Last year I so wanted to have my products done so that this year I could soar on my own (before the money ran out).
But it didn't happen.
It was too much doing the part-time job AND the blog (and so much else - including house projects and the paperwork) and it just didn't happen.
It's hard for me to come to terms with the fact that I graduated FIVE years ago and I'm still struggling to be a success with my BIZ. I know there is a lot of rearranging inside and that all that inner work is giving me even more direction of where I can go outside (which is great) but still, most people get back on track within a couple of years.
I know in a way I'm blessed to have this time and that I'm just coming around to the realization of how much (inner) work I need to do. To comfort what was not comforted when I was growing up. I know it's a lifetime of work. And yes, not everyone does this (ever at all). Many people stay asleep for their entire life. Possibly only 10% of those that really need to do the work, do it. They will never wake up or realize that the work is needed.
You ARE doing the work.

FROM WEEK 42:
"There's always this ebb and flow of wanting to reach out and connect to more local like-minded masterminders and then thinking that I don't have the time to connect and I really need to get the work done!!
I'm feeling that need to stretch out right now - possibly because I've listened to back to back episodes of JBYM lately. And I'm wondering where I can find "my people" locally. Not only my community (that will connect with what I'm offering) but also some local masterminders - others who are trying to make a go at being creative entrepreneurs." (LINK)
(I'm feeling less of this ebb and flow now. I'm more content at home and more content with my own work - there is less need to seek a "best entrepreneur friend" which is good. I'm really happy. Today I read about this idea of meeting up with a few entrepreneur friends and doing co-working one day a week - love that idea! I'm actually feeling pretty focused right now, feel supported enough through online connections, phone calls and task buddy that I don't need more. And actually worry about adding too much! Still hoping to find some really local (like my neighbourhood local!) that I can meet up with occasionally but I think other than that my plate (and heart) feel full. Yay!! I will keep the "co-working at each other's homes (or meeting up a coffee shop)" idea in mind once I'm back to networking again. I'm just starting to feel a flow for work and want to keep working at it and not get distracted! First I want to solidify a good rhythm for working at home (tasks, health, exercise, outside) and test being able to do focused work outside the home such as at a coffee shop!! xo)
