Don't Forget to Work for The Future While You Are Working in the Present.
It happens to us every year about this time....LOTS OF BUSINESS! Paychecks. Moola.
Get those signs in the ground. Put the locks on the doors. Create those pamphlets. Hold those open houses. etc.
And then...........we forget to do the follow-up with 'potential' clients. We're too busy with what's happening NOW. Let me ask you? What about 90days from today, tomorrow, the next day? Are you going to need business then also? I think we do.
The lesson here is simple. Work on your future EVERY DAY, no matter what. As a matter of fact, that's what I took a break from to write this.
BACK TO THE FUTURE!!!

What Are You Doing to Push Yourself Higher?
I've been wondering for awhile what it would take to push myself into areas that I've been more or less just dreaming about. You know what I mean....be a LOT better in a particular area; achieve higher than than you dared dream.
So have I. I've worked at it but haven't gotten there by myself. So I've decided to do something about it. I hired a particular coach--I'll call him Mike--to push me like I've never been pushed before. I have achievements I'm tired of not reaching certain heights.
Mike has instructions from me to not let me have any excuses, none.
I have to tell you...it scares the begeezus out of me, and excites me!!

Let's Get the 'Can't' Out of Our Language & Thoughts
Seems like, waaaaay too often, when I tell someone how I accomplished something (big or small) the immediate words out of their mouth is "I can't do that".
Anyone else notice this? What is my reaction? I tend to shut up, walk away, and look for those who say "I'm going to do that". And it has nothing to do with me being smarter than they. What it has to do with is 'time', my time, and how I choose to give it.
I decided years ago to quit giving my time to people who don't take me or themselves seriously. I decided that my time has value and I don't want to waste it.
On the other hand, anyone who really wants help has my undivided attention.
Which person are you?
There has been such an overwhelming response about yesterday's blog, would you like more details about how I'm building mine?
How I Started My Divorce Niche.
2.5 years ago I lay in the hospital bed recovering from cancer. I started thinking about the fact that I probably needed to change the way I was going to be doing business in the future. I decided two things: increase my online prescence and find a niche market that no one else was doing.
These are the steps (line of thinking) that led me into my niche:
These are the three main thoughts that ran through my head. And suddenly, the word Divorce came to mind. I had been divorced twice; my parents and both sons were divorced. No one else I could find in research was filling this void. Then I found that I could be certified. It's funny, but the minute I said the word divorce, I KNEW that I had finally found that one thing we all wish we could find--that one thing that needs to be filled.
It has taken two years of hard, focused work; but the results are starting to pour in.
