    Getting on the Court and Taking Action

    EXECUTION 
    Checking back in to acknowledge I haven't taken action as I said I would. I returned to my old ways of procrastination and action-faking. This has wasted time and delayed any entry to the fastlane. To develop the discipline and habits required to create the life I want I needed to take new and...

    NMdad, Thank you for your post. In response to your questions: Do you mean for business? I want to show them examples of my work. Although I've used WordPress for several years, the websites I've created have been standard. The first custom example I'm working on is my Toastmasters club's...

    Getting on the Court and Taking Action

    EXECUTION 
    My last week wasn't very productive and I didn't get done what I stated. On Friday, instead of doing the same thing and expecting a different result I decided to make some changes. Previously I've been doing The Miracle Morning's SAVERS with waning impact. On Saturday I went for a run first and...

    Advice Wanted; How Should I Respond to This?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Thank you for your wise advice! In my original cover letter I also asked an unrelated question which they didn't answer. They wrote in their offer that they will publish the copy first to check its originality using an online plagiarism tool. I'm inclined to believe their intent is not...

    Bekit, Wow, thank you for your extremely helpful advice! It was 4,500 total for website design, maintenance and lead generation. The client required copy that passed Copyscape.
