This is my dilemma at present.

I am on semi-holidays from work at the moment (no students, but admin work to get done). Consequently, I’ve had a lot more time than usual to spend online and think about my business plans.

The problem is - the ideas just keep on coming! There are so many things I want to do - so many projects I’ve started, or want to start… but I also realise that if I don’t pace myself, I’m going to be looking at a disaster on all fronts. Like most of you, I have my ‘day-job’. I am also going to be working six days a week for a total of 12 weeks over the next few months.

On top of normal life, where I try to find time for my off-line interests, (my cello teacher is bugging me at the moment… she wants to push me on but I’m not quite up to it yet… need more practice!), and work, that leaves me little time - realistically - to work on all the projects I have in mind.

Now, I mentioned my photography business idea. I have been hard at work getting that set up - creating products, designing a website, brainstorming advertising ideas, (I’ve got quite a good video in mind… we’ll see if that comes together), and generally trying to create something stylish and professional - doing it all myself. I’m enjoying myself, and I can’t wait to launch it out there, but there’s still a lot of work to be done.

Also, there’s this blog, my Sustainable Suburbia blog, a niche website I’m working on (remember, I mentioned that a little while back?), a few e-book ideas, the 30DC coming up in August, and….

I have a new idea for a blog. One that I think could be really successful. I’ve been tossing around ideas in my head in the general vicinity of a particular niche for a while, but I wasn’t sure quite how to go about it. I’m interested in creating a paid membership site also, and thought I could do it in this niche… which perhaps I still could, though my focus has now changed. But an idea came to me yesterday - a very specific blog idea that gels exactly with my background and interests. However, it’s a blog that will also take good solid research and quite a bit of my time to do properly.

So - what to do? A blog takes time to develop, to gain readers, and to grow before it becomes anywhere near profitable. So, my dilemma is this - do I get started now, set it up and build slowly - perhaps only doing one quality post there a week - or do I wait until the craziness in my life has settled a bit and I have more time, but risk wasting 6 months or so?

Your input would be much appreciated! What would you do in my situation?
