I hope you have a wonderful holiday season.
My husband Christen and I spent a few days out in the desert at
our favorite getaway in Desert Hot Springs-no phones, no
computers, no stress-just warm mineral pools, massages, and sun.
Can you believe it, I was sunbathing in January! It was just
what the doctor ordered!
I also spent some more time really thinking
about the new year and what I want to do differently this year
as well as what my goals are for the year.
One of the biggest things I realized was
that I wasn’t doing enough of the things that really make me
happy and that I was getting caught up in the Internet version
of keeping up with the Jones's instead of focusing on my quality
of life which was starting to suffer.
I was doing well but working much too hard. My passive income increased
400%, and my business increased 57% but it will still be
some time before I get it where I want it. Then I
saw an article in the newspaper and it asked how much do
entrepreneurs work? The answer was "All the time". And I
decided that was UNACCEPTABLE!
So I came to the conclusion that if I
wanted to grow my business AND keep my sanity the only thing
that made sense to me was to create teams for specific projects,
have more projects going at a time, but without me doing the
work and making sure that each project gets fully monetized
before creating something new-which is exactly what I tell my
clients (and is really difficult for me because I love to
create!)
(If you're wondering how to get people to
want to join your team the answer is WRITE AN EBOOK! Become an
expert let people know about you and they will WANT to work with
you!)
And I want you to know that when you find
the right people working in teams is a kick! That's what Jeff
Herring and I do with Articles to eBooks and it's a blast!
People are getting so much value from the club, and it’s much
less pressure and work than doing it alone.
Also, it's much
more successful too because two people are sharing their
expertise instead of one and both are doing the marketing so I
really encourage you to find partners that compliment you and
whom you enjoy working with!
So, in a nutshell my plan is to have more fun,
partner more, work on the projects that really excite me, work
less and enjoy it more and continue to do everything in my power
to teach people how to be creative and financially independent
by learning how to write and market ebooks!
What about you? I hope you'll spend some
time really designing your plan for the year to support the life
you really want and deserve and that you will continue to
let me be there with you to
help you on your journey!
And I want to thank all of you who have
written me to tell me how much you appreciate the work I do and
how I have supported you. It means a lot to me.
