Thread: Did you take one step?

Been working on getting my site tweeked today. I even hired a seasoned developer in China to bang it out.

I sure did, signed up for 2 different chapters of toast masters and sent in for my application to the National Speakers Association.

Tada!

What did you guys do?

oh, and I did two speeches today to middle schoolers... and worked on the blog a little... and wrote down more things for my new speeches I'm creating... and taught classes all day... and... well, you get the idea!

Hey so did I! I didn't actually like the chapter I attended so I'm still searching for one. The ones around here meet at 6AM in the morning and ya'll know how I feel about early mornings!!


Congrats on the power effort!!

I started learning more about Keyword search applications.

I did, I researched all afternoon yesterday about SEO and keyword application. Today I'm designing my website and going to try to get it published and up and running.

Dude, you would love this second one I signed up for. "Toastmaster's Comedy Club" !!!

Regular toastmaster rules with comedy routines and funny speeches! Haven't gone yet, next one is in two weeks. I'm super excited!

Looked at a possible SFH investment for Jessica and I here. Spent a late night up reading "The Success Principles".

worked on my sites and my book today. This week has been the most productive of the year so far.

I use this technique. I do at least one thing EVERYDAY to get me closer to my goals.

Then I add: LEARN one new thing everyday.

Today I wrote some articles and added content to some sites. I learned about adding sample content to sites for testing and design purposes.

There are a lot of things I want to make my goals but I think my goal for tomorrow is going to be to pick one and focus on it for a week.

ANY action is better than NO action.

I know a lot of people here would disagree with me, but I have found having a partner in my ventures to be one of the best ways to keep me moving forward. I am constantly bouncing off ideas from him, meeting at lunch to talk over stuff, etc. I honestly think that the issue of distraction in other directions and other business ideas would have kept me from moving forward if I didn't have a partner in my current business. Different strokes for different folks

I do better in a group or partner plan as well. what is important is recognizing what works for you and moving forward with it.

We (husband and I) are getting back into the swing of things. We have a Cash Flow group but stopped hosting games ourselves for about two years due to life circumstances but are getting back into it. We were having a conversation with Greg and Cynthia at the B&P about meeting with like-minded people and I was thinking, I have a group of almost 400 people that I am not utilizing. How many connections that could have helped us have I missed???

So we are looking for new spaces, meeting with the other organizers, attending the games they host and letting our current connections know we're still here! As a result, we were asked to be on a panel later this month to share our real estate experience.

Today? Lots! Not enough hours for certain things I wish I could do, but here are todays:

-Finished practice 1 of 3 for soccer today. 45 minutes until the next. (not business, but for a life goal!)

-Wrote a few pages for a book I will hopefully release before the years end. May only be an e-book, but it's a start.

-Jotted down the notes for a few articles I want to post on my blog for soccer training. Before the days end I'll finish one to post. I tend to get ideas while I practice and by the time I get back I forgot so I take a notebook just to jot something down to remember it.

-Not today, but yesterday posted my first video to help someone with their soccer training. It's significant because I realized that I went from a shy kid who literally was scared to even say "hi" to strangers to posting a video of me talking that the whole world could potentially see (not that this particular video is interesting enough, haha). So in essence I've finally (after many months!) tackled my biggest fear in "socializing".

It continues to surprise me how much more fulfilling a day feels when I do stuff I don't quite feel like in replaces of "quick fixes". I've spent too much time just browsing facebook, reddit, etc, and while I'm "happy" doing it I almost 100% of the time feel like I wasted the day before sleeping. Lets hope this keeps up because it at the very least has me doing something productive each day.

Greatest labor saving device ever invented is tomorrow!
