What do I LOVE to do?

You know, the saying goes "Do What You Love and then the Money will Follow." which gets me thinking...

What do I LOVE to do? I know I Love the Internet; Business Opportunities; Financial Independence...but, I know I must be more specific then that...

This is VERY Hard for Me. I am trying to reach inside myself and grab my Worth so I can reach my highest Potential and Be Successful.

What makes this even more difficult is I am trying to do this by Myself.

I just cannot figure out what Motivates Me.

I am doing Internet Searches all over for the best Business Opportunity.

Anyway, tomorrow I have a Beauty Advisor Class tomorrow for AVON. I will be getting Certified next month and I am VERY Excited!

Clearing the Plate

Well time for a few decisions that need to be made and they are difficult ones!

The first decision I had made was to 'take a break' from doing Online Classes. The reason is because I have no DESIRE to do them. I try, but I just don't because I don't feel like it. I still plan to get my BA in Marketing but it will have to wait till I have more Time, Desire and Drive to do it.

The second decision, I am still unclear of. I am thinking of quitting my AmeriPlan Business. The Business is fine; the Discount Health Care Plan is fine. The reason? I am not too big on the Compensation plan. I am now actively looking for a new MLM Business with either a higher Compensation Plan or a whole new type of Business together. Why? I would just like a BIGGER piece of the pie. But, like I said I am still trying to make that decision.

Right now I am Researching ALL my Options-MLM, Direct Sales, Franchises, Homebased, etc...it is not easy looking for the right homebased business. I am sick of playing this card...I am doing really well with AVON and I do enjoy doing it but I need more than that.

I will also be Organizing and Managing My Time more efficiently, especially since I will have a Car.

I need to put my Life in Order so I can Grow, Expand and become a Highly Effective and Successful Person.

Re-evaluation of my Life

Well time for another re-evaluation.

Re-evaluation is good to determine what I need to do next and what I have been doing so far...

I have not been doing very good with my Online College Classes. I am considering 'quitting' till I have more time and desire to do College. I have four more weeks in this term and so I have to play catch up and decide if this is something I really want to continue to do. It is either all or nothing.

I have started AVON and it is really taking off, my first Campaign was $12 and my second was over $400. I like AVON and I enjoy their products and I am glad I found it again. I have decided I need to spend more time working on my AmeriPlan Business. I am going to get my Finances in order so I can spend more time with my Businesses and Schooling. I am still working towards getting a Car. But I have already got that part figured out.

I decided I want to begin working towards working from home. This is important. I LOVE My Job but I really do not have enough time on my hands...and I only spend about 1-2 hours a night with my daughter before she has to go to bed.

I am also looking into better organization and time management. I am working on both.

IN the near future I would like to get back into Affiliate/Internet Marketing but for the time being I am happy with what I am doing.

Here comes the big sigh...Like any normal person, I am feeling lonely :( and I don't like dating and I have my daughter to think about...but, what to do to get over the loneliness? I think I am one of those people who are meant to spend their lives alone...just like my father. Every person I meet is just disappointing. I know that may sound shallow but in my eyes, I see the truth. Why convince myself that they could be the right person?

So to cure my loneliness I throw myself into my work and business plus I spend alot of time online.

Now looking back I cannot believe how much of my life has changed and what transitions I have went through. High School Student to Married to Pregnant in Mexico to returning to going to Job Corps to being a Temp to finally finding a Permanent Job as a Single Mom. My head is spinning just to think about it.

I have work tomorrow and have to get up at 6 am and I am just not tired or I just don't care at the moment?

Oh this whole AVON/AmeriPlan thing has really sparked interest in my family. My brother is thinking of signing up as a Rep and so is my mom to help me make Unit Leader. They saw how much sales I had made and now my brother is interested in it. It is really awesome.

My Goals with AVON are to be Senior Executive Unit Leader and Certified Beauty Advisor Trainer (ask your AVON Rep).

My Goals with AmeriPlan are to become National Sales Director and enroll over 10,000 Members.

I would really like to lose a few pounds. I am doing good these past couple of days with the caffeine and food but I also plan to schedule in some time for that as well.

Well have to try to sleep!

Blocking Wealth?

I have been doing my research tonight as usual...reading about the Successful people in the World...and I think to myself, do I block wealth? Do I have the 9-5 work mentality and am I only capable of working paycheck to paycheck?


No, I don't think so! Then, why do I feel I have blocked my capacity to obtain wealth? Do I want wealth? Of Course!


I have a couple of side businesses- I sell AVON and AmeriPlan. I started selling AVON because I was a little frustrated because I haven't made a sell with it yet. Yet, with AVON I have already made quite a few. But AVON is AVON.


Then I also realized it would take alot of numbers to make alot of money with both these businesses. I also realized that I do not have the right mind set and I need to change my way of thinking.


Anyway, just some thoughts I will keep pondering.

Goals


Goals:
1) Save Money for a Car- Right now I have $319.00 saved for a Car. I am still working towards it.

2) Work 10 hours on my Business- I am now also selling AVON and I am doing pretty good actually! I am looking towards becoming a Unit Leader & Certified Beauty Advisor for AVON. Plus, I would like to become Regional Sales Director for AmeriPlan. I know it is doable but I am still wanting to do more training. Providing Products and Services AKA "Selling" is not very easy but I will become very good! I know it.

3) My next goal is to be working full time from home by next year and have enough for a downpayment on a house. Is it doable? I think so!

Some Updates

Yes, I know it has been a while. I am going to stay on top of it though!

Well, lets see, I spend most of my time at work so I have been studying good with my Online classes. I try to take things a week by week basis since everything is do at tbe end of the week.

I SPLURGED my last paycheck and did not save a penny towards my Car. I am not regretful but it wasn't a good thing to do either.

What I bought was some things that can help me with my Business and I am also trying out some other things.

*I decided to become a Rep for AVON. I figure it is the easiest Product to sell. So I am going to do this supplementing my Ameriplan and Job.

*I also purchased from this other program which I have been curious about for over 2 years. I will eventually try it out but since it is a Mail Order Product it will cost more to profit from.

*Purchased another Subliminal/Paraliminal CD titled 'Sales Leap'
I love using them.

Goals:

-Save up $700 for a Car to purchase at a Car Auction
-Put ad in Paper for 13 weeks advertising Discount Health Care ($60)
-Gain 7 Customers for AVON in Campaign 8 with a total Sales of $150.00
