Another Day Another Dollar
So yesterday brought alot of things to me. Not money yet.. but it will come. The website is something I am ok with finally. It is like the shoe maker.. I haven't had time to go and get all my own photos or my portfolio up and don't want to pick a really fancy theme as sometimes keeping things simple really is best. I have tried alot of different themes and have come back to one of the WordPress 2011 themes as there is so much flexibility. I realize as well I should be bloggin' on that site probably but connecting the two is the next step. Today has already brought little successes, been for a walk with Shelley, got in my Hour of Power....Tony Robbins Style and I guess next to add to the list is the other Hour of Power..Robert Shuller Style.. there aren't alot of preachers I have listened to in my life, but once in a while, while he was living I would take time to watch him on T.V. and I have book of his I love to pick up.. and there is so much love in what he has to say, it is always a valuable moment in my life. But today was doing it Tony style, even did a video while walking.. taking time to be mentally fit, physically fit, taking time with family and now taking time for business. Actually got an other video blog done, but realized I changed topics mid video.. from how to prep for your meetup.com meeting.. to what our next meeting was going to be about. So another will have to be made.. I am loving editing. I learned how to use Adobe Premier Pro in University and am using something much simpler. Would be happy with either! Forgot how enjoyable the creative process is.
But now to get on with the day! So since I have taken a couple days off my 90 day promise I better make sure it is done today!
***

Time to make it happen!
Right now, I am just going to review, look for the weak points, build up the places I see need work.
Rinse and repeat. Getting on the phone today and calling people, organize the files as I walk through calling them and just be consistent.
I have alot of follow up to do, a new offer to get myself out there and really excited about setting up a point of sale project as well for QR Codes.
When you know something is working, go back to it, tweek it, polish it until it shines.
Very happy to have got a couple videos done with editing, not happy with how I am looking in them,
so got a new haircut, have lost 6 lb over the past few weeks with a change of diet and a renewed addiction to walking and we stepped it up a notch and went to the gym yesterday. I have a bad foot from a blister and my neck often is tweeked from a car accident I had a few years ago, but getting active, really helps loosen everything up and gets the endorphins going. Having a work out partner who has the same goals is really amazing. I think it isn't an easy thing to find either.. I have a photo I have on my desk top everyday as a goal as well.. or maybe I just want her shoes!
OK, lets see where we get to today!
Here she is...

Keith Farazzi - saves my day again...
Tip 264 - Guest Mission: Save Yourself from A Stressful Melt-Down with This Simple Tip
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This mission is by Mike Figliuolo, managing director of thoughtLEADERS, LLC and author of the new leadership book One Piece of Paper: The Simple Approach to Powerful, Personal Leadership. I use my vision boards as triggers. Head to the blog and let me know if have something that snaps you into a more grounded perspective?-KF
Life can get stressful at times. When you get stressed, you will tend to focus intently on your stressor. That focus can lead you to lose perspective on things that might be much more important.
Your mission is to create a simple reminder that will help you regain your perspective. Choose something that is a personal memory and something that has solid emotional meaning for you. It can be the birth of a child, the loss of a loved one, or a major life event. It could be a simple phrase you’ve heard someone important to you use when they were stressed (e.g., “this isn’t rocket science.”). Just make sure whatever trigger you choose has deep personal meaning to you.
Once you’ve chosen that reminder, practice using it when things get stressful. If you’re having a bad day at work, remembering what’s really important in life can make your present situation less stressful. So go ahead – pick your reminder and start putting it into practice in stressful situations. It will reduce your stress, help you regain perspective, and improve your performance.
Warmest,
Keith

Short and sweet and focused
Like a good twitter posting, I am going to keep it short and sweet!
My Dream today is to convert my leads into cash so I can pay the morgage.
My actions towards that, are going to a clients site and working onsite as thier marketing manager for the day.
-I will be putting together a QR Campaign this afternoon and just focusing on that - nothing else.
- I have put out alot of resumes, for teaching art etc. and I realized this morning, that I like helping kids alot, after calming a little girl down who had her leg stuck in a McDonald's booth. I had applied as a 911 operations assistant so already had how I can deal with pressure on my mind and the opportunity to demand butter from a stupified manager was presented.
anyway, just having a coffee, picking up the email before off to work.
-Garrat and Zack are off volunteering at the zoo today and they have a ride home arranged.
All is good, great things will happen today.
Over an out!

Another sunny day, another day to look for opportunity
My computer is at Staples still, and what I love about computer life now, as everything is online, is that I can just find another computer. With the exception of my graphic design programs, life as an internet marketing and trainer is much easier. Even my invoices are stored online with google docs. My websites are edited through wordpress , my email is through godaddy.com so I just log into their webmail service no matter where I am at. It is a blessing and a curse.. I have no excuses... Keep on truckin sister, you can still research, pick up email on your iphone, a get those quotes done on O desk. (That is my next challenge on the list) Out source one item and I have just the one. A quite complicated website that involved some programming. But I know it has done before and it easy! The next big project will be to get ready for my next meetup group where I will be showing people how to build a email capture page, so they can broaden their marketing funnel with Eweber. But tonight Agata and I are off to Sade's Concert in Vancouver. A nice excuse to forget laptop troubles and listen to this most elegant crooner that I have adorded since I was a teenager.
-90 day challenge starts here-
My Big DREAMS are... ( love the dot dot dot.)
To go camping this summer with my kids for 2 nights. Take the old paddle board, the new kayak paddle, our life vest and just relax together. No house work, no worry, just water and splashing around..
Work toward the ability to by a new paddle board, matching paddle and have the time to play on it in Hawaii...
I am what I think about most!
My Successes today were : (hummm I might be a morning writer but fix this later.)
1. Freedom to just parent with out the disruption of 9-5 work hours.
- have quality play time on the water with my teenagers.
This is something I think about and I got to take time to do some yard work with Garrat.. Hannah made cookies this morning.. and we cleaned up together.. baby steps.
2. Be able to help people in designing their marketing plans and see their successes. I am going into the planning phase of a Marketing Mastermind group that will run bi-monthly in my home as there seems to be a need for it. Good to be wanted, and I love the requests. Now to make sure I can provide MASSIVE Value to those who sign up.
3. Just going to the Speed Scene office to get my work done. How easy was that.. Laptop is still at the doctor but it won't stop me.
4. Yard tidied, Garbage ready to go out the door.
5. Meditated this morning until my neck pain went away. I am thinking that the skipping is actually going to help. It will give my core more balance. Was worried about the reprocussions but I think using the walk to run program as a walk to skip program could be a really great thing for my back health. Since the accident my neck just isn't the same, always having to sleep with a bean bag pillow etc. but I am so thankful I am mobile and can keep working at healing. The skipping did however set off the numbness on the side of my face as any stress seems to do. But hey! I am so happy to be able to do this.
I am Grateful for (3 min. and you can repeat)
1. My parents making diner last night
2. My kids
3. Going to this amazing concert!
The action I took towards my BIG DREAMS were...
( you must take one action towards your big dream every day ( 3 is awesome)
1. Working on the kids, the business, the organizing.
2. Talked with Shell about going down to a cabin over the border for 2 nights.
3. Skipped yesterday, have lost 3 pounds. Feeling healthy.
The actions I took towards my Happiness were
(You must at least do ONE activity towards increasing your Happiness at set points every day.. no matter how small)
1. Saying yes to going to a concert
2. Having coffee with such a good friend this morning!
3. Spend time with our home today. What Saturdays should be, did the bottle recycling, let the rabbit out for a little run about, worked with Garrat in the yard. It is the little things!

Time, Persistence, Doing what your are a little scared of = success
My Big DREAMS are... ( love the dot dot dot.)
Well this morning my big dream would be that my daughter comes back to the planet and understands what a nice place we have to live in. I was on such a high, from a personal business success last night, being offered ticket to Sade for Saturday. Very excited! Proud I got my excersize and hour of personal power in this morning... and then the teenage girl pipes in about what a dumpy trashy place we live in. We live a 1942 bunglow. It is cute, sweet, just moved in so still finding places for things, the basement is a jumble, in an amazing location, lovely garden, economical to heat etc. It is sensible for a single mom with 2 kids.( Not in a brand new subdivision like all of her friends. I got a great price on it when I purchased it and everyone that comes over to visit falls in love. Other than my 17 year old. My big dream is that she would learn graciousness, I guess I need to be a better example, leading by example has always been my goal but she has some ideas of perfection I have no interest in achieving. ( I would need a housekeeper,personal bathroom butler, car washer, private cook and personal secretary to achieve the level of perfection she expects of me ) So one of my big dreams and I think she will achieve it and I will have to keep showing her, is being thankful for all the little things in life. The private back yard, the nice neighbors, that we can walk to the store, that we have fresh paint, big windows, nice wood floors, running water and lots of wonderful friends and my parents are such a support. Doing the first workshop last night was scary, but being the mother of a teenage girl these days... terrifying.
I am what I think about most!
My Successes today were : (hummm I might be a morning writer but fix this later.)
1. Taking time for my walk to skip program - a good sweat!
2. Pull off a great workshop last night.
3. Being patient with my computer this morning.
4. Taking time to meditate 2x as long before getting out of bed and letting myself sleep in as I worked until 2;30 am.
5. for the nice house I live in.
I am Grateful for (3 min. and you can repeat)
1. My kids
2. My Parent
3. My Friends
The action I took towards my BIG DREAMS were...
( you must take one action towards your big dream every day ( 3 is awesome)
1. Doing my first workshop and I am going follow up with everyone as well.
2. Got a quote out and I am going to try O Desk today!
3. Skipping, so I can improve my health wealth.

Another new rule - READ - BEFORE PANICK .....
In university I learned to quick read... that is what I consider the precurser to speed reading... so I skim alot.
Last week I got a bill from the city.. I just skimmed to the total at the bottom and panicked... got angery as the morgage company was supposed to pay the tax bill on the houses, and have been waiting for another one for the other house. Dreading sitting on hold to ask y why the bill is higher than what I had to pay out monthly.. blah blah blah.. my head doing to talking.
So while in my seminar yeasterday I made a "todo" list and making that phone call was on it. While looking for the phone number I thought I might actually read the letter.. and actually I just needed to sign the form at the bottom to apply for the homeowners grant I didn't think I qualified for as we have two houses. While reading it I also remembered my parents are on the title so maybe we get the seniors discount. This has been really awesome for the insurance company as we qualified for all the seniors discounts.. ( another reason to be thankful for having my parents support) SAVED MONEY.
OKey Dokey.. Kids are off doing their thing. Garrat is landscaping with Darren today making $10 bucks an hour and Hannah is off with her step mom applying for jobs and she is going to learn to do some bookkeeping for me this afternoon. ( we seem to keep having scheduling conflicts.. )
I have a huge amazing list of things to get through and clients to take care of today, quotes to get out. This makes me Happy!
My Big DREAMS are... ( love the dot dot dot.)
Write a page or post photos here... I guess.
I am what I think about most!
My Successes today were : Going to come back to this at the end of today!
1. Worked on my Laptop Lifestyle website. Still need to figure out how to get the links back now that I have put Stewarts video up.

The action I took towards my BIG DREAMS were...
( you must take one action towards your big dream every day ( 3 is awesome)
1. Listened to my morning meditation which puts me in my mind on my paddle board, floating on the water.
2. Got the skip rope out which will help with with my balance while on the paddle board, going to to use it three times today and I hadn't thought of applying the same technique as walk to run.. to stand to skp.. When you walk to run, you walk five run one, until you are run 5 walk one.. and then you just run.. so I am going to apply the same technique to skipping as I want to make sure I am careful of my knees.
3. Working, organized and working so I can bring money in, pay off the debt, so I can live the dream.
The actions I took towards my Happiness were
(You must at least do ONE activity towards increasing your Happiness at set points every day.. no matter how small)
1. meditate. oh and watched the end of Eat Pray Love which was good.. reminded me to smile with my liver liz..
2. Going to get back to good eating after feasting on candies at the seminar yesterday. Oh yuk!
3. I am up, feet on the ground, and smiling. all good!~
4. Actually having another Marketing Mastermind Group tonight as well. The roster is full! I opened 10 spots as I want to be able to offer massive value and really get to know the people coming to get started..
Last week I got a bill from the city.. I just skimmed to the total at the bottom and panicked... got angery as the morgage company was supposed to pay the tax bill on the houses, and have been waiting for another one for the other house. Dreading sitting on hold to ask y why the bill is higher than what I had to pay out monthly.. blah blah blah.. my head doing to talking.
So while in my seminar yeasterday I made a "todo" list and making that phone call was on it. While looking for the phone number I thought I might actually read the letter.. and actually I just needed to sign the form at the bottom to apply for the homeowners grant I didn't think I qualified for as we have two houses. While reading it I also remembered my parents are on the title so maybe we get the seniors discount. This has been really awesome for the insurance company as we qualified for all the seniors discounts.. ( another reason to be thankful for having my parents support) SAVED MONEY.
OKey Dokey.. Kids are off doing their thing. Garrat is landscaping with Darren today making $10 bucks an hour and Hannah is off with her step mom applying for jobs and she is going to learn to do some bookkeeping for me this afternoon. ( we seem to keep having scheduling conflicts.. )
I have a huge amazing list of things to get through and clients to take care of today, quotes to get out. This makes me Happy!
My Big DREAMS are... ( love the dot dot dot.)
Write a page or post photos here... I guess.
I am what I think about most!
My Successes today were : Going to come back to this at the end of today!

1. Listened to my morning meditation which puts me in my mind on my paddle board, floating on the water.
2. Got the skip rope out which will help with with my balance while on the paddle board, going to to use it three times today and I hadn't thought of applying the same technique as walk to run.. to stand to skp.. When you walk to run, you walk five run one, until you are run 5 walk one.. and then you just run.. so I am going to apply the same technique to skipping as I want to make sure I am careful of my knees.

Starting in ernest
My Big DREAMS are... Paiwen Paddle Board, Take the Kids to Disney Land, Pay off one of the houses. Be student loan free.
I am what I think about most!
My Successes today were : (hummm I might be a morning writer but fix this later.)
1. Yesterday I made the basement usable,
2. Organized Garrat room. I hope he likes finding his clothes.
3. Planted potatoes, moved some plants, killed weeds, and got some great stretching exsersize while doing it.
4.Made soup for the week, this has been amazing on coffee reduction plan. blending it makes it think and rich and yummy and 0 points!
5. Hannah came home for the weekend, nice to have her around. Missed Garrat, didn't miss their constant nattering .. 6. Got out of my comfort zone at BBQ Friday night, had a great time, and got to know how "ok" I am with myself, my decisions and I am excited about how I can use that experience, like the first time I went Kayaking in deep water, to push myself forward.
I am Grateful for (3 min. and you can repeat)
1. my new home feeling so safe and quite ( most days quiet)
2. my kids being so amazing and working and their own successes.
3. my parents for being so helpful and supportive.
The action I took towards my BIG DREAMS were...
( you must take one action towards your big dream every day ( 3 is awesome)
1. Taking care of my home, and know it is clean and organized lets me get to the business side. I used to leave things and work on business but I know how to balance better now. It is easier to work on everything a little at a time instead of a huge fix up later that will overwhelm me.
2. I have to take a resume up to Vallhalla Pure tomorrow for a part time spot that brings me closer to the outdoors and that paddle board. I think hanging out with like minded people will be great.

The actions I took towards my Happiness were
(You must at least do ONE activity towards increasing your Happiness at set points every day.. no matter how small)
1. I took time for inner peace yesterday, sitting on the grass and pulling weeds.. drinking coffee, this neighborhood is just unlike where I have lived before, it has a quiet air of being established like an old Shaunessy neighborhood, without the big houses and stuffiness...
2. I ate well, I fasted ( but drank lots/tons) most of the day, and had a light dinner after the sun went down in honor of my friends who are partaking of Ramadan.
3. I cleaned, I organized, and I worked though the pain... must go see Paul!

Five Minute Facebook Rule
Well August is already got a dent in it and finally all the boxes in the basement have been broken down and there is a dent in the pile of stuff that we never quite unpacked. It has been a huge distraction not knowing where your frying pan is when you work from home. And working from home is the topic and project of the day. Trading a week day for a weekend day is my right :-) When you work in an open office concept, you have "big brother" or "nosey nancy" to make sure you curb your facebook time. But I am finding it easy to slide into just viewing. So new goal. five minutes. I do have several friends and some family I really like to check out what they are doing.
This week I am also wishing it had a big note as to the day of the week!. I don't know about you, but having a schedule, getting kids to school etc. keeps me on track. August is a just a big swirl of what didn't we fit in yet. So back to the five minute Facebook rule. .. I don't think it should be used on Sundays, but as I lost a couple days this week, I am using it. Maybe it was to much gardening yesterday but the plan is to work all day on making sure my web capture pages are all set up as I had set it up on AWeber, and it is working. The seven day marketing bootcamp is running and people are receiving it, but I want to go through and remember how I did it! I have to say I am thankful for all the videos on my back office as Six Figure Mentors, so that if there is any online tool I need to use, From setting up a Facebook fan page to more difficult tasks of setting up things like the 7 day bootcamps that send out the links automatically every day after someone has chosen to take it. Very cool stuff! Lovin it! Ok well this is separate from my Log I am doing every day. So peace out and have an amazing day!. I am going to go out and have my coffee in the garden.

Another day, and so much to do,
So I got started on this blog as a challenge to verbally create a more positive outcome for my lifeéfamily and my business. We have been through big family changes and physically moved house holds, gone from an amazing income with no expenses, a free beautiful place to live to just a whole different life. A life I like better by the way But they just saw me on my low energy points when I just had nothing left to give as it was put into all the change and figuring out how you become a single parent to some kids to had the equivalent of 5 parents. IT has been alot of weight on one set of shoulders. Emotionally and financially. But we are on the other side of the hill and headed for the next mountain. My point of starting this today is that as I have a very hard time handwritting ( my muscles don`t function past a couple lines of writing with a pen) I have been using this to start my `Success Journal`it is an actual book put out by www.mymsucess.com and I am warmed up now so I thought I would type out the format to fill in the pages. It is a 90 day challenge to think about big dreams, goals, to look at your successes. So I will do a template and then fill it in each day. So very Oprah!
My Big DREAMS are... ( love the dot dot dot.)
I am what I think about most!
My Successes yesterday were : (hummm I might be a morning writer but fix this later.)

Getting out on the water with a paddle board, with the kids in the sail boat with a new working motor as Sergai says we should sell the other one as it is not safe enough for a bunch of girls to be out on the water with.. it runs.. but not reliable. What a great guy! He spent ages messing around with it.

Notes on Private List - on time management
Is the coffee under control.. how are your adrenal glands..
Look at your personal data and see where your best energy is.
Notice when you loose your motivation? Where is your best energy and are you working with it?
Watch the Makers Schedule vs the Managers Schedule - Graham.
Look at giving yourselves blocks of uninteruppted time.
You need 2-3 uninterupped hours of time to focus your attention.
Protect your attention: How?
Look at your to do list and pick one thing that if you get it done, you will feel accomplished..
I will keep listening.

Another Day another Outdoor Office
As many parents know, August is a time that the kids are restless and you have things to get done and they have ideas on what they should be!
I have decided instead of impatience, I will find a change of schedule, until September arrives and they are not at the mercy of so much time to dwell on.
Tonight I had a soft start to a new meetup.com group. A testing ground and a place to challenge my own speaking skills. Really looking forward to it as it will give me a time line ( bi-weekly) to get the sections for my latest project and ebook. So all very exciting. Things are looking even better than expect.

A day a way - brings me back to home
So it was a great weekend, and I have moved through many stages this weekend and learned to be more articulate and relax into where I want to go. Did a video at the beach.
I have had serval people asking me when the Coffee House will start up again and I am finally revamped enough to move it out to Abbotsford with a new name as well. Thursday evenings we have a new networking/marketing mastermind group starting through www.meetup.com for those who want to get thier marketing plans polished up, learn about new tools and be around others who are excited about growning their businesses. Soft launch will be this Thursday and full launch the following Thursday at Legal Grounds Coffee shop in Abbotsford. I love it. I can walk there!
So off to work on the website with my 3 offers / packages. Hope you are all having a great week already.

Do More with less, when it comes to words..
There are many of us who have got to the point where, we can summarize our day for a facebook status, it becomes a new paradigm of how to present ourselves. That was when I quit facebook for a while... and as I have promised to write a journal everyday, I woke up this morning, thinking of the things I was grateful for. It has just been a couple days and isn't it amazing how we can create a new paradigm for our mind to latch onto. Many people suffer years of abuse, and when it ends they have a very hard time forgiving, and moving on, creating a new paradigm for the mind to work with.
In university I studied religion a bit and one of the many things that sets "The Church" which shall not be named appart from some of the older religions was the believe you can go, confess and be forgiven and start fresh the next day. It is one of most powerful concepts out there, that has caused alot of damage, caused alot of pain. Go beat your wife today, go to confession, start fresh on the beatings tomorrow.. say enough H.Mary's and poof, you are guilt free.
All irony asside, it is one of the best lesson's, if you can use it for possitive change in your life. One thing I remember from church as a kid was one statement that I have had a challenge with, but seem to get much better as I understand it. "Let Go" let go so you can change, let go so the past is not forging your future, let go and let the new ideas take shape and let go, so you can have fun in the present moment.
My heaven is here, on earth, in the present moment, it is what I make it, and it what will be. So as Goth said, "Begin it Now.."
So today, work done or not we are going to one little corner of our heaven, the boat, by the ocean, fullfilling a promise to take time with the kids. Garrat is spending time with cousins, but Hannah is bringing a gaggle of girls, we are packing a picnic and headed for the boat and then the beach. I will have a couple books in hand and sunscreen and will will enjoy!
So back to my title and how will I achieve it.. well I spend the day on learning more about video and presenting on video so not having to worry about my grammar and text will be a load of. The communication will be heightened, I learned about tonalities, certain key points that will draw people into the conversation and get them invested in what I am say, which is a challenge when you are typing. A challenge as you seem to need more words.
So I will need to write a couple scripts that keep it simple, get a few of my points across. Keep them short and plentiful, offer massive value and use fewer words than my normal style, but make sure I get the point across...

Sometimes when you do less, you get miles ahead!
The past few days have been such a change of pace, the need to focus on family and home has been more than necessary and it has been happening so naturally with so much help. My daughter seems to have discovered her nesting gene, and has been such a sweet caregiver to her mom, like she has never been before and seems to understand how some types of organization are harder for me, where as organizing anothers business is so easy. So just so thankful for you genersity, for making the best deviled eggs and great mango slushies! And following in her footsteps one of my besties showed up after dinner unannounced with a bottle of wine and we orgainzed my closet and threw out clothes, leaving me with time to work on my own business strategies after she left in a clean and tidy space. As for food and excersize, that rocked as Shelley texted me before I was even awake as I was finally in such a deep sleep I didn't hear my notifications. It might be normal for most, but I haven't been in a truely deep sleep for probably years, so this is a huge milestone. To be able to be relaxed enough, not to feel the need to be in a light sleep.. sad but true but now it is the past! She was suggesting a bigger long walk than the long walk 5 miles.. we did last Sunday.. and I just wanted to groan until I suggested we do a Nike app work out and she was good with it and we only walked an hour, but only after we did one seriously tough work out that was only 15 min. but it was boot camp quality and very focused and I suspect I will be in serious pain in the morning. I love to excersize but I don't have 2 hours a day except maybe Sundays and we included an amazing 7 point salad afterwords which is great! All in all, another amazing, positive day! Planned an afternoon at the boat with Hannah and her girl friends as well tomorrow. Lovin it! Hope youa re all having a great weekend.
