Being an entrepreneur and creative - at heart - allows me to get an idea, have a dream, and bring it to life.

Changes that will be taking place with this domain - Center of Muse - have been in the works since I registered and began playing with the domain, over a year ago.

The education of blogging for profit, has paid for the hosting and growing collection of domain names in my portfolio. Cool beans.

But now, I get to use a perk of being a small business owner that large megalithic corporations can never dream of. I get to change direction. I get to turn on a dime.

Change scares many people. Me included, sometimes. But when it has been the aim from the get-go - it’s much easier.

While much of the country is in a recession, with the economy tanking, real estate foreclosures, and federal rate cuts - its going to be a hard year for many small businesses. Not to mention many American families.

And while my business on one hand IS feeling the pressure, a lot of my formerly flush clients just don’t have the money, yet still have the necessity for business coaching, freelance writing & business support services.

I’ve been tossing around the idea of going non profit, and maybe brick and mortar for some time. I’d still accept online and long distance clients however, but I feel that my expertise in running a business and managing people could actually help the economy.

I look at it like this… if I can create opportunities for others to make money in my organization, I’ll make money too. More success, more mouths fed, more people that can survive the economic hardships facing us this year.

I’ve been “tire kicking” - looking at online real estate sites and scouting some possible business buys. If I can get the funding for a whole building, that will be the way to go. If I cannot… places to lease.
