Wow, that last stage was challenging. I'm damned glad I'm done with that one. I found myself fighting it tooth and nail, and not being very productive. Now one night on the next stage and I'm all about productivity. Feels good to be back again.
In the mean time, even my slacking has had business connotations. I've started creating perfumes and colognes as a hobby (thanks, Andrew!), but they're getting to be so good that I have three people trying to drag me into selling them for me, and I had someone buy my personal tester for the scent I made for myself as my personal signature scent. It wasn't even totally full, I had used about six sprays, but he bought it for $80 for the ounce. Cash on the barrelhead, even after I offered him a free 5 mil sampler instead. I was stunned. Then he told me a few days later that "my roommate loves the **** out of it, and women are more open and flirtatious when I wear it at work".
My test wearers for this cologne, which I'm calling Black Velvet, are all reporting that they get very interesting results from the ladies (which mirror my own experiences), and the two who are married have both had their wives forbid them from wearing it to work. So far, Black Velvet has a 100% positive response from everyone I've asked about it. Not expecting that to be true forever, but so far the worst response was from an 18 year old girl (the cologne is aimed at guys in their 30's and up) and she said, "That actually smells good." She liked another one I am calling Bahama better, but that's because Bahama smells like a pina colada being sipped in a tropical forest, and it is well known that younger people prefer fresh or fruity scents. Black Velvet is based on wood.
So far I have created:
Black Velvet (for men)
Bahama #1 (unisex)
Bahama #8 (for men)
Florialis (for women)
Stephanie (for women)
Gentleman In White (for men)
Vetiver (for men)
Sensual Man (for men)
Classic Man (for men)
and a couple I don't have names for yet, both designed for women.
They're not all finished, but they're all good enough that someone has requested either to buy or sell them.
I'm planning to create Gentleman In Black, Arabian Red, Jennifer, and perhaps a few more, finishing those that aren't yet finished, and then decide if I want to get serious about selling them. It's not like I wouldn't have a market, with how people are asking to buy them when I'm not even trying to sell. But perfumery is a very expensive business to start, and the competition is fierce. Not sure I want to do this yet. It's a lot of fun, though, even as ridiculously expensive as setup has been so far just for the lab.
Now I'm back to focusing on subliminals again for a while. I think I really needed that mini vacation, but now I have to focus on making new strides with the subliminals. So about to release Maximum Healing Speed 5G, and do some more 3G upgrades, and I'm working on general pain relief and a subliminal sleep aid - no binaural audio at all, so you can use it on speakers - and the both of them show great promise. I have both of them in use for their purpose by people with serious issues related to sleep and pain, and they get good feedback from most people.
2013 was a really good year for us, for making discoveries and creating some serious upgrades and new titles. 2014 is going to be even better. We have plans that should make for some really awesome improvements. I just signed off on revisiting getting the affiliate system going, so Andrew is working on that again. I'm confident we'll have an affiliate system this time that works for us as well as our affiliates, without making us vulnerable to scammers. Which can only mean we all win!
