hypatia42Things are really picking up in the business aspect of my life. It feels good and right. It is also terrifying me. I take this as a good sign.
Things shifted for me while in FL. Like tectonically moved scale. The face of my life has changed and I'm not quite sure how things will ultimately shake out. Made some decisions, restructured things, communicated other things in better ways, overall good stuff going on in Amy-land.
I have set things up to pay my sales tax once a year. I will have to surpass 21 massages a month for that to have to change. I think this is an ok threshold to stay under for my health and wellness and overall focus allowed to other parts of my life that I find valuable.
I think I will be instituting $x+tax once I get to the studio space and automatically putting that extra amount into a savings account to save my brain from wibbliness later. Also going to be putting about 20% of each transaction into that same savings to cover self-employment tax and income tax such that we aren't caught off guard each April scrambling to get the money together. I know that amount is in excess of what I will actually be owing due to deductions and expenses and the like. It is still a good way to pay myself back with interest while decreasing stress about other things. Even after doing that I should have plenty left over to pay my bills with wiggle room. It will take me a while to work my business up to the point where I am doing anywhere close to 21 massages a month but I have faith that I will get there. In the meantime I am doing everything I can to cover my bills(eeeeppp!!).
Car accident recovery continues apace. That pace being slow. There are a couple of places that are hounding me for payment since they either billed slowly or miss billed at the offset. Not so happy about that but I am lucky to have a good lawyer who is fighting for me. I kinda wish I could say I was done and recovered already but that would be a lie, or overly optimistic...
