there and do my crazy woman marketing and PR.   Now I need to drive people to my website AND pound on doors for wholesale accounts.   Make money so i can afford to design more clothes.  I feel like I am walking in quicksand.  

I used to be sooooo excited and couldn`t wait until the SUN members would review my website.    Now I am just over my website.  I cannot see the forest for the trees!   Is there a name for this sickness/disease?    Does this happen to others?    I am usually such a positive-do it-now type of person.   

Help me obi-wan, you`re my only hope.

thanx for listening.

thanks team!

I sure was feeling it last night.    I read ya`lls responses and watched 2 donny shows this morning and I am feeling a lil better.

Erin- i do remember talking about your websites delays and feeling your pain. and Craig is right, I do need to think about moderation right now.

AHA Nikole-   You are so right...the thrill of the chase.   Now that my `new boyfriend business` and I have been together for a while and I know sooo much about `him` wellll, maybe him and I just need a long weekend in a hotel to rejuvenate.    For me it is also the `thrill` of the problem solving.   

Dill Pickles make my chicken pucker!  I love that, it is intriquing. 

Dang Ric, where were last summer?! :)

I just typed up the below in a pretty font and hung it up on my vision board!

Thanx Aaron!

I have to admit the SMARTEST thing I have done is to hire a web designer/coder.  He is the one that uses ProStores and `wrestled the beast`
