Thank you to be honest, Paul

Hello Paul - you say you attended two live trainings. I suppose you mean the 0 to 10k traffic training with Pinterest. Did you catch up watching the earlier ones?

I watched the first one and am half-way through the second one. I took quite a long time thinking about a topic - a Pinterest interest - and have now come up with an idea for a website and even a domain name. I'll be thinking about that for another day or two and start writing a blog or two for it before buying the domain.

You are very high up on the Leaderboard, which will mean a good payout at the end of the month - so, if that is important to you, then you are doing well. But to build your own business, I think you should set aside a time of day when you can't be so focused because of family and use that time for blog reading and replying to comments. If you keep replying as soon as a new comment or blog comes in, you'll never get much of your own work done.

For you, making this work is really important. I wish you a productive week.

God bless.

Hey Paul.
My week was normal, very normal. I'm still in the development zone. However, one of things I do (well a couple of things) is I don't set hard deadlines. I have what I call lazy days, off days, even days that unusual things happen (like a police roadblock that takes up 3 hours of time)

All my deadlines are floating deadlines, because shi(r)t happens,

The second thing I do is to forgive myself when I fall short (Human League song says 'I'm only human'). I just move on.
Just saying ^_^ Cheers

We all have off days, weeks, etc, Paul. Last weekend the kitchen sink backed up on us. My uncle and I worked on it, Dad finally said call a plumber, and it got fixed Tuesday, I think. The rest of the week has been spent cleaning up and washing dishes and trying to be here, waiting to hear from Site Support, and taking care of Dad.

But it sounds like you're getting back to it.

You win some you lose some. Not every week is going to be a productive one. The main thing is we stay focused on our goals and what we want to achieve.
It's no good beating ourselves up when we have a non productive week. We can't change the past, but we can definitely make better decisions for the future.

Keep going. You are on the right path.
