FreshYields - Ecommerce and Internet Marketing Solutions

While it’s been no secret to some, Fresh Yields has temporarily closed it’s doors. Well, that should be door, since it was just the front door to my house. Many things have been going on for the past few months, but here is a summary:

• A few projects were taking way too long, and it was probably no ones fault but my own. I only have a few left on my plate, and I am trying to close them out as effectively as I can.
• While trying to get Fresh Yields off the ground, I still held a full-time job. Well, my real job’s duties increased big time, which left little time.
• Family. This may be the biggest thing, but by no means is it a bad thing. Juggling the two jobs while having 3 beautiful daughters under 6 years old and a very understanding wife become increasingly difficult. I really don’t know how some of you do it. It wasn’t that bad when they were younger. But now with homework after school, and soon sports practice or ballet, it’s just going to be too much for me. I would much rather spend time with them and not have to worry that I’m going to be up until 4 A.M coding. And, to be honest, my wife and I have been getting along much better since my workload decreased, although I think she is taking my place with her blogging.
• And finally, deadbeat clients suck. They lead to pissed off employees, who essentially worked for nothing. Any present and former clients that I still have a relationship with, please be sure to know I am not talking about you.

This does not mean I am finished with all things internet.  Hopefully quite the opposite.  Fresh Yields, the company, may be back and better than ever.  But for now, Fresh Yields will just be the blog home of Steve James.
