Did you ever have a
week so crazy that
you hardly know
"which side is up"?

This has been a
week like that
for me.

If you've been
keeping an eye
on my business
this week, you
know what I mean.

I've been in the
midst of a red
hot affiliate
launch for
"Ecom Subscription Pro."

Many of you bought
it today when it
launched at 9 a.m.

I'm sure you're
as excited to get
it rolling as I am.

If you've been out
of the loop, you
can get up to snuff
right here...

Now, I don't do a
lot of affiliate
marketing, but I'm
friends with the
guy behind this
product, and I know
he's an amazing
marketer.

And I know his system
will be helping a lot
of people who have
been struggling online
to turn their fortunes
around.

So, I jumped into
this with all my
energy.

But it did knock
me off my usual path.

I got caught up doing
video promos, a couple
of webinars and even
an interview with the
man behind the system.

Then I had to write
some sales pages for
special marketing sites
I promoted to, and
even a few articles
reviewing the system.

Then today, the phone,
my Facebook page, my
email... everywhere I
turned people were
buzzing about this
because it launched
this morning.

My entire day was devoted
to working with customers,
coordinating with the
product creator, and putting
final touches on some of
the promotions I still had
in progress.

So, wow, I've really
been thrown off my
ordinary game plan.

Still, I did make sure
every day to allot a
few hours to maintaining
my ongoing business...
my blog, my membership
site and my coaching
schedule.

Today was the only day
I had to completely
turn my back on all that.

So, how about you?

Have you ever gotten
tossed off the path
you tread?

Did you stop everything
you had been doing, and
lose your way in the
process?

It's easy to do.

You can avoid it by making
sure that even when you
have a week like I just
did, either for business
or personal reasons...

even when you get churned
up by all the obligation
and turmoil...

still, make sure to do
even little things to
keep on track with your
main business or blog,
or whatever.

Did you ever get
sidetracked like this?

When you do, make sure
to stick with your
Friday Blueprint, even
if you have to modify it.

And, of course, keep
visiting my Friday Focus
group each Friday.

If you're new, here,
then you can read about
this group and the
Friday Blueprint concept
below.

If you're a regular to
this group, you know
that I love to hear
what you're involved in
right now...

and what your Blueprint
looks like this week.

me hear from you :)

I look forward to it.

Talk soon,

================== >>
==> 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
