April was a busy month for me. I set myself two seriously ambitious goals:
- Exercise almost every day (by starting two different exercise programs)
- Earn $10,000 from the website
Did I achieve either of those goals?
Nope.
With the exercise I was so out-of-shape that I sprained my butt and didn’t know it.
With the money, my small resource idea grew into a mammoth website fear management resource that demanded way more than a month’s work, making it impossible to complete (and therefore earn any money from it) within April. I spent all my time writing, didn’t market at all, and sold only about $400 of consulting and resources from existing links.
Am I happy with the results?
Heck yes!
I knew that those goals were huge and very hard to accomplish, that’s why they were inspiring.
For both I didn’t reach the goal I wanted to, but I did achieve what I really wanted: I started to think of myself as someone who does those things. Even if I haven’t put on my shoes this week, (and due to injury and early-morning interviews, I haven’t) I still think of myself as Someone Who Exercises. And though the resource won’t be ready for a few more weeks, I still think of myself as Someone Who Launches.
And of course I did manage to jog for five hours and earn $400 without marketing, and that ain’t nothing.
The plan for May
Whoo boy, I got a LOT goin down.
Wendy Maynard and chatting (with flailing arms) about a new challenge for our readers that could totally kick ass.
I have another half-dozen glorious interviews lined up (exciting!!!)
Squoodles of guest posts
I need to do the last bit of writing for the resource: 10,000 words and counting
I really need to find a name for the resource (The other Wendy – I am surrounded by wonderful Wendys – came up with a name that made me snot-laugh, but I haven’t decided for sure)
And of course I need to launch it.
Well, my birthday’s on the 28th, why not do it then?
Yes!
Right!
It’s a little insane, but what the heck…
The website-fear-management resource will go live on my birthday, May 28.
