We Will MAKE the Time If Its Important Enough!

I was thinking today of how we think of our business.  Two scenarios

1.        Someone is a baseball fan and they want to TRY and make a few games in the season.

2.       Your child is in need of critical medical treatments and you “TRY”?? to get them to the doctor.

Of course the second is a no-brainer, you will make the time to get the child the medical treatment they need.  But what about our businesses?  I’ve heard so many, as I’m sure everyone in business has heard, “Oh, I’ll give it a TRY and see if it works.”  If its important to us we will MAKE THE TIME to MAKE IT WORK!  We will treat our business as if we just invested  a million dollars and are not going to lose a dime.  So are we a hobbyist who is gonna give it a try or are we a serious business builder who is GOING to succeed?

Mom is Always There...And Thank Goodness For That!

What an absolutely beautiful day for The Curwood Festival.  We went and had a wonderful pancake breakfast at the Middle School.  Boy can that boy eat!  DJ had his sausage then he had Grammie's.  Then we decided to wander thru carpetbagger's row and got some great deals.  Hello New Sunglasses!  We sat for a few minutes and watched the AirDogs.  Did you know that dogs can fly?  Then on the way to Farmer's Market is when it happened.......

My mom's cell phone rang!  Real scary, but the funny thing is it was the people at the Middle School.  They found this cell phone and decided to call "MOM".  I never put my mom's name in, just Mom.  Wow, if I didn't do that who knows what would have happened.  And I just reloaded it with an unlimited card!  Thank goodness for honest people!

My lesson learned this week:  Mom is always gonna be Mom!  And I programmed my husband in as "Husband". 

Monday, Monday...Whoops Turns Into Tuesday!

What happened to the day!  Well since my husband had the day off work things were very mixed up, schedule wise that is.  But we did manage to get the kid's room painted and put up the bunkbed, the kids seem to really like it.  My husband put the boards together for the gardens.  Feels good to have some things accomplished.

Well I managed to put up a post, not that it was Shakespeare or anything.

What I want to remember:

Our lives are a direct result of our decisions and choices we make. 

Were do I want to be?  And what choices do I need to make to get there?

"Perfection" is Never Perfect In the Eye Of The Beholder

This is a note to myself.

Others don't see the mistakes I see and if they do, they really don't mind.

Remember that whatever you do, just do it.  Don't sit back and analyze it until you don't do it!  Just do it!

Did I make my point to myself?  Ok, Monday mornings I will blog -- NO MATTER WHAT!  Even if I have absolutely nothing to say, I Will Blog! 

Ok, now back to our regularly scheduled programs! 

To Dream The Impossible Dream...

Why do I find it so hard to reach my goals or dreams?  I've read and heard so much on how to attain your dreams and goals that I came up with some questions.

What's stopping you from reaching your goals? 
What's standing in between you and your dreams?

Why not you?  Why not now?

What are you waiting for?
What are you scared of?

And the most important What do you want?  What are your goals?

Are the roadblocks truly roadblocks or just excuses to not make the changes that are necessary to reach those goals?  And if they truly are roadblocks how do you go around or thru them?  I have found that if our goals are not "excessive" that all are really attainable, but as was stated before it all starts with that first step!

The Journey of 1000 Miles Starts With...

I am a new homeschooling mom, a new home business owner, a new blogger (and really having no idea where to start or where to go with it), and also attempting to paint and redecorate the whole house.  Well, Emily came to me and asked me to get her some homework to do (on her own, no prompting), my husband painted the bathroom (still have the trim to do) and I made a phone call for my business, the first steps has been taken.  I've been told it gets easier but I want to hold myself accountable right here so I don't quit! 

*note to self*  Keep Going!  Don't Stop!
 
When it gets tough get back to the basics.  Last night I had a call to make and Emily was trying to keep DJ quiet, I heard her say, "DJ, do you want to go to Disney World?  Mama needs to make this call so we can go."  I promised the kids we would go when my business could pay for it, now I NEED to fulfill my promise.

*note to self*  Make That Next Call!  Take That Next Step!

It's The Little Things!

Today was a very good day!  The kids got to go outside and play in the water and still slide on the ice and I am now starting a new journey.  Well, several new journeys.  For the first, I've now learned how to start a blog.  I've taken a few days to get it just right but what I'm learning is that if I wait for things to be just right they will never get done.  So I've started, with whatever mistakes I make, I'll just have to learn more as I go.  But for now I've started and that is just a HUGE step for me.
