I can't believe it's taken me so long to write these words here. I mean, I finished the course a few weeks ago already! And I have been telling myself I need to share the news here almost every day since then but just haven't had the time. So I'm doing it now!
I finally finished Deanne Love's Hooplove Coaching! Ok so it took me a little longer than the 30 days it was supposed to take. I imagine that many other hoopers (ahem those without kids!) could dedicate a few hours to the course each night. I couldn't. If I was lucky I could watch the tutorials or read the material for 30 minutes to an hour MOST nights (some nights I just couldn't do it). By the time my kids were in bed, and I finished packing lunches for the next day, and folding the laundry, and making whatever hoops were on order, there was usually a very small sliver of time left to do the course work. So I picked away at it, but I did manage to finish it by about the second week of June, so that's not too far behind!
So now what? Well, I'm finding myself in this interesting transition period, where I know I need to be doing more for my hoop business but I still don't know exactly what. But I am not stressing about it. I feel like the beauty of what I am doing is that I don't need to pressure myself. I can grow my business as fast, or as slow, as I would like. So it is taking me some time to wrap my head around the whole process. There are still a lot of things I feel I need to work on, like my bio and credentials, and thinking about a website, and organizing more classes. As always family first, so I fit the hoop business in around that.
Admittedly I am finding it hard to build an interest in hooping and I am still not sure if that is because this town is a hard crowd to crack, or if I'm not trying hard enough. I am putting myself out there as much as I can, but I am never entirely sure if it is enough. For example I do know other hoopers who are doing so many more events than I am, but the bottom line is, I just can't commit to much of that stuff...yet. There is still time.
For the time being, I am making time to plan weekly hoop jams and gatherings, and hoping that people will come out to meet me, and a few have. I've still been at the Y every Sunday, sometimes I have a few people and sometimes I don't. I've also been trying to get to Sunset Point with my hoops on Wednesday evenings, and have had a few people join me then too.
The most important thing is that I keep on hooping, and that I can do!
