Truer words were never spoken. And people need to realize that's the way it works... And that the vice versa (bad business, bad life) doesn't need to be true.

Truer words were never spoken. And people need to realize that’s the way it works… And that the vice versa (bad business, bad life) doesn’t need to be true.

Now I'm up at 5am because I WANT to, not because I have to. It's an incredible feeling and as a result my first book is due out soon. Part of a series of self-published pocket sized handbooks, and I'm really excited. Self-employment success is worth it when you give it the time and commitment it requires. I'm so glad I did the work required to create the strength I needed. I guess that means I believe in the game! But really I believed in myself and my ability to make it work. My thoughts are too big to let go...so I keep them close every day! It took time, commitment and effort to get to place of laser focus (I’ve been working on it for 3 years now).

I learned how to find my dashboard through a self paced class, and I saved the lessons, so that now that I can't find my dashboard again I know how to look it up. So as much as I could certainly use the help and learning, I think I will need to do this kind of work one on one. Great ideas. Hope the class is a great success - I'd love to have reports on progress and hear how folks are doing...What fun <abbr><em>Patricias last blog post..<a href="http://patriciaswisdom.com/2009/03/announcing-a-writing-contest-%E2%80%93-with-a-financial-incentive/" rel="nofollow">Announcing a Writing Contest – With a Financial Incentive!</a></abbr></em> Tom,

You are officially excused. Celebrate! Kathy - I'm honored that you've decided to join us for this scrimmage. Chris - I always enjoy how transparent and authentic your comments are. If you're in the process you're half-way home. Matt - Thanks buddy, a bigger game with it's corresponding focus certainly fits that bill. :) Juliet – Happy Birthday! You are officially excused.

Sometimes we feel unchallenged or even board with our "obligations" and need something new or far-reaching to help motivate or inspire us.

What it brought up for me was the way I spent a lot of time trying to "earn the right" to enjoy my life by working furiously, but what I ultimately recognized was that this is not only impossible, but actually restricts what I can accomplish in my work. I'm in the process of moving beyond that now. <abbr><em>Chris Edgar | Purpose Power Coachings last blog post..<a href="http://www.purposepowercoaching.com/site/?p=235" rel="nofollow">Recording Of “Transcending Procrastination” Teleseminar</a></abbr></em> Thanks for this post.
