I hit a wall with work but I didnt give up.

Much like before, I hit a limit on the amount of messages that I can send to make sales. I dont know if it is too many messages from the same ip, too many within a window of time, too many a day, what ever, it happened.

I wasnt able to make sales today, and dang it, its ok because Im flipping tired!!!

I had to move some IP addresses and email accounts around, the site that I advertise on lets me go in and edit the ads :D I think Im good to go now. I will be hatting it hard again tomorrow after lunch.

Giving up and working hard.

WOW!!!! What a week! It started pretty normal, I did 4 sales on Sunday, then nothing on Monday, 4 sales on Tuesday and nothing again on Wednesday... crap it sucked. I was really frustrated, nothing sucks more than working all day and not having results.

Thursday nine sales, Friday 15 sales. . . This is huge, 15 sales was a new record ...incredible. It really illustrates how giving up is not the answer. I can probably pay all of my bills this month with just one weeks worth of work.

I am so grateful, because its hard, I want to quit, I dont want to work some days I just want to relax and be lazy. But when you see it, when you understand what happens and how things work. When you have vision to understand that your efforts no matter how frustrating create big results it is really amazing.

I keep thinking back to the Startrek movie (2009) Kirk is kicked off the ship by Spock, he is confused, uncertain, doesn't know how he will get back...then he encounters old Spock, who tells him 'I am your friend, you must get back on the ship and force me to give up control' and Kirk turns around 180* in an instant because he now knows the future, he knows the outcome of things.

Imagine that you knew the future and the outcome of important events in your life how you would behave. You would have the most confidence, your would act as if repercussions did not matter. This is how I must work, I must push forward with the most confidence, act as if there were no bad decisions, just the decisions that I did not make, but most importantly, I must act.

Another day, ok sure I will take it.

I had an ok sales day.  Yesterday was crappy but a day doesn't make a trend, I moved on.  Today was a bit slow though, I think I ended up messing around with music and games more than I worked.  So I know what I should be doing tomorrow huh?

Since adcenter flopped before it even took off I have been thinking of my next strategy.  I think I'm going to go back to POF.  Yep, from my current point of view it is solid and consistent income.  Something that I need.  It should be  30K a year with out problems.

Today I'm grateful for a lot of things, my daughter who is wonderful. Hard work, it really does make your problems go away and oddly enough hobbies.  They keep me sane.

Day of defeat

What a long day, woke up to a sick daughter. she couldnt go to the sitter so not much work getting done today.

My adcenter project flopped, no sales on my other gig either. wow, kinda incredible.

today I learned about introspection, viewing these failures as positive experiences. I talked to my mother, she sounds like she has something right for a change... she is not going to move thank goodness. Im glad that my grandmother is in good hands, but I am not certain how long that will last, I have a busy tuesday :D

working hard

great day with the family.

today Im grateful for my wonder family, my beautiful daughter and my great friends. Today was almost perfect.

blood sweat and tears

After a lot of blood sweat and tears I ended the week with 23 sales. Not bad, but it isnt getting me rich. It does pay my bills and relaxes the stress a lot.

I like to think that I am working my problems away. Money seems to cure most of my simple problems. (bills, debt, the car needing new tires)

This week I am going to review and start some blackhat methods on Adcenter. I think it should work well once it is up and rolling.

I am grateful for my family, my ability to work hard and my friends that keep me motivated.

A vision without execution is a hallucination.

Take action, do it and do it now. Make it the best action that you can afford. Why? You already know why.

You can keep wishing, or you can do it.

Make that decision.

Traffic

I dont have enough traffic for volume, I cannot seem to get my backpage ads up anymore...like none at all.

So now what?

This is my journal

I came across this image, it kinda popped out... made me think about where I am and where I am going. I think I do most of the successful things... this blog is a journal right? ...Right?
