I think it's time I start writing my blog posts in the morning. I'm just too tired at night! Most mornings I get up, write in my gratitude journal, read something inspirational and get started.
Starting tomorrow I'll write my daily appreciations here! And I'll include a recap of the previous day...much like I do now.
Before we move on to the new entries, I'll share today's tale.
We landed our first full GMPS package order today! Woo hoo!!! This is the same client we did work for last week. He upgraded to our full services this afternoon. I'm very excited!
I'm hoping this is a prelude of things to come as we have a call with a potential client on Wednesday. How wonderful would it be to land two projects in one week?! I'd be beside myself with joy. I like imagining how I'll feel when that happens. I've got a happy dance all planned out!
In other news, our apprentices are MIA. They could be doing work for all I know because no one has checked in with updates. I've asked for those updates several times but haven't gotten one.
Not sure how best to tackle that hurdle so I'll sleep on it and see what we come up with tomorrow.
This truly has been an incredible couple of weeks! I am so happy to have been able to celebrate with a trip to Mexico and a trip to see my family. It is wonderful to have this kind of freedom and control over my life. I know I have miles to go but they are finally exciting miles. I see possibility and I believe in my ability to create those possibilites and outcomes as I determine them.
It is a wonderful life! It''s been amazing to share it with those I love the most. Tomorrow will be even better because we are having a family BBQ and the majority of my family will be in one place having fun together! We'll take pictures to share with you. :)
Here's hoping your day was wonderful too!
Create a nice day,
Lara

Happy Birthday to me
Yay! It's my birthday today.
It has been a fun day...made a few sales, contacted some more folks and generally had good times all around.
There are several apprentices who have agreed to work on this project but I haven't gotten updates from them. No word on how they are doing or even what they are doing.
It is a challenge to help others...especially when they don't help themselves.
I know I did the same thing! I turned away from help - almost always without realizing I was turning them down and/or pushing them away.
But that is why I am here to help others - because people helped me.
So I'll continue to be here to support, guide and offer assistance to anyone who is willing to reach out for it.
I am learning to better define that line between actually doing the work for them and simply helping. It's an ongoing process! It is fun when I look at the experience (or any other experience for that matter) as a process and a continual improvement versus an obstacle.
It's much easier to learn, grow and continue when every experience is viewed as a learning tool...at least for me it is. Hopefully I can help others to life their lives the same way. It's much more fun!
Anyway, that's my daily update. I'm going to take the evening off and spend it with my family.

Making Progress
There are definitely days that test my strength and my persistance. For some reason today was a day like that. Perhaps it's the pressure of a looming deadline for payroll ($2K by May 30th) or maybe it's just the stress of having been on the road for the better part of the last month.
It's nice to work from anywhere but it can also be a test of patience. Have you ever tried to write an email with two teenagers fighting next to you? Or with toddlers underfoot?
As always, there are pluses and minuses to every situation and there are definite drawbacks to only spending 6 days in my own home. I miss my dog! I miss my bed! I miss having quality quiet time with myself.
So I am a bit stressed. This is the first real test I've put myself under as a business owner. The world won't stop turning if this doesn't happen but I would strongly prefer we reach our goal!
I battled through the doubt, anxiety and fear today along with herding my apprentices.
On the plus side, I made two sales! Yipee!!! I did a little happy dance. It's a nice pre-birthday gift for me. :) Tomorrow's the big day, my birthday. It would be so fun if my sales would double or triple tomorrow! :) A girl's gotta dream.
So stay tuned and see what happens in the next 26 hours. I'm excited!
Til then,
Lara

More Promotion
I spent the day sending out more thank you emails (got a sale!) and moving the apprentices forward.
It would've been much easier to give them an audio recording of their instructions but step by step emails will work just as well. As long as they get going I'll be happy. It's a lot of work to do this by myself.
That's my exciting news for the day - I hope tomorrow I'll have more sales and more apprentices to tell you about!!!

Chugging Along
Well our conference call was a bust. None of the apprentices got on the call to get their instructions so there was no recording to send out. The point of the call was to get them moving and earning. I'd love to see a few of them enjoy the benefits of their own promotions as I think it would keep them committed to the apprenticeship.
There have been several people who have fallen by the wayside as we progressed but there are a few who are sticking with it. I'm thankful for my experiences with all of them because they are teaching me so much. It's invaluable for me!
Other than the conference call I spent the day sending out thank you notes for all of the giveaway products I've received. Tomorrow is much of the same!
I also started an MSN AdCenter campaign to promote the Google Main Page Report.
It's been fun and I greatly appreciate the experience.
All the best,
Lara

The Money Dance
Woo hoo!!! That's what I said today when I woke up and saw some conversions. :)
12% to be exact.
How cool is that?! Extremely.
I'm really excited about the report and the whole process. It's a terrific learning experience and even better to get paid while I'm doing it. :) It's about time for that money block to be released.
Remember when I said you'd see some exciting things over the next few weeks? Here they come! Come and join me in the money dance. It's the greatest thing ever I think...even better than the Macarena. And you know you loved that dance.
Hang in there, this is going to be fun - strike that, it already is! It's simply going to be even more so as the days progress.
Stick around!

Boost Your Online Traffic In A Matter of Minutes With This One Technique From PortalFeeder
Remember the additional money-maker I promised? Ok so it's not specific to your blog but it is a very handy tool to have in your toolchest.
Check out this is a clip from PortalFeeder on how to generate more traffic to your web site.
You'll see that it ties in quite nicely with my earlier post about press releases. :)
Since the embed code on YouTube.com isn't working, I can only share the URL here.
I hate to do that for fear you'll leave and never come back but I'll post the link anyway because it's valuable information and because I care about you dear reader. Come back when you're done!
It's late, I'm tired so I'm off to sleep. Stay tuned, you're going to see some incredible things happen in the next 6 weeks. We have to make miracles, there's no other choice...otherwise I won't have a roof over my head in June.
Til tomorrow...
