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.
