My planning for the year ahead, or lack of
This post will be one of those heart on sleeve moments. I am looking at the clock in my office and it´s telling me that I should have been in bed five and a half hours ago, the time is 4.50 am..
It´s not that I don´t need to sleep, I do, I´m feeling totally drained.
Alex Jeffrey´s sent me an email about an hour ago saying that it was very important and that I should to go to his blog, so I did. He has made his first video of 2009 in which he talks about his plans for the year ahead. I watched the video intently as he describes how he intends to go away on holiday, and whilst he´s away from all the stress of his normal working environment he will make his plans for 2009 in which he will blast his way to a million dollar turnover for the year.
As I watched this video it hit me like a sledgehammer, what the hell was I doing watching a video of Alex at 4.30am !!
We all have busy lives and have to fit things around work and all the other mundane tasks that life throws at us but, what am I doing still awake at 4.30am. The reason I´m sat here at stupid o´clock in the morning is because the forward planning that I had laid out for myself at the beginning of this year SUCKS like a big one !!
The comment that I left on Alex´s blog was that I would love to position myself as a male version of Maria Andros, minus the earring =O) and that I would love to reach a target of $7000 a month by the end of this year. There will be as much chance of finding a snowball in hell of attaining that goal if I don´t get my act together, and quick. As we all know any one can be a busy fool.
On so many occasions during this course I have nodded in all the right place when Alex spoke to us about planning ahead, what a chump I´ve been. I had noticed from my previous visits to Gary Simpson´s blog that he has a free Ebook about time management, needless to say I now have a copy that I will use diligently.
Later today I plan to get a couple of tattoos on my behind with the phrases KOTOBOT (keeping on top of being on top) and on the other cheek, Fail to plan,plan to fail !!
Sorry to ramble but it´s now 5am..
