Pushing Myself To Make It Happen.
Posted by: | Comments
They say anything worth doing is worth doing right. Who are they anyway? No seriously, I have been challenging myself to venture into a place I have never been before. The world of PLR writing.
I have dreams and goals that I want to accomplish so this is an absolute necessity if I want to make it happen. Key words, I want. No one else is going to and no one can make this happen for me.
The same applies to you and your dreams. For me it could be setting my PLR writing shop up just the way I want it and having a grand opening and for you it could be something else.
Or it could be losing all of the weight that I am tired of carrying around. I have a long term goal of wanting to be able to purchase clothing without having to go to a plus sized store.
I have more than one dream that I intend to accomplish. Don’t feel that you can only have one dream. It’s not true, it just takes proper planning.
However, no matter what your dream is no matter how small or how big, there is something that it has in common with my dreams.
1. It needs a plan. Without a plan you will be hither and thither running around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to figure out what it is you should be doing to make your dream work. Plan your work and work your plan.
A very simple concept that many, including myself at times, overlook.
2. Your plan needs to be implemented by being put to action. Without action, your dream is at a complete standstill and no more important than any other thought that flutters through your brain without a second thought.
3. Persistence is very necessary. Even with a plan and putting that plan to action, there is no guarantee that your dream will come to full achievement within a minute, day, week, month or even a year.
While we have high hopes for our dreams it is only through planning, action and being persistent that we truly make it happen.
When we let frustration take over and eventually let it break us down and stop us, it leads us right into failure.
How many people have you observed that started something only to give it up a month or two later. If you aren’t in it for the long haul you might as well forget it.
Tough times come and we need to be just as tough or strong if we want to keep a firm grasp on what we have or it will blow away from us if we open up our hand wide enough to let it go.
I am determined to make it happen. It may not happen overnight but I will work hard towards my dreams. What are your dreams and what are you doing to make it happen?
Don’t Put It Off Until Tomorrow
Posted by: | CommentsHow many times have you had bright ideas that had you gung ho, running wild with excitement? You just knew that you were going to accomplish it only to see several months down the road that you did nothing about it.
Ideas don’t make money no matter how great or important they are, it is the implementing of ideas that bring in money. Last year I wanted to get involved with PLR writing (Private Label Rights). I bought and took a course on how to write PLR. I’m naturally inclined towards writing anyway so this should have been easy for me.
I purchased a domain and hosting and then got busy doing everything except for what I really wanted to do. I procrastinated in the worst way because all of my ideas just sat there lonely like a stray cat in an alley waiting for someone to give it a home.
I let other things get in the way without setting any time aside to get my PLR shop up and running. I run a social network, traffic exchange and a host of other websites. I also felt a little fear about starting a new adventure since I have never ran this type of business before.
Procrastination and fears don’t earn you any money but actions can. Even the best intentions mean nothing unless they are carried out.
I decided that it was time for me to get my ideas out of my head and onto my website. I have been working on my shop and I’m really excited. You can check it out at http://shopforplr.com.
Are there things that you have been meaning to do but somehow you let other things get in the way? Try setting aside a specified amount of time just for the task that you have been avoiding or putting off and little by little you accomplish it.
Sometimes we need to just sit and think, evaluate how our business or business are going. If it is not what you hoped it would be, devise a workable plan that can fit into your schedule. See where you can cut out or drastically reduce time in other not so important areas.
Set realistic goals or mini goals for yourself so you are not easily disappointed which can cause you to want to give up. As much as we might want it to be, things are rarely perfect. Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill when problems arise.
Roll with the punches. Focus on what you can do and not on what you can’t do. Research and learn from those knowledgeable in the areas that are troubling to you.
It can be a real challenge when embarking on a new journey. You know what you want to accomplish but you are not exactly sure how it will turn out. If you follow your dreams through it can turn out to be really rewarding when you reap the benefits later on.
Start small and build up to investing more time. This is working for me. I see now that I could have fit what I’m doing now into my schedule.
Right now my children’s homeschooling year is over for the summer break so I am taking advantage of the extra time. Better late than never though.
Don’t put it off until tomorrow if you can do something towards it today. You can’t reach your goals of winning the race if you aren’t even on the track.
To your success,
Alice Coaxum
