Progress No matter How Small or Slow is Still Progress

5 May 2025

Handed out 5 business cards out to a friend of mine today. Hopefully, she will buy my book and hand out my business cards to people.

I picked up a short term client over the weekend. So things are picking up for my business.

I also reached out to my friend who let me borrow her nice flatbed Scanner for getting my own Family History stuff digitized and my clients things as well.

I will give it back to her when I buy my own and that probably won’t be until next year. I have to make a profit this year to keep the IRS off my back.

I also got my ad sent off to the Wallsburg Newspaper. So that’s why should be out in June.

Was brave and handed out another business card to someone and Physically Therapy.

The Last Three Months of My Entrepreneur Journey

 I just realized today that I have not posted a blog in quite awhile. I have been very busy.     My Local Book Festival on 4 October 2025 went pretty well. Lots of networking and I sold two books. Any exposure is great. I have been doing a lot of leg work on getting my book more exposure. I have been able to get a free book sighing set up with the Barnes and Noble in Park City on Saturday, 15th of November.  I am very excited about this. I finished my end of helping a friend who wanted me to help gather her family stories the last week of October. I also finished an on going verification project for another client - 18 months later. Now, we can focus on the research part of this project. I found out that Wasatch County may be hiring a County Historian. I went in person and sent an email of my interest. Well, I was advised to look for the job posting in January 2026. They were not ready for my intensity I think.  I am okay with that, at least they know my na...

My Life as a Family History Researcher/Historian- Week 15

This week has been wild.  1. My editor and I got the eBook version of Unraveling the Family Secret uploaded, uploaded to Amazon.com. I received an email back from Amazon.com yesterday. The email stated that they needed more information to make sure I was the only one with the rights to my book and that no other publisher had rights to it. Also, they only gave me 5 days to gather my documentation. My editor suggested that I scan in a copy of my Copyright Registration Letter and copies of my Business License since I self-published through my family history research business, Coming Full Circle as the official publisher. I got it all sent off today with an email reply. I have received a reply email back. They have received the documents and further review is needed. I will receive a reply from them in 5 business days. Hopefully, it will be published by the end of the month. 2. I finished my Spring Semester for school this week. 10 more credit hours under my belt towards my BS Degree i...
