I wasn't able to do
anything this week.
I always tell people
to stick to the 2-day
plan.
By that, I mean, never
let 2 days go by without
doing anything at all
to build your business.
"Build your business"
means, doing something
that can result in a
profit.
Profits build your
business.
Nothing else does.
So if you don't do
anything at all on
Monday to build your
business, make sure
you something about
it on Tuesday.
etc.
The reason is that
if you start taking
off multiple consecutive
days... you lose
momentum.
Momentum is critical
to having an online
business that actual
makes a profit.
Now, the best thing
to do is spend every
single day on productive,
business building.
But if you must skip
a day here and there,
never skip 2-days in
a row.
Now that I've told
you all about that,
here's the thing...
I just took an entire
week off.
I did nothing, not
a single thing.
Not even "non-profit
building" things like
blog commenting,
Facebook chatter,
email messages...
Nothing at all.
Now, I had no choice.
I was gone for the
week to attend a
family funeral and
I didn't even take
my computer.
I just got home
late last night.
So, now it's time
to get down to
business.
I'll get back in
the flow, but it
won't be easy at
first.
So, here's how I'll
start up again.
It's Friday, so you
know what that means.
I'm going to sit
down right now and
write my Friday Blueprint.
Tomorrow, I'll start
implementing it, even
though it's Saturday.
Enough is enough with
the days off :)
So, how has your week
been?
Are you ready to sit
down and write up
your Friday Blueprint?
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
the things that you're
involved in.
And I'm always interested
to see what your Blueprint
looks like.

Tell me what it's
looking like.
I look forward to
hearing from you.

If you're new to
my newsletter...
Here's what my
"Friday Focus Group"
is all about.
This was the first
email I sent out
introducing folks
to it.
================== >>
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
