The Writing Begins
Today I will begin writing my masterpiece. Well not so much a masterpiece as it will be a helpful guide in getting your own blog created and then getting it ranked highly by google and other search engines. But the point of this whole thing isn't about the contents of my guide. No it's how do I get it online and start making money with it.
However, before we can worry about getting it online we have to write it. Here is how I like to get started, and it's probably not any different that what your grammar school teacher taught you. Lets see if we can remember what that whole process was all about.
The ABC of Business
Ok, so I missed a day. Guess that means I’ll either need to double up today, or put something up really profound. I’ll go with doubling up; it seems to be the safest route to success and less embarrassment. Yesterday, I didn’t actually make a sale, or should I say I didn’t cash a check or receive any money. Instead I concentrated on generating a bigger pay off and lining up some work so that I would receive a check. There are two aspects to running a business and the juggling act between the two can be tricky. The majority of my time, while not at my day job or spending time with my family, is focused on money making activities. These activities can be broken down into two categories:
- Creating finished goods
- Lining up potentially new business
Expect the Unexpected
How many time have you heard expect the unexpected? I thought today was going to be one of those lazy Sundays where I would watch some football and play with the kids. Well that is what happened until I went to turn on my computer, and then BEEP BEEP..... BANG! Nothing. Yeah my computer crashed and I hadn't backed it up for a while. Which means, I lost EVERYTHING. All those contacts I was keeping, and all the detail information about customer and potentials is now gone.
2010 FAIL, 2011 WIN
As the posts on this site will show you, I didn't achieve a lot of the goals I set out to accomplish in 2010. In all the year wasn't a total waste. I did make some money outside of my current 9 - 5 job and I did establish key relationships, however I wasn't able to completely replace that income. The goal was always to be on my own running a business that I could not only make more money at, but spend more time with my family.
So here is to giving it another shot! This is what I'm going to do in 2011 to continue the dream of quiting my job and running on my own.
New Year New Motivation
The new year is here, the parties have past and the bills have started to arrive. If you aren't motivated by this point, then you might want to check your pulse to see if you are alive or not. I can say for sure that I'm more motivated than ever to make this year a success and hit the ground running in 2011.
In order to do so I needed to get a bunch of things in order, and I have decided to take a different approach than I had taken in years past. Although I can't say that I've been unsuccessful in the past, I feel there is room for improvement, and heck, change is good right.
This time around I've put down the goals for 2011 and spoke about how I have "initially" thought to achieve them.
