Care of wulfshado: “Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, the devil says: O CRAP, SHE’S UP!”
Hell to the motherfucking YEAH, baybee.
I have mastermind groups now. I used to have support groups, but I don’t need support any more. What I really need is someone kicking over my sandcastle and saying, “Build BIGGER!!!” So I’m in one this morning and I’m talking about what I want to achieve with the website in the next month/year/century and I start with the usual teeny, “Oh, you know, I want to keep the lights on and get some savings and such and I want to hire some assistants to do the boring stuff…”
My fellow mastermind wisely points out that I am talking about away-oriented (i.e. I’m running away from bad stuff like debt and boring work) rather than toward-oriented, which is where my soul and heart really lives.
Where’s all the Good Stuff, Great Stuff, that I’m running toward? Where’s the power and glory and exotic ice-cream flavours?
Not happening. All of the exciting things I thought I’d do once I’d thrown off the yoke of the Day Job… it hasn’t happened yet. It’s all been World of Warcraft and living small-ish.
Of course, putting the fun times off for a while was a freakin’ great idea. The last two months have been short on two very important resources: cash and energy.
But now the cash is starting to turn up as new and wonderful clients are coming in the door and my existing readers are doing profoundly wonderful things. I’m not 100% sure that the cash will keep coming, but every time I have a week of no activity, just before I completely freak out I have a $1000 day and am set for another week or two.
And it’s SPRING! SPRING! My energy is spiking already as the days grow brighter and warmer. All of you who’ve been alarmed at my energy levels in the last few months… well, I’ve been almost asleep compared to what’s coming.
Let the great times roll
I need the list of wonder to refer to. The list of all the completely cool-ass awesomeness I can do now that my time and responsibility is my own and I have all that is needed to be MAGNIFICENT.
To live ones of those lives that makes complete strangers sad at your funeral. “I wish I’d met her, she sounded kick-ass.”
Today I am writing that list. And within one week I’ll be already accomplishing something from that list. Because I’ve done two months of grind, it’s time to start roller-skating!
Your more-than-five minute mission, should you choose to accept it…
Write out your list. Make it long and exciting and colourful. List all the someday-maybes, the I-always-wanted-tos, the when-I’m-wealthy-I’lls… everything that tickles your fancy, no matter how impossible.
And within the week, have knocked over one thing on that list. Let’s DO this, darlings. Let’s rock the hell out of our lives.
You on board? Tell in the comments!
