As a woman, I often feel compelled to succeed probably just to prove myself to others. From time to time, I have to sit back and re-assess just what I'm working toward in my life. I have to ask myself questions that help me refocus my energies.
- What is my goal?
- What am I doing to make progress toward that goal?
- Do I allow distractions keep me from making progress?
- What is the time frame for completing my goal?
- Am I taking the small steps necessary to reach it?
- Am I maintaining my own personal identity in the process?
- Am I allowing time for spiritual regeneration daily?
- Am I writing down what needs to occur and what I need to do to accomplish my goal?
- Is the goal for me and me alone, or am I trying to impress or outdo someone else?
How are you progressing toward your goals?
I have to confess to you all that of late, I haven't been as committed to producing income that will help me leave my full time job or at least just go part time. Shame on me. I really know the reason, too, and I bet it's the same for you.
It's easier just to work and make a guaranteed paycheck than it is to develop a home business with all the risks it may entail.
Now that I've said it out loud, I can move forward toward my true goals.
My goal is to live and thrive full time at home.
This means making a few sacrifices at the beginning. Doing the necessary things to create a true home based income isn't always easy, but this is what it takes. It means cutting unnecessary expenses, which I have done, and increasing the time I devote to developing a true home based business - which I haven't done enough.
In upcoming blog posts I'll share with you my day-to-day advancements as I move closer to fulfilling my dream.
