The Things They Don’t Put in a Business Plan Journal

Entry: Catching Up On Everything

This weekend, I finally put away the boxes I’d rearranged at home two months ago.

Laundry got started, the kitchen mostly reset, and for two days, I was at home. Yet, as I folded clothes, my mind folded through marketing ideas. As I unpacked boxes, I unpacked what workshop I should do next. The business doesn’t take weekends off, does it?

But here’s the catch: catching up isn’t just chores. It’s letting my mind run with the business and then gently reminding it that rest is also part of the plan. The boxes are put away, and the ideas? They’ll still be there Monday. Catching up means both clearing space and allowing space. And despite all that, I didn’t even touch the editing of my book—though I thought about it a few times. Now I’m ready for what’s next.

So, what did your weekend catch-up look like? I’d love to hear what you managed—or didn’t!

The Things They Don’t Put in a Business Plan Journal
Entry: Value Versus the Awkward Part

One of the strangest parts of being a small business owner is deciding what to charge.

Not because there’s no math involved — there is.

But because there are also feelings.
And values.
And that quiet question in the background:
Is this too much? Or not enough?

Value and worth are not the same thing.
Value is what someone pays.
Worth is what something carries
And those two don’t always line up neatly.

I’ve learned that pricing has to be something I’m in alignment with. If I’m not, it shows up everywhere — in how I speak about my work, how I hold the space, and how much energy I bring into the room. When the price is off, something else is off too.

There’s also commitment.

Real commitment.

When someone commits — financially and otherwise — they show up differently. They stay present. They do the work. And healing responds to that kind of attention.

So I charge in a way that feels honest.
Not inflated. Not apologetic.
Just aligned.

It’s not about proving worth.
It’s about honoring it.

This is something we’re still learning at Basic Harmony, with every offering and every session. But it’s part of the work — the business kind and the inner kind.

Entry: Cookies for One

So here I sat.
All alone.

Cookies bought.
Tea made.
Workshop prepared.

And no one showed up.

Hmmm.

As I munched on a cookie—purely for morale, obviously—it felt like a good moment for self-reflection. Or at least honest chewing.

Maybe it’s because last week only one person came to my open house.
Although, to be fair, the three of us waiting for that one had a very nice time.
Still… perhaps that explains why I felt a little alone today.

But there I was.
Holding space.
Munching another cookie.
Thinking.

And here’s the thing: I’m ready for March 7th.

Because when people do show up, this is a good workshop. Lives actually change. I’ve seen it. I trust it. Even on days when the chairs stay empty and the cookies don’t.

So maybe today was important in a different way.
Maybe today was meant to be quiet.
Maybe today was for me.

Either way, the clinic is ready for a week of healing.
And I’m still here.
With cookies.

Happy Monday.
