Weekly Plan Results - Starting 2014 Off Right!
I spent the last three months of 2013 learning the basics of Affiliate Marketing here at Wealthy Affiliate. With the changing of the year, I wrote out my goals and shared them in a blog here. After I came up with my goals I decided that I needed to come up with a plan on how I was going to achieve them. I wrote a post on my site about using a Weekly Plan and shared mine for the New Year.

What Have I Learned This Week
This week was all about getting started right for the new year and following a plan of attack. Having a plan for the week was very helpful to keep me working towards achieving my goals. I referenced it frequently, scribbled on it daily, and accomplished everything on the list by close of Saturday.
One theme that seemed to hit home this week is the Universe sending signs to help guide me. For example:
I was struggling finishing the content on my one post and decided to save it up and let it rest for the day. That night while hanging out with some friends, one struck up a conversation that mirrored the last paragraph I had written for that post. I paid close attention to what she had to say as I knew that is was happening for a reason.
Next Week Approaches
Sunday will be my day of rest and I will just do light activities with my business here. Monday morning will be here soon enough and I know my first task of the day will to be to flesh out my plan for the week.
I hope that everyone is off to a great start this year. If you need any help always feel free to ask me. I still have a lot to learn myself, but I am always willing to share what I already have learned.
Until next time, Keep Working It!

That's such a great plan you gave yourself. Very motivating! My plans has gone awry these last couple of weeks due to having a cold since the beginning of the new year but I'm not disheartened, still working towards my goals as much as possible.
I can understand that. I wen through some health stuff over the holidays too and all of that combined had me a bit askew too.
That's why I worked hard at coming up with annual goals and then a weekly plan to make sure that I was working towards those goals.
Don't worry you will bounce back, I am sure of it!
