Subject: My "Friday Focus Group"

==>

Friday the 13th.

Pretty scary, huh?

As if we needed
one more thing to
be scared of.

It's bad enough
we're facing a new
week in a few days.

How's your Friday Blueprint
coming along this Friday eve?

Now, here's the problem.

Far too many things we
tackle in our business
are done because we are
afraid not to.

We're afraid to not post
to Facebook.

We might not get any
"likes" today.

We're afraid to miss the
publication of our blog
post.

Google bots might notice
and give us an "inconsistent
publishing" demerit.

We're even afraid to sit
and write our Friday Blueprint.

Maybe we won't be able to
complete all the things
we plan.

You see, the problem is that
when we do things just because
we're afraid not to, we won't
have the enthusiasm required
to do it really well.

On the other hand...

We often stop ourselves from
doing things in the first
place.


We're afraid we're not capable,
or that we'll never be able to
finish or, worst... we'll
try really hard and fail...
and look foolish for having
tried.

That kind of fear doesn't
keep us from winning.

It just keeps us out of the
game.

Either way, Fear is crippling.

The only way to stare it
down is to move forward and
focus...

Focus on doing just one thing.

Focus on completing just one
thing.

Focus on doing it regardless
of whether we're doing it
"right."

Focus on the process, not
on the results... neither
real nor anticipated results.

So on Friday the 13th, even
though fear abounds...

I want you to include one
thing in your Friday Blueprint
that you'd typically be too
scared to tackle.

Maybe you'll record your
first video, no matter what
your hair looks like :)

(I know that feeling).

Maybe you'll finally buy
a hosting account, grab
your free domain name and
actually start that blog.

Maybe you'll simply write
your Friday Blueprint for
the first time, despite
the fact that you're sure
you'll do it "wrong."

It just seems like a
great day to start
tackling, maybe even
overcoming a few of
those fears that have
been preventing us from
having the success we
deserve.

================== >>
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 "Friday Focus Group"
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
