Today was busy. Very busy. A webinar presented for one of our associations (the one we own), attended by fewer than half the people who said they would. Our online evaluation subsequent to the webinar were all raving about how excellent it was...but when we asked whether they would pay to participate in the future (even though we told them it cost us $19.20 per person to hold it), half of respondents said they would participate only if we did not charge. What arrogant, stupid people. They said it was extremely valuable, useful to them...but they won't pay. The bastards deserve to go out of business, and most of them will. Narrow-minded, short-sighted idiots!
Bad news yesterday....the significant association that I wanted so badly did not come through. Today, I looked at our almost complete, but still preliminary, financials for year-end 2005...almost $23,000 in the red. Not good. But, I got word today, late in the day, that the small association I was courting finally came through...they want to go to contract and get transitioned to us ASAP. Revenue to us is very small, but obviously we can use every penny we get. I absolutely must get some new business.
I'm getting less and less enthused about business and more and more enthused about retiring or at least doing something different. Today simply deepened those levels of enthusiasm.
My energy is drained for the time being. Time to stop writing.
