I've been off to a slow start in the first week of the new year.
Been a bit under the weather, and just a little out of sync.
So I kind of lost a grip on my week's "blueprint."
I got all my regular work done...
my coaching calls, my blogging and that sort of thing.
But I had some new projects to get started this week that I just didn't even think about.
Now, what do I do when this happens?
I focused on one thing.
Just one.
It's an information product I'm about to release.
It's not a major undertaking, but something I had half done on the back burner from late last year.
I couldn't spin in all the directions I usually do, so I just stayed focused on one thing, and I completed it.
At least the "creative" part.
Now, I've just got to put together the sales page and funnel and it will be ready to market by this time next week.
Even when things aren't going just the way you'd like...
I'm sure you can find something meaningful to complete and feel a lot better about yourself.
Don't let your business or your progress ever stop.
It can slow down, but make it meaningful and be productive anyway.
How was your first week of 2016?
Have a great weekend, and as usual, take a moment to let me know how your Friday blueprint is shaping up this week.
Hit the Reply and tell me what's happening with you :))
Talk soon,

-Donna & David- Whirlwind Success ================== >> ==> 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
