I posted last week on mental energy drains and how they have been affecting me. For the record there are quite a few posts I make that get post-dated quite a bit. I want to make sure that none are associated with anyone unless I actually specify a person.
I’d like to do an update on last weeks post as it was definitely a turning point in my summer. It also took me much longer to recover my mojo than ever before. But then again, I’ve never …

Ever since Kelly McCausey put up her post about mixed priorities, I’ve been doing some serious thinking. Reading the post has really stuck in my head. I know when this is the case then there is something going on and I have been ignoring it or just too busy to focus correctly.
It’s a little of both in this case. I’ve been ignoring how much energy a project is taking over everything else. Not in a good way, it’s taking more energy than it’s worth and much …

Yes, there seems to be a theme to this week. My kids start school again on the 1st, but of course we are quickly getting into back-to-school mode. My daughter is already at soccer tryouts/practice and we’re getting up in the mornings again. I can feel a routine starting and I don’t think any of you can understand how much it pains me to admit…but I’m looking forward to some structure.
One thing I’m already on my way to controlling is my social media. I’m hiding out …

So how has your summer been? Busy? Working a lot? Playing with family? Did you get everything done for everyone online and off? WAS THERE HOPE OF THAT HAPPENING?!!!
Yep, the guilt. I (and you as well) can’t do everything for everyone offline and in your business. It won’t happen. It will never happen. I can’t spend quality family time and be on my computer at the same time and expect 100% of my attention to be on both. Is that …

#1 – Chart your goals. Keeping track of your goals is important. You may want to start by charting down all of your goals in one place …

Setting a work schedule is very important for being productive and using your time effectively. There have been many weeks that I had more time to work without interruption and sadly I actually got less done. The busier my schedule is the more I will get done as I find that I schedule down to the last detail because I have to.
This is going to be especially key for me to get work done this summer when the kids are home. I have just a couple of …

Always a learning experience, did some right, did some the hard way, and will completely revamp some things. lol
But numbers, you want numbers right?
I didn’t hit the $500. However, with the extra marketing and pushing I have one other VA client that will be signing up June 1st, but until that money is exchanged I can’t count it towards my goal. That client would put me at $473 extra from this challenge. So my true number was $378 in extra income for the 15 days. But …

You can check out the original post for my 15 Day goal here. I’m in the middle of day 6 and so far it’s been an extra $140 earned out of the $500 goal. Not bad, but not where I need to be. Let’s review.
