Staying busy is good...

We've had a lot of activity with our pending move into the new studio!

The contractors have nearly finished their work, with only the carpet left to do.

The sign company placed the door and window lettering and will put the building sign up this week.

I've ordered the new stuff for the studio (i.e. posters, furniture, basketball hoop, etc.).

And we have three days before our first night in the new location ... which will be Friday night.

Phew...

With all that, there is still a ton to do. And on top of it all, we're doing a Home School activity fair Thursday evening until 9:00 p.m.

This means that from 9:30 Thursday evening until whenever, we're going to be moving the last of our furniture and gear from the old studio to the next. Then, Friday morning, we'll be back up there bright and early to hang paintings, posters, set up rooms, set up the drums/PA/amps, install the basketball backboard and who knows what else. All to be ready for our open house starting at 6:00 p.m.

The point of this post is this...

Being busy for the right reasons is a great, great thing. Even though we have a tight deadline and a ton of work to do, we're excited about the move and are ready to start the next phase of our business in the new location.

When you're busy because the business is doing great, you hardly think about the work you do. Rather than looking at the workload as a big drag that never ends, you look at it as a "must do" list (rather than a "to do" list) that is required to take the business to the next level.

Besides, in the end, everyone would prefer to be busy rather than having nothing to do and starring at the phone all day hoping a customer will call.
