Resources list
Internet resources I don't want to forget about when my month of self-study is over.The Fluent Self
http://www.fluentself.com/blog/
Havi Brooks's blog. The last thing I expected was to find a yoga teacher who also teaches about marketing your small business (even though she hates the word marketing and refuses to use it, so I should probably not use it to describe her). She does not draw a distinction between working on your Stuff (your resistances, procrastinations, fears, etc.) and working on your Business (which is kind of like You, only bigger).
Wishcraft, by Barbara Sher
http://wishcraft.com/
Now available as a free e-book. It has a lot of useful exercises for journaling, but the main message is the hardest to grasp and the most important: you should design your life around the things you love (and, the book says, "here's how").
Heart of Business
http://www.heartofbusiness.com/
Mark Silver's website, another resource for uniting the "yoga/self-study" perspective with the "making a living" perspective. It is refreshing to think that you don't have to have a split personality to do both...
Post I particularly liked:
http://www.heartofbusiness.com/the-wackiness-of-resonant-pricing/
Interesting site I have just started to explore:
http://www.productiveflourishing.com/how-heatmapping-your-productivity-can-make-you-more-productive/
I am curious about this heatmapping idea.
IttyBiz, another site I have just started to explore.

Resources for very small businesses.
I have been saying for years that I would NEVER EVER EVER want to run my own business. Now I am seriously contemplating the idea of starting two of them at once, yoga teaching and freelance writing. Unemployment + self-study = surprising results.

You live in my head, don't you? Either that, or you've got spyware on my laptop.
Seriously, woman!!
Maybe I should have 'fessed up that I cribbed half this list from Karen. The other half I found by obsessively reading Havi Brooks' blog archives. ;)
I just think it's both hilarious and very cool that we're finding so many of the same resources really helpful.
My friend Sabrina and I often discover that we're working on the same Stuff in different ways at the same time, and that our perspectives really help each other; now that mirroring process seems to be happening here, and it's fantabulous :)
