I want to use that money to clear accounts with 30-40 customers and 3-5 suppliers. If you&#8217;re one of those, <b>I&#8217;m sorry<\/b>.

Hopefully that will help increase sales enough that I can resume paying back old customers and suppliers.<\/p>\n<p>And perhaps this month I can also find some time to update the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.anabaptistbooks.com\/services\/amazon\/\" title=\"Amazon Associate Links | Anabaptist Bookstore\">Amazon Associate<\/a> section of the site. That might increase income a bit too.<\/p>\n<p>Mostly, though, I want to increase my for-pay writing hours to 27 a week so that I have enough of that income leftover to go toward business debt pay-off. I would be thrilled to have all the principle paid off by year&#8217;s end; then maybe 2015 can be the year for paying off the interest on those debts.<\/p>\n<p>Again, <b>many huge thanks and blessings<\/b> to all of you who have extended so much grace to me in the last 18 months!<\/p>\n<p>And to each of you who have read this far in this blog post, <i>thank you as well!<\/i> If you have sufficient interest left, please check out my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.anabaptistbooks.com\/catalog\/seconds.html\" title=\"Used and Seconds | Anabaptist Bookstore\">Used and Seconds<\/a> listings on our site.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A glance behind; a look ahead&#8230;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_s2mail":"yes","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[6],"tags":[33],"class_list":["post-761","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-misc","tag-updates"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1zSU2-ch","jetpack_sharing_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.anabaptistbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/761","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.anabaptistbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.anabaptistbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.anabaptistbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.anabaptistbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=761"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.anabaptistbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/761\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.anabaptistbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=761"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.anabaptistbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=761"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.anabaptistbooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=761"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
