Where did this name come from? What does it mean?
Most mornings the day begins with checking emails and internet activity, breakfast and then a workout! The usual hour walk has been stepped up a bit and now includes running. Not a full force run, but a walk/run combination. This allows time to truly enjoy the workout and let my mind wander; for this is the time of the day when I discover amazing thoughts within my mind....and how the name Running Garlic came to be!
I had just finished planting all the garlic and come next summer I will have my first huge harvest of garlic and I do need a plan, but I have many more walk/runs to work out the details for this plan ... this particular morning my focus was on a name for my new endeavor and all sorts of garlicy names were coming to mind; Garlic Nest, Garlic Corner and they all were fine and dandy, but nothing really sparked my attention.
Sometimes when we are trying real hard to figure something out, we need to just step back and stop thinking. The answer will surface.
As I finished my walk/run I scrambled to find paper and pen to write down all these ingenious names; then it hit me! I thought "as I was Running and thinking of Garlic", I came up with all these names ... how about
"The Running Garlic"
Now What?
I have a name, I have a website ... what do I really want to do? Yes, eventually I would like to sell a product(s), yes, I realize the internet has huge potential for marketing and I am overwhelmed with the endless groups, forums and communities -
I need to organize a focused plan with a mission.
I want to take my interests and what I really love to do - gardening, crafts, positive motivation and healthy recipes along with working out and wrap them all in a neat little package and end up with this highly successful, well developed business.
How do I plan on doing this?
Not quite sure, but I encourage you to follow along as I take on this mission. I have all the tools I need right in front of me and I may just end up motivating others to follow their own dreams. We hear of many successful small businesses and admire their accomplishments, but we never really understand how they did it; the countless failures and the daily tasks ....one thing I am sure they all possess - an undeniable positive attitude that they can and will do it!
