When the holidays
roll around there
are so many mixed
emotions.
So many choices to
make.
Running our own
business as solopreneurs
and making merry
can cause conflict.
It can certainly
make you lose focus.
It can even make
you lose your head.
So, today's Friday
Focus Group is
dedicated to keeping
your head in the
game, when it wants
to go everywhere else.
Here is my advice to
you my dear friends.
Whether or not you
are celebrating this
holiday season, many
people are on a break.
You deserve a break too.
No matter if you have
kids and have to play
Santa, or if you are
hosting a family
gathering or if you are
traveling, or not any
part of a celebration…
the world all around
you is in holiday mode.
That means, among other
things that emotions
are running high.
That's when we tend
to lose our heads and
get overtaken by emotion.
People are on the
roads scurrying around
like squirrels to get
from one place to another.
Airports are clogged
with holiday travelers.
And the internet is
effected by all this
hustle bustle too.
Not many people will
be working as diligently
this time of year as usual.
So take some time off
from work as usual.
But still keep your
head in the game.
Whether you celebrate
or not…
Start planning for
your year ahead.
By now you know I’m
big when it comes to
blueprints, only because
they do work!
If you can get away
and find a peaceful
place, start by closing
your eyes and relaxing.
Relax your body…your mind.
Feel yourself being clear.
Then start writing lists.
These lists can be worked
into your blueprint...
your plans for your big
business breakthrough in
the upcoming year... 2016.
Start with this abstract:
write down things that you
can imagine for yourself.
I am living ____________
I am so comfortable with money
flowing in that I’m going
to ________________
I am peaceful
because ____________
I have the perfect
_______________
I see and feel all the
people I am coaching
to achieve ___________
My business is prospering
because I _______________
Get the point?
Use your imagination and
of course use the “I Am”
Now break this all down.
Here is an example:
Start backwards.
By December of next year
this is my ultimate goal
in business ______________
Then break it down in months:
In January I have to write
4 blog posts, 16 emails,
10 videos, etc.
This can be anything.
Just start writing.
Break it down in weeks:
Each week I need
to _______________
Break it down in days:
Monday I must do this
_____________________
Tuesday _____________
etc
Don’t forget to leave
a day for YOU :)
Now break it down
into hours:
At 9 A.M. ___________
At 10 A.m.___________
And so on…

================== >>
==> Here's what my
"Friday Focus Group"
is all about.
================== >>
This is not a "group"
in the official sense.
I didn't wake up and
say "I think I'll start
this thing..."
But I've been talking
some lately about how
I use Friday as a focus
day.
I create my Blueprint for
the next week each Friday.
Then, starting Monday
morning, I know exactly
what I've got to do in
order to accomplish my
goals for the week.
On a larger scale, I see
my weekly goals as baby
steps toward achieving
my "Big Goal".
I usually set a "Big Goal"
as a 6 to 8 week goal that
I really want to reach.
That, of course, is a milestone
toward achieving my big, big,
big goal... operating a
successful online business.
Now, to operate a successful
online business, it is necessary
to constantly strive to reach
my "Big Goals."
So you see, it's all too big
to do unless I put all my focus
on one week at a time.
That's what my Friday Blueprint
is for.
It keeps me from developing a
"wandering eye" or "jumping
the fence" for each new thing
that looks intriguing or easy.
==> Here's the thing.
I'm rambling.
Let me stop and tell you what
this email is about.
Lots of folks who are on my
email list = thanks for your
loyalty :) =
Lot of folks on my list have
been replying to my emails to
tell me about their goals and
their own "Friday Blueprints."
Then they follow up and tell
me how it's progressing.
A few people have been doing
this every single Friday.
They tell me their goals for
the next week one Friday.
The next Friday, they report
back and tell me how they did,
plus... what their new Blueprint
is for the next week.
So they've kind of established
an accountability relationship
with me right from this email
list.
And I've seen them grow through
doing this, plus, I give some
feedback from time to time.
(Hey! I usually charge for my
email coaching, so you get a
little freebie here for being
my loyal sub, heehee)
That's it, really.
You wanna play?
Just reply to any of my Friday
emails and tell me what your
Blueprint is for next week.
Then, make yourself accountable
to me (and to yourself)... by
letting me know how you made out
with it, where you slacked off,
where you exceeded your goals,
etc.
Nothing formal.
Nothing to sign up for.
Just do it!
I'll be happy to be your support
and accountability partner.
Send me your Friday Blueprint
right now.
I love my weekend reading :)
Talk soon,
Donna
