Plan of Attack.
When I got into this I thought I knew how much time I could devote to it. I thought I knew what I wanted to do and how to get there. As I approach almost two months in this program I realized that my expectations for myself and my business weren't what they needed to be.
Like most of us starting out we have our day to day life. Work, Family and a plethora of responsibilities. I found myself sitting at the computer after a shift just trying to stay awake long enough to get through the training. Then at the end of a long work week when you feel undervalued and beat down (a reason why I started the program) I had similar issues on the weekend trying to get into the training.
I had been trying to get in where I fit in as they say. Finally, after this past week of only spending a couple of hours in the business (and not all productively) I had conversation with my wife. We needed a plan of attack.
My wife is an awesome person and she has been on board with this from the start. We sat down and carved out specific times when I would work on the business. She reassured me her confidence that it will all be worth it. This agreement had to come with some hard sacrifices. Just as when I wrote my novel last year, I had to sacrifice some things. The hardest of all is time with family. I spend most of their conscious hours away at work, so when I get home I try to get as much time with them as I can.
Then I got a message from my mentor. Telling me once again that I have to do the work! It was a hard message at first, because in my mind I work hard. I work so my family can live. This comes with a heavy burden, and there needs to be a change.
This post is for people out there like me (I can't be the only one) who are exhausted at the end of the day and still are trying to balance life. I needed a plan of attack and a mental adjusment. My life depends on it and this community can help execute that plan. So here's to my next 30 days being monumentally more productive than my first 60. Love, Peace, and Blessings to all.

Do what you can, when you can and don't be too hard on yourself. I can often only get to my WA work after 10pm at night and sit here sometimes nodding off, recently I have managed more time as work on the farm is quiet over winter. I am making the most of it. I would suggest that you get straight into the training every time you come online and forget about everything else. Get tunnel vision. You are lucky to have such a supportive wife, you will get there, Have a great day, Denise.

You do what you can with the time and the
life you have. Don't judge yourself too hard.
You will get there at your own pace.
Have a wonderful day!
