Day 161: Making Firm Decisions

Today I woke up early to go film a project. This is a four day project. I'll be filming every morning to put together a video for a client. I still haven't gotten any new social media clients and that's a little bit frustrating. It's Monday, so I talked with my coach and she decided that I was probably overwhelmed. I am. I'm always overwhelmed. But I'm used to it because I live here. I know that eventually everything is going to pay off, she's working to help me find balance in my life and make sure that everything that I'm doing is aligning with my goals. I signed up for a trial of the Motion app. I had it a few years ago but it's kind of clunky. We'll see how it is now and maybe it'll help me out.

Day 160: Ready for Monday

I spent all day today at work, and all day yesterday. I have a lot of stuff I need to figure out for the week. But I'm so behind and tired. I don't know how I'm gonna plan it all out. Good news is I made OK money at work the last couple of days and I have some filming jobs lined up over the next week. I got my car going and I think it's gonna be fine to drive around for a little bit. So that's exciting. Will save me a lot of money on Ubers. Every Sunday I try to clean and get ready for the week but since my day was thrown off today, that didn't happen.

Day 159: Trying to Stay Organized

Today I talk about how much I have going on and how hard it is for me to delegate certain tasks. Feels like there are so many things to do, and I'm always trying to add new customers to the pipeline which takes away from doing the actual things. I'm trying to understand a little bit more about how to delegate the things that I delegated and exactly what to delegate. In this video I talk a lot about where I'm currently at on my road to 1 million and some things that are going on in my life.

Day 158: Fixing things

Today I spent the majority of the day walking back-and-forth to Walmart in AutoZone while I try to fix my car. My car hasn’t been working since November recently I finally spent six or $700 to get it going and today and yesterday have been all about getting it back together and getting it running. I finally got it put together and started and it was smoking so I’m not sure what’s going on but we will try and fix that tomorrow after work

Day 157: Burning Out Again

Today, I'm starting to feel a little bit of burnout, this seems to happen every few months. I've been pretty disciplined, and 75 hardest stressing me out. I've got a lot of goals. I need to hit and things that I need to do. I need to add two more clients this month, and I'm not exactly sure how it's gonna happen. What happens when I'm distracted as I find myself scrolling on social media and having a hard time doing the things that I need to do. It gets so exhausting.

Day 155: Surrounded by "losers"

Today has been a lot of time working on adding businesses to my directory website. This gives me the opportunity to talk to them and build a relationship, which may eventually lead into them becoming a client. Even if they don't become a client, I get to learn their story and do something nice for them. I think this is the best thing for me to do and spend my time on since it has accounted for most of my clients in my income in the previous months. If I can figure out a way to do this a scale, it might be really beneficial.

Day 154: One Phone Call Could be worth $12,000

Today I really focused on looking at what has accounted for most of my income in the last couple of months, and then figuring out a plan to capitalize and duplicate on that. Adding businesses to my directory website as brought in about $4000 of income in a couple months. I only added about 10 businesses to my directory website and from that it generated a good amount of money from different people who ended up working with me. So now I'm figuring out a way to spend most of my time on doing that and using it as a freebie to potential clients. I'm still gonna have to keep finding people to pitch people to get in front of, there are so many people out there and I know that I just need to find the right ones and get myself in front of them.

Day 153: Staying Focused

Sometimes I get really frustrated and distracted. Today a big focus for me was figuring out where my energy needs to go. Sometimes I think I spend so much energy running around in circles instead of spending it on something that actually matters. I spent a lot of time updating my pipeline and trying to figure out what that should look like and how it connects with my funnel. There are a few different ways that I contact potential clients but I need to make sure that it's the most effective. I scheduled a lot of things out for tomorrow, tried to work for a little bit, but it was so slow. I had to go home. I need to get a few more clients so I can do this full-time.

Day 152: I'm Lost and Confused

Today I feel really tired and I feel like I didn't get a whole lot done. I mean I did. But not anything that I can remember and anything that's super tangible. I'm getting frustrated because I feel like I should have added on another client by now. But I still have it. Things are getting, frustrating. But I have to remember and take a step back and give myself grace because I'm doing OK. All things considered.

Day 151: Wasting My Money

Today I'm really tired. I'm running on like three hours of sleep and it's late at night. This is the only time that I can get caught up on work so here I am working. I'm having a hard time following my own train of thought because I'm so tired. Once I upload this video, I am going to bed. But one thing I thought about a lot today while I was talking was how much money I'm actually wasting. I'm usually pretty conscious about that. But as I make more money and get really busy, I have a hard time staying disciplined. I like where I'm going and I like the things that I'm working on but it gets really stressful because I feel like I need to spend a lot of money to buy the stuff that I need. I need some different tools. I need some different equipment. I need some different software and we typically spend a ton of money on things that we think will help us but the problem is us. The problem is always us and our dedication, but I'm trying to understand that break it apart.
