Hey there, it’s me again.<\/p>\n
Yesterday I wrote about what I’m currently doing in the way of a job<\/a>. Getting out of that job one of my largest motivating factor for why I keep at it… “it” being building my business. The lifestyle that comes with driving a truck and living on the road is one of the least healthy lifestyles I’ve ever seen and certainly the least healthy I’ve experienced, and I’ve worked a TON of different types of jobs.<\/p>\n Starting with the fact that professional truck drivers have a significant larger chance of dying on the job that even policemen and firemen, to the unhealthy diet that’s made available to an “always on the go” population, to the inability to be home to take care of even the basics like paying bills or picking up mail or even sleeping in your own bed!<\/p>\n There are other reasons as well, but until I get my trucking income replacement, everything will continue to move at a snails pace.<\/p>\n The Frustration<\/strong><\/p>\n So, where do I find time to move my business toward the first goal? Right now I use Dragon Naturally Speaking<\/a> while I’m driving out on the less traveled sections of the interstate. I’m able to dictate blog posts, articles, ideas that come to mind, and research. Where I’m falling down is on the things that require more attention and focus.<\/p>\n For example:<\/p>\n This is why I get frustrated. I’ve spent the past 2.5 years researching, studying, testing, implementing, redoing\u2026 Everything I had to do to figure out where I wanted to focus my business initially. I finally know what I’m doing to get income coming in so I can get the hell out of this truck\u2026 And can’t find enough focus time to do it!<\/p>\n The Good News (and the reason I will NEVER understand why people don’t get started doing SOMETHING)<\/strong><\/p>\n I started checking some of my stats this morning and, in spite of this crazy schedule and lifestyle that I’m currently tied to, I managed to make three sales in the last three days on my\u00a0Halloween Costumes for Couples<\/a> lens. I can only assume that it’s being found from within Squidoo because it’s not showing up anywhere in the first 3 pages of Google for the keyword. Also, my Halloween Costumes for Kids<\/a> lens is showing up on page 2, #5 on Google and my Halloween Costumes for Couples and Baby<\/a> lens is on page 1, #1 but hasn’t made any sales. My Halloween Costume Ideas Funny<\/a> lens is on page 1, #9, also with no sales.<\/p>\n\n
