I want to share with you one of the better investments I have made for my online business.

Coaching with Carrie Lauth. I spent 30 minutes on the phone going over my business and sites. She gave me honest feedback and suggestions on how to change things around.

30 minutes, half an hour. that was it. I took 4 notebook pages of notes. She really inspired me. She gave me new ideas for things I had never thought of. She gave me new ideas on how to approach old problems. I have to tell you that was one of the most informative 30 minutes I have spent. I can’t imagine how much I would have gotten out of 60 minutes with her!

Carrie knows her stuff. She knows how to put it into action words that you can grasp and understand. When I got off the phone with her I was inspired. I have to admit that I was more inspired with my online ventures than I have been in a long time.

I have just moved and want to start out this new life in a positive manner. With Carrie’s coaching I really feel that I will reach my goals.

If you need a coach that gets you, that explains things on your level, go with Carrie Lauth. She has coaching and email follow-ups. I know I am planning on another coaching session in a month for more of her great help.

Thanks Carrie!

Ever have one of those days? I really have to move my desk. As it sits right now I get to look out the window. I have to be honest and tell you that is a bit distracting. It’s gorgeous out there, and I just want to find an activity that leads me outside to play. The outside seems to call to me, write later, come out and play now.

That would be easy, but the temptation is to play now and then play later as well. Finding a routine is essential if you are a WAHM. Now I know we became WAHMs because of the flexibility, but … sometimes we need routines too. Routines help us to get things done. They help us meet our goals and accomplish what we set out to every morning.

So it is time for me to move my desk. It’s time for me to establish a new routine for my new home. It’s time for me to get up and get moving, in the writing sense. Time for me to establish some daily writing goals.

RIght now I am working on some PLR packets. These are kind of fun. I have some great articles coming out that will have summer time themes that will work well for fall as well. I love these kind of themes. I get to play on my education as an aromatherapist and a nutritional counselor. That makes life so grand. I get to write about what I love. That should inspire me to write huh?

Have a great day. Remember Routines are GOOD!

I promise I will not tell you that my motivation is to get all the boxes out of my house. Though I will warn you that is part of what inspires me for my motivation this morning.

It’s Monday and to be honest I tried working some of last week and Saturday and I just had such a hard time getting focused. It would sit down and the words just wouldn’t come. I had so much to do around the house, that I almost felt guilty when I was sitting down to work.

But …  work didn’t get done cause I felt guilty. Boxes didn’t get unpacked because I felt guilty I wasn’t working. It was just a viscous cycle. No matter what I did or didn’t do, it seemed I couldn’t win.

Yesterday I hit on the solution. I got about 10 boxes unpacked and put away. I wrote 5 articles and re-wrote part of Tranquintity. What turned the tide?

Well it was kinda easy, but kinda complicated.

Yesterday morning I just sat down and forced myself to write.

That’s right, I just did it. I just sat down and wrote. Now I really felt that the first thing I wrote was not quality at all, but I went back and edited and it wasn’t shabby after that.

After that first article I felt like I could write another. That felt pretty good. So I decided to take a break and tackle a box. And what do you know there went two dish packs hardly no effort at all.

That is how I spent the rest of my Sunday. An article, a box and so on. I managed to get a lot done.

What motivated me? Just the fact that if I  sat down to do it, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Once I started on the task I felt a whole lot better. Once the task was finished I felt accomplished!

Do you have something that you just can’t seem to get started. Something always getting in your way? Something you know you have to get done? Maybe several task that are sitting there lurking in your inbox making faces at you?

My advice this Monday is to just do it. Sit down and spend just 5 minutes actually working on it. Soon that 5 minutes will turn in to an accomplished project! I know you can!
