The Missing Link
Do you ever feel totally overwhelmed? There seems to be so much to do and so little time to get your business and your life on track towards success. Well I was feeling a bit like that this weekend. I put it down to the fact that I hadn't been very well for a few days and tried to shrug it off.
Having a lot of blogs and a lot of followers and a lot of ideas, even dare I say it a lot of knowledge doesn't necessarily lead to sales. I mean to follow all the trainings, do daily FB lives and videos and blogs and create graphics and landing pages. I want to make webinars and digital courses and create value for my followers on a daily basis, So how can I possibly find the time to do all that needs to be done to make progress?
You may have heard of "daily disciplines" and if you haven't I suggest you Google them. I have realized for a long time that the things you do on a daily basis are important - but somehow their importance never really "sank in" to the extent it should have.
Now here's the aha moment - someone who is very successful herself recommended a book. She said that it changed her life and I thought - "oh yes - here we go again", but I bought it and started reading it this weekend and I can honestly say I believe that for me it is the missing link.
It's called "The Slight Edge" and I have found it to be truly amazing. I am definitely embedding it into my life from today and I'll let you know if it works for me. It's not an instant solution, but it does get rid of the overwhelm and builds momentum towards your dreams. I think it is amazing.

Hi, Hilary.
I'm so glad that you said that the 'The Slight Edge' is not an instant solution.
Words of wisdom work differently for different people.
Daily Disciplines also come in different shapes and sizes for the different shapes and sizes of people.
I find it helpful to continue to rebirth my goals i.e. looking over and tweaking my goals, mission and aspirations that I have put down on the Internet through my writing.
Most times it's just a word here or a word there, or a sentence structure change or the addition of a completely new one.
What this does for me is that it reaffirms my original stand for what I set out to do.
Nice post.
Thank you for sharing.
