A light bulb came on!!
Last night a light bulb came on. A few days ago I was doing some outbound call center QA work for a side job I am doing and I was speaking to this admissions counselor for school. As we were talking about my goals and such I was telling him about the concept from The Secret (never mentioned where I heard it from) but it was about the concept of thinking positive to receive positive energy back from the universe and he snagged right on to it. Then we started talking about the dream wall. For those that don't know, vision is key, you put up a dream wall of all the things you want, like if your goal is to buy a house you put up a picture, or if your goal is to make $10,000 to pay off a debt you would put that up. He started talking to me about his dream wall and how everything he put up has now come true. He has the job and salary he desired.
So that got me thinking, WOW that actually does work. I have been procrastinating so now I have my dream wall up as a daily reminder. I have already omitted anything negative from my life just so I am a more positive person. Powerful.
Last night I was watching Oprah's Master Class and Jay Z was on. For those that don't know who he is he is a self made millionaire who went from rap music to owning clothing lines and restaurants and the list goes on and is now married to the megastar Beyonce. But last night he said something that had me stop and think because I knew right off I was 100% guilty of it. Well actually he said a lot lol but this one thing stood out.
He was giving the definition of "flow" like in a song. You are into that moment, you are not thinking of doing it, you are just allowing yourself to be in the pocket of the music. He said "Not allowing yourself to be in the way of the flow". We have all heard or read those songs and blogs that just seem forced they are not flowing.
So I started thinking, I am guilty of that, I sit down at the computer and try and force myself to write or force myself to get my site the way I want it. I already have issues trying to get the thoughts in my head onto paper and it never looks the way I was thinking it in my head. I could never get into the "flow". Then what happens I have to redo everything because it is nothing like I wanted it, I made more of a mess then when I started lol.
So I made a promise to myself, I will continue to build my dream wall, to include money, signups and visitors. I will not force myself to sit down and write a blog post if I am not in the mood and risk sounding like a rambling loony toon, which I probably sound now LOL.
I just wanted to share these two things which I feel are pretty important to success. Being successful is totally up to you. It is a mindset that you have to put yourself into.

Small tip listening to the sound of your own voice will improve your speech, pronunciations, ecs. ecs. But ya I don't do it either.
Anyway the flow comes from years of training and you don't want to take that long before you are happy with your website. So try and, when you've done writing a page, rather ask a friend to read it and give their opinion. This way you can start your web and start making money. You always gone ad more to your web to keep it up to date so don't try to be TO Perfect in your web.
When people read your page they either gone be interested or not interested, doesn't matter what you wrote. They not gone be interested in how you got there or how perfect the page is as long as they can benefit from it!
So write what you believe and people WILL like it!
Good realization to have.
One technique that helps to get in the flow is to freewrite. It starts by just writing. You don't even need a topic or idea in mind. Just start writing, and eventually it can sometimes open the path to something you find you want to and can say. Keep a journal and do this for maybe five minutes a day, or every other day, or whenever your schedule allows. You will sound like a rambling maniac, but that's okay because no one will see it but you, and it can help you to focus and find your flow.
Keep at it, and I know you will be successful.
Thanks Iwienert that is a great idea. I will have to do that, I was thinking also recording my ideas on my iPhone as well and then transcribing them. Cause most of the time I start thinking of things when I have no paper around lol or I'm driving that is my real thinking time. I am going to keep a journel with me too that way i can just start writing, cause I need A LOT of practice LOL.
No problem Nikki, and whatever mode works for you. I personally can't stand the sound of my own voice when it's been recorded so I never do the record my thoughts thing, though I do recognize its value.
lol that is funny i really can't either (stand the sound of my own voice) but i am willing to get over it if it is going to push my success you know lol
