Timelines.
I have been accused of having them; and being so picky about them.
I also count the days. Like it was 90 days till I graduated from college; x days till the weekend; or payday; or the sun comes up at 7 am. I go back and look at my daytimer on my phone and see when xyz happened. I do this to keep myself motivated. To keep myself encouraged. And to keep myself on track. I am guilty of being too into my timeline that I get overwhelmed and feel bad. Like it's never going to happen for me. When those times hit I reach out to a few of my close friends that are familiar with my struggles of being in business for myself and they remind me of the times I fell down and got back up - stronger and more focused.
I am actually in this season now.
I am working on my Life Coach business - this blog is a part of my Life Coach business.
I have a lot of pieces I want to add to my business and I write about them all the time. I make vision refrigerator boards. I tape positive affirmations on my bathroom mirror. I write my short term and long term goals out on pieces of paper and leave them on the counter in my kitchen. I have noticed that putting that pressure on myself stifles my creativity. I got some good advice last year from Queen Afua; she said to just start from where I was. Use what I have. And I did. I created a business FB page and took my daily affirmations I created from my 1st business got bootcamp? and added a picture to them. That was 1 year ago October 3rd 2014. And then I started this blog year 2 on October 4th 2015. Time passed so quickly and the pressure was less because I was doing something for my business each day. I also noticed things about myself. Like I had to post but other things in my life got in the way and at one time I was over 2 months behind on my postings. And even now with the Blog-Ask Storm - I have noticed that I come home and I'm like oops; I can't watch TV or talk on the phone or check my FB because I have to post to my blog. And then I start to panic because I'm like 'what am I going to say'. And then I remind myself that I am posting daily to my Blog and some kind of way the words come. And with the words coming it reminds me of the books I dream about writing and the other goals I have for my Storm Jackson Life Coach business.
