What did you learn this week?
How much time did you spend on social media sites?
How much time did you spend reading news and magazine sites/blogs?
How much time did you spend reading your emails?
How much time did you spend creating some kind of content that will directly contribute to you making profits?
By "content" I mean a video, article, sales page, squeeze page, or something else that will actually bring you some income.
I think that if you seriously sit down and write these things out, you'll notice something.
You'll probably see that you spent a fair amount of time consuming information, hanging out on social media sites, looking at news and entertainment sites, and reading your emails.
In fact, if you're like the vast majority of people "working" online, blogging, affiliate marketing, running some kind of online business...
if you're like most people, you probably spend no more than 10% of your time doing things that are actually going to help you make a profit.
You see, I coach people to build an online business, something that can help them gain a level of financial freedom they've never known...
something than can help them ditch the day job.
I push hard to get them to be productive.
That means, to produce something that they can earn a living from.
If you spend the next 6 months chatting with friends of Facebook and reading the hottest Yahoo News stories, you won't be any closer to achieving your dreams than you are right now.
I have dreams too.
I spend 75% of my time doing productive things like writing a sales page or putting together a training that I'll eventually stick a Buy Now button on.
I keep producing.
Day after day.
Hour after hour.
That's because I have dreams, too.
They may be different dreams than you.
But what all dreams have in common is this.
They all begin today.
It's Friday.
I don't care what your past 5 days looked like.
I don't care what you did in 2015.
I don't care about your wonderful accomplishments or your terrible disappointments.
I only care about one thing.
Starting Monday, you'll have a brand new opportunity to put in a productive week's work.
You can spend each day producing something that will help you build a profitable online business.
If you do, you won't have overnight success.
But if you do that each week for the next 10 weeks... you'll be absolutely amazed at what you can accomplish.
Or...
Next Friday you can tell yourself, again, that you spent a lot of time on your computer, and almost no time getting any closer to your dreams.
10 weeks from now you'll be in virtually the same financial place you are now.
You decide.
If you want things to change, sit down and write out your Friday Blueprint for next week.
Do it now.
Focus.
Turn off the TV, put down the phone, and just focus.
If you don't know what I mean by writing your "Friday Blueprint" for next week... read below and you'll see what you might have missed from past emails.
Send me your blueprint when you're done if you'd like to get some feedback from me.
Hit "reply" to this email and forward it to me.
I love reading your Friday Blueprints.
I look forward to it every week.
Let's chat :)
I'll look for your reply.
Even if I don't get a reply from you, though, I really hope you spend a few minutes getting your blueprint ready for Monday.
Talk soon,
Donna
-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
