It is 5 months since I said goodbye to corporate life and started my own business.  It is everything I ever thought it would be and everything I couldn't even have imagined.  So, here is my Top 10 List of "Oh My God!" moments.

  1. HTML emails really do strange things in the same browsers.  Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.
  2. Choose the correct distribution list for your newsletter.  I picked Family instead of Professionals group and Aunt G was completely confused.
  3. Don't leave your iPhone out for your 6 year old to see.  It looks too much like a handheld game.
  4. Don't let your daughter answer your phone anymore.  Clients get confused.
  5. Clients calling at odd hours can be positive.  We had an ice dam and my husband needed help getting the ladder out of 3 ft of snow.  I had to talk to my client.  Husband impressed me with his burly qualities and dug out the ladder himself.
  6. It is interesting what a small world it is.  Forget 6 degrees, think 2.
  7. Did I really print "Principle" rather than "Principal" as my title on my business card?  Just barely caught that one before handing them out.
  8. Dogs bring in half eaten animals at completely the wrong times.  Don't scream on the phone with a client.
  9. Make sure your love affair with your pajamas and slippers doesn't interfere with showering before your husband comes home.
  10. Closing an engagement!!!
