I have been premium for 2 weeks now. On the 15th of Feb I will pay for my 2nd month. i came in at rank 6247 & 3 weeks later I'm ranking 1277 as I write this blog. So where am I at & how did I get here? Assessment time!!
- I welcome all new Premium Members every day till I hit my message limit>
- I have writen 5 blogs thus far. roughly 1 a week.
- I responded to those who have commented on my blogs or thanked me welcoming them
- Completed Certification courses 1 & 2
- Started building out my website with content
- Participated in live chats
ontop of that I work a full time job form 3:30pm-11:00pm. I get my kids up everymorning for school starting at 5:30am. Full time husband & gigs with my band at least every other weekend. Whew!!!!!! I'm tired just typing all of this. which brings me to my point.
It's Ok To Take A Break.
Rome wasn't built in a day. All work & no play makes Franco a grumpy bear. I feel pretty good about my progress in 3 weeks. Sometimes you have to recharge your batteries, have some "ME TIME" and get a new perspective on things. You know what? It's ok!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow you are a busy man. I don't think I am that busy, but pretty close to it. I work on my website all day just tweaking it a bit, write content for my site once a day or longer depending on what I am writing. I try to get at least 4 posts every 2 days for my one website and 1 to 2 posts every other day for my new site (harder to write for that one) plus I do live chat here, help whenever I can, and post a blog here once in awhile. I am also a live chat operator for another company that I do for 8 hours a day 7 days a week (get paid very little for), and on top of that I have 3 children to take care of and a 4th child who has a child of her own that I help take care of while she tries to find work. I have also been here for 3 weeks. I am proud of my progress, but here lately I have been a little disappointed and feel that I am doing something wrong because I am not getting any traffic outside of WA. Think maybe I need a little break myself. lol!
Wow Franco. well done and good tips. I have been here about the same time as you and keep going off course as I find myself all over the place with so much information from topic to another. I need to have some structure.
Wow, that's a very inspirational story! You must be superman! How do you have the energy?! I have a problem with time management. Cause I can never find enough time in a day to do it all. Any tips since you're so awesome at it?
Good work and keep at it!
Thank you LizPB. I'm no superman, but I'm very driven. My father once told me "There is no such thing as good luck!!!! You make your own luck in this world" He also said "The brass ring ain't gonna come knocking on your front door. Why do you think you have to grab it"?
Both of these statements had & still have a profound influence on my life. I don't believe in handouts. I believe hard ethical work brings rich results. As far as time management goes, What works most for me is compartmentalizing my time in a 24 hour period. Your question on time management has inspired me to write my next blog on Time management so TY very much. i should have it posted in the next few hours. I'll explain how I do it and even lay out an average day for me so you can see how it works.
we started at premium almost the same time and so far am happy too with the progress am making just what you have listed is what we need to do to make a progress here well done its only that i haven't achieved my goal for the first month of premium otherwise i call it an achievement worth a reward.
There are so many reasons that you could let life get in the way, but you aren't accepting any! That's great! Yes, it is very good to take breaks and it's good you're realizing that early on. Good for you. You're off to a great start!
I really commend your effort, you've really encouraged me to put more effort and also to wake up to the real deal. It's a good example and challenge to new student like me.

Hey Franco, I understand completely! I take care of two toddlers and a new biting puppy. The girls are screaming all the time and that gets the puppy really wound up...oh my! It makes it hard to concentrate on what I am reading and the videos I try to watch. I have to stop the videos frequently to settle the chaos hahaha
I have my "me time" from 11:00 pm to 1:00am and it is very much needed!!
