What If I Start Getting Commissions?
Well, there is a lot to do, a lot to fix, and yet the business is hangry. I would like to take this time and prepare mentally and dream a little. Some role-playing won't hurt a soul or at least, I hope.
An investment of over $1000 this far and time in building the business into what it is today. Well, the first commissions start trickling in I was advised to not get carried away. To re-invest into the business as the are many needs.
Business Needs Vs Home Needs and Life Needs.
Everyone who thinks I am in a losing business needs to see that this is working and there is money to be made. Maybe give them a glimpse of the commissions as they come in. They might just want a taste of the fruit. Not a good idea. This is a business I don't have to show anyone until I am ready.
Our home is in a state and load-shedding has not made it any easy to not recognize. Homely comforts are in demand. Heaters proper ventilation, the roof is leaking and walls need paint.
Decisions, decisions! Planing can be useful at this time. My initial plan that I wrote four months ago won't work. I need a new plan and an inclusive plan. The home in distress will have to wait. PPC needs to be fed and E-mail marketing must start. Basic tools are still overdue, Grammarly, Jaaxy, Upgrading Primium Pro on WA.
Just a thought has revealed so many needs.
They are many and need consideration. The decision looks like it leans towards savings and seeding back into the business.
I hope I remember all this, as the commission starts trickling in.
- What have done with your initial commission to improve your life?
- Has it helped your business to grow?
- Has it improved your financial state?
Wow, that was scary to think of but exciting at the same time. I definitely need more planning.
- Have you made your plans?
- Do you need to reconsider?
Always thinking of how to navigate this life as an Affiliate Makerter. I wish you all the best in your first trickles of Commisions.

Hello my friend, Ntlhane!
Great article, my friend and I like your very advanced thinking and planning; sometimes it helps. I hope to balance it also because it makes us weak. I am also thinking about it, soon getting a commission. But I'm still young here; my site needs to arrange more; I am improving my site and upgrading; instead, I am focused, promote and have traffic, invite more visitors. If no visitors, no revenue for sure. It's time to think of other strategies for gaining traffic and more work. It's not yet the time for me, and I am not giving up; I feel we are near there. Please be patient.
I wish you a fruitful weekend, my friend, Ntlhane.
May God bless us! More blessings!
All the best,
Joyce
Business and personal planning go hand in hand. One without the other can prove disastrous. All too often self employment looks like a golden egg. As self employed business owners we need to take a good look at our economic reality and plan accordingly. Having a slush fund of at least 6 months reserve is critical in my opinion.
If borrowing is necessary write down how you will use the money and be strict about it. It’s a delicate balance.
Any business takes time to mature. Some grow faster than others. Planning the journey to include a rainy period will keep the furniture dry during the storm.
Best wishes for your continued success.
Thank you, Dan,
Something I can really use. You made it clear that we are the ones holding the keys to our own happiness. Unless we take our personal lives are as important as our business. You have just made it clear.

Hye Ntlhane,
Just keep focusing on building your business until the time comes to not focus so much.
Many people end up calling it a day because of obstacles that they put in front of them.
Don't be one of those!

Thank you, Mick, for your concern.
I hope I am not one of those! But for any Mission's success, you need a plan. Part of the plan includes being proactive, which requires roleplay and preempting the future.
I am building steadily, to put your mind at ease. I agree with you, focus is paramount, but sustained focus.
There should never be time to not focus so much, then what is the point of bounding only to lose focus at the end?
Thank you for taking the time to read.

Business comes first, reinvest wen you can.
Home needs just the necessities

Plans adjusted every now and then.
Wishing you a terrific weekend.
