December 12, 2009, 10:45 pm : New Years Resolutions

Filed Under: personal
Discussion: View Comments

It is the end of the year and I am trying to figure out where my life needs to go. Once again I am at a turning point in my life. Craziness and madness has ruled for the last few years. I barely made it out of a bad marriage, bad business deals and generally bad behavior with minor scratches.

Now I am on the verge of doing what I did a few years ago. A meteoric rise with next to no expectations. This time I am by myself and not married. But I know that I am engaging in questionable behavior. I find myself asking myself all types of questions and having no one to bounce them off of.

Instead of resolutions, I will create a list of things to work on and post them here relatively soon. Let’s see how things go.

December 3, 2009, 8:03 pm : Make sure to have a Happy Holiday

This has been a pretty tough year for everyone. The economy has been very, very rough and many people out there are hurting but there is hope out there. I believe that this adversity will bring out the best in the people out there. The hardy will not only survive this but thrive. The same goes for companies and the government.

We have been retooling and making changes around here also. Many people have done many things in order to make our sites a success. We have had to scale back and slow things down a bit. We had to redouble our efforts, tighten our belts and eat hot dogs on a monthly basis but we have done other things also.

We have been sure to spend time with our families. We have reconnected with many of our friends. We have spent long walks with those that we care about and let them know how much we care about them. Although, we do not have the money we had before we do have stronger bonds and those bonds are what will get us through this holiday season. More importantly, it will allow us to come through this better, leaner and stronger.

What about you?

It is Spring and I find myself very,very busy. I have been trying to keep momentum going for some time now but I can’t help but want to stop and smell the flowers. The weather has warmed up quite a bit and I am trying to enjoy myself.

But there is work to be done. We are almost finished with the changes that need to be made to the various sites and I have been able to convince a few more bulk listers to join the auction sites. SeannLewiscom will start selling templates, computers and other products. I will soon open another new store also. We haven’t come up with a name yet though.

We will be giving all of our customers on the auction sites $1000 in listing fee credits. WE are doing this as a thank you for their continued support of us. Our PR / Marketing campaign will begin in earnest in May also. I suspect that there will be a huge increase in traffic and that is why our servers are being upgraded.

All auction shops that are within the SeannLewiscom umbrella will soon be searchable within Virtual Shops. We will exteend this to other shops as time goes on. Those sites are:

Virtual Gems Emporium

Virtual Collectible Shoppe

Virtual Art Auction

On a personal note, I am buying a new truck. I am pretty happy about it. In order to get the truck I want I have to put down a large down payment thoguh so I won’t be doing too much in the short term but at least I am not walking. So I am happy.

BTW, Thanks for pointing out the error in the mailing that VGE sent out. I didn’t realize that one of the links was wrong. We will make sure to double chekc and then triple check next time. Also thanks for letting us know about the confusing emails that is being sent out by those over at Vintage Gems Emporium. We will be sure to send out an email lettin everyone know about what is going on.

 

Thank you,

Seann Lewis
