Alright.. business logistics.. goals.. and hopes..

I've been doing some math and thinking. Seems I'll be able to make 10 - 15 Tshirt Teddies every month once I get everything up and running and I've settled into a routine with my new art business. It's a little hard to do that now since I'm working a full-time job. But once I'm able to concentrate fulling on Dream Ship, I'll be able to make a bear every 2 - 3 days; which means approximately 10 - 15 bears a month and ~$200 in donations for UNAIDS or WWF.

Besides bears, I'll also be making many other things; like accessories, jewelry, bags, other stuffed critters, and even altering old clothes for resale. There is also my photography and selling the prints. I'm hoping to be able to make a minimum of ~$500 a month. Once I have my ship, which will also be my home, office, and studio.. I should be able to survive off of that much at least. I've done it before, I can easily do it again. Over time, I hope to make a little bit more for every penny I make an equal amount of money will go towards raising money for the many charities I support.

As you know, half of my proceeds from Tshirt Teddies will be going to UNAIDS or WWF.. but I also wish to raise money for Heifer International, World Vision, and several others. With half of all the money I make goes to charity, then I will feel like a very rich and incredible person~^^ For as I've told many of my friends.. I don't care about money or being rich. I just want to make a difference!

I will also start writing books soon. I have the talent I've been told on many an occasion. I've just never really utilized it. So if I can get published and my books sell.. then I'll be able to raise even more money! :D If for some reason I happen to start making more than $3000 a month in proceeds (this is after half has already been sent to charity).. EVERYTHING over that $3000 mark will be sent to charity as well. There's no need for me to keep more than that amount each month! I don't need it. I have absolutely no desire to be amassing more than $40,000 a year.

Should all this take off and escape even my most wildest dreams to become a thriving empire in business......... O_O....... For one, I shall be deeply shocked... For two, I will then use my success as an example to the world as to how one should desire to live their life. Yes.. as much as I hate it.. we need to make money to survive in society today.. But that does not mean that should allow that need to rule over us and drive us into slaving away day and night for the better part of our adult lives! Money is simply a means to survive and function in the world today. It should not be the number one most important thing in our lives to the point where we throw everything else aside. At least.. that is my belief.

Anyway.. I guess I'm feeling rather contemplative today.. I keep righting down more and more stuff.. ke..ke.... Well~ Have a blessed time in life.. where ever you may be~^^
