It’s about to get strategic around here.

And I have mixed feelings about that? On the one hand, it’s been great wandering from topic to topic, writing to you about whatever bubbles up.

On the other hand, while it’s been fun for me—and you don’t seem to mind— trying to build a business with that kind of aimlessness is a little …adolescent.

Time to grow up.

Because the folks I know with thriving businesses have one thing in common: a big picture they’ve painted with a unifying theme and a well thought out plan.

And thanks to my business Muses—Laurie, Lea, Michele, Nina, Nona, and Reese—I finally have a plan that works. And there ain’t no room (or time) for any more aimless wandering. Focus is the focus.

Which means the Bulb and I are splitting up.

Because, among other things, it’s become hard for me to cerebrally separate the two. And I don’t much like being at real-world gatherings of online people and introducing myself as “Big Bright Bulb”. That’s not me, that’s a website…ya know?

Overall, I imagine it will be good to arrange things so I can take my work here seriously, but not personally.

The Me Side

So to keep up with the Me side, please do hop over to CrysWilliams.com and subscribe to updates. I’ll write about all manner of stuff. There’s no schedule and no plan, I make no promises and take no prisoners :-)

Also, if you follow me on Twitter at @bigbrightbulb you may also want to follow me at @crystalwilliams, because that’s where the chatter will be from now on. The Bulb’s Twitter feed will be more focused, too. Not serious, because I don’t do that, just less banterific.

The BBB Side

And what will be happening here? Welllll…the tagline says “ideas and tools for tiny online businesses” and there are currently, like, 121 posts with ideas and only 12 posts on tools. Way past time to balance that out.

You’ll see.

Recap

BigBrightBulb.com: all work, some play, more ideas, many more tools
CrysWilliams.com: all play, no work, no plan, no prisoners
@bigbrightbulb: more links, more facts, less chitchat
@crystalwilliams: all chitchat, goofiness, and thanks for sharing

As always: I’m glad you’re here.

And I hope to see you over there, too :-)
