On Vacation

So I have been on vacation since July 29th, over a week now - what does that mean for a one-person home-based internet business? First I had to shut down my used books listings on Amazon.com. They require a two day turnaround on shipping books, and I couldn't carry my inventory with me. I just left the personalized books site up and running, I've only been averaging one sell a month anyway. Of course, after five days of vacation I finally found a wireless connection strong enough to connect to (I parked outside a big Hotel on the beach road, never fails), and found I had two orders for three books. So I had to crank out a couple of emails explaining that since we were short-handed due to summer vacations their orders would not be processed until August 12th. (Create-A-Book does have a drop ship program where you can get another dealer to process your orders for you, but I don't think that is necessary at this time - a two week turnaround isn't too bad.)

I also heard from the director of the soccer league that I am hoping to do a fund raiser with, and he let me know the Recreation Committee would decide on the fund raiser at a meeting today.

So business goes on, more or less, as I soak up the sun and laze in the ocean...
