Paying it Forward - my thoughts

Several things in the past few weeks have made me stop and think.

Recently I have been blessed when I spoke up and kind of asked for something. Most people out there are amazingly giving. This morning I turned on the news to see that Rush Limbaugh had given a women caller in Kerrville, TX a car. Now while I or this women didn’t directly come out and ask for something, we did speak up and say something. I have posted about Trevor Crook and how he blessed me with an opportunity to take his Persuasive Writing Sells Course.

But last night I was amazed at a couple of things.

I offered on Facebook to write 3 articles for anyone who commented on my note. I got one reply. Now either that says something about my writing, or it says that people don’t read notes, or that they didn’t beleive I would give it away, or a combination of all of those.

Now granted, not everyone needs articles. But on my facebook list there are a ton of internet marketers trying to get ahead. These are the people who are always saying they want articles. That it is the content that runs their sites and gets there traffic. Well guys if you want there are still two more free articles out there to grab! (update there is now just one left)

My point is this. There are great people out there willing to help. They may not just buy you a $58,000 car, but I am willing to bet, if you are willing to ask, or take them up on a great offer, that they are willing to help you out in ways that you will both benefit!

My last little notice? If you are not friends on facebook with Trevor Crook, I would run, not walk and make friends. He is offering  20 lucky facebook friends 1 on 1 mentoring. There was still spaces open as I write this. Are people crazy? Someone offers you help and you don’t take it?

Offer of yourself. Offer of your knowledge and what you have learned. You may think you have nothing to give, but you would be surprised at what you have that others may need.

And on another note, remember you don’t get anything if you don’t speak up. No one is even going to notice you if you sit in the corner. If you have a need ask around. You never know who will step up to the plate to help you out.

The one thing in this life that we need to remember is that we get what we put into in it. Giving of ourselves is a way of returning the favors that we have received. You are going to be receiving many more favors in the future, I am SURE of it, so why not start now at paying it forward?

Evaluating my bottom line for October

It’s Halloween. I love Halloween. It’s just my kinda season.

But it is also October 31st. That means it is time to sit down and evaluate where I have been this month and where I want to be next month.

I have gotten quite a bit accomplished this month. I have to say as well it has been the highest earning month I have had online so far.

That being said it has been a hard and very busy month. November is looking to be just as busy. So what shall we do about that?

The key to writing online I think can be summed up in just one word … organization.

The more organized I am the more I see the return in my bottom line.

Pretty neat observation isn’t it?

Take a look at your bottom line. Doesn’t matter if you write like me, or if you do something else. I challenge you to take November and really work on your organization. I am betting that the more organized you get the more YOUR bottom line will be as well.

Where has October gone?

I know I have been a bad bad blogger here haven’t I? Well in truth I have been really busy, honest!

I took on a new writing project. I am writing e-books for a business. Now I know you are saying, “but Judi, you could be writing these for yourself!” But I am learning so much about the whole writing processes when it comes to writing something that is book length. It isn’t as easy as it sounds. It is taking me a lot of time to get used to writing these.

Second I have stepped off the ladder and started a Mommy Blog, Judi style of course. Take a peak over at WAHM of Course All this time I have been online I have never really ever blogged about my kids. I have always liked to keep that part of my life separate. But they are such a large part of my life and why I work at home, that I have come to this great blog where I can share and even vent about being a work at home mom. I hope you enjoy!

The next project is I have jumped into Kelly’s 42 day Launch Incubator. I am enlisting her help at launching an info project in 42 days. Curious as to what it will be? Take a look at Natural From Home and you may just get a bit of a hint. It’s going to be a great 42 days and I am just soooo geared up and ready to go for this!!!

November 1st also marks the first day of NaNoWriMo!!! Take a look at my NaNoWriMo Page I appreciate all the supporters I get. I am not expecting to make the NYTimes best seller list, but I am going to accomplish great things like winning, which means finishing the novel in a month.

I will also be moving my main writing site as well. I am working on getting the domain up and going. I feel as if this should be my over all site, after all it has my name. Here I can toot my own horn on all my projects. This is my attempt at getting my online life and business organized.

I am realizing that organization is really important to my online ventures. And yes that is what I am calling them now. I want to have a more porfessional appearance and this is the way I am going to do it. What do you think?

Oh and I forgot to add I am now writing for Moms in a Blog! I will find a button to put up here. Look under the Moms living green section. Enjoy!
