I’m SO excited that I probably won’t sleep tonite!<\/p>\n

Here’s the thing. For those of you who have been reading my posts, you know I’ve been a bit ill and de-energized for the past month or so. Well, I’m not done with tests but I AM feeling a lot better… dare I say… “normal”. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

My tax crap is out of the way and off my mind and I’m ready to focus on myself and my business. And right now I have access to the most important tools I could have….desire, motivation…and time (something I haven’t had available in a very long time).<\/p>\n

So, here’s what’s happening. My plan, once taxes were done, was to focus on two things:<\/p>\n

1. Create Niche Research Packs for a WSO and beyond as a service to generate income.<\/p>\n

2. Decide what direction to go that will fulfill my basic needs and desires, which came about after an incredible coaching call with Craig Desorcy.<\/p>\n

The “how” of those two things hadn’t been mapped out yet. Then, I got an email about Tiffany Dow’s Freaking Fantastic Blog and List Building Challenge<\/strong><\/a>. It starts Monday, February 25, but you can jump on board at any time.<\/p>\n

\"ListMy first thought was, do I really have time for another challenge? But after reading Tiff’s posts about the challenge plans, I knew that it was perfect timing for what I’m working on! It’s about list building, making connections, providing value… investing yourself into your blog and your audience… without excuses.<\/p>\n

Perfect for the direction I’m heading.<\/p>\n

So, if you want to join, check out the information on Tiffany’s blog. She’s written several posts that will get you headed in the right direction (they’ll open in a new window so you can come back here after reading each one):<\/p>\n

I started working out the steps last night and by this morning I had so many ideas running thru my head that I was giddy… yes, I said giddy. LOL<\/p>\n

My boyfriend and my son noticed I was excited and happy about something and asked what was going on. I told them that “I figured out the direction I wanna go.” They both asked about my plans AND, they took the time to listen to what I was saying about it. Both said it sounded like my personality, something I’ll be great at, and a really good direction to go.<\/p>\n

I’m off to plan and I’ll be back later to let you know what I’m doing and how I’m doing it. In the meantime, I really hope that you decide to join in on Tiffany’s challenge. At the very least, keep an eye on those who are and I’m guessing you’re gonna get a lot of great ideas that may give you direction yourself!<\/p>\n

Until then….<\/p>\n
