Do as I say, not as I do.
That's all I can say to you today, because I've been totally out of focus this week.
Yet, I come here each Friday/Saturday to try to keep you on track with your business.
So my best advice is to do as I say.
I say that you must not let yourself get distracted with all the things you "could" do...
and stay focused on the things you know you "should" do to keep your business moving forward.
So if your Friday BluSeprint from a week ago included posting 3 new videos to your YouTube channel... that should have been your top priority.
If you get to Thursday and you haven't posted a single video, you need to stop everything and get to work!
Hopefully, you were on target and did one video on Monday, another on Wednesday, and by Thursday you're getting ready to do your 3rd and final one.
So that's how it should work.
Keyword... "should"
That's what I should be doing, too, but it didn't happen that way this week.
I was on schedule to post my new WSO course Thursday morning but I had all kinds of tech issues, so I didn't get it on until Friday.
I had to do a video series for a JV partner, but I got involved with helping another one do his new product launch.
I don't really like doing too many product launches for JV's b/c I end up sending a bunch of promotional emails to my list, and that takes me off track with creating a higher "value" experience for my subscribers.
But I really, really liked what this product was, so I agreed to get involved.
But the tradeoff was that it took me off my own path and there were a few other things I had "blueprinted" for myself that I just never got to.
So, yea, I did it all wrong this week, plus a lot of tech things broke down and ...
Yicckkkk
I'm glad its Saturday.
But don't do as I do...
Do as I say.
I say to make sure you've got your really cool and product "Friday Blueprint" all spiffed up and ready to get you off on the right track come Monday.

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