Monday, October 6th

Start of a new week and it's Mom's Birthday so I can't forget to call her.

I have promised my wife to give me two weeks to make enough money working for myself that I can meet or exceed $350 a week. Doing the math on that, means that I need make four sales each week. Therefore, my goal should be to reach five sales a week.

This is attainable, provided that I finally go through every business card I have and make calls for appointments, followup, follow through and get all the paper work finished in a timely manner.

1) Make minimum of 5 appointments a day to close 5 sales a week
2) Go for walk
3) Do something around the house to help, like the garage.
4) Keep trying to cut out fat in my diet.

So today I will make go for a walk with my son or wife, my appointments and cut the lawn.

If I am to go back to school to retrain, I have decided to take the web designer course.

6PM. Had some success but not really....walked the dog, blew diet, to lazy to lift a finger, failed to call any new clients or book appointments. Kids , My wife and I are all stressed with the new custody arrangements and the kids aren't speaking to each other.

Well it's been 4 years since my last post

I am quite fascinated that since my initial posts 4 years ago, not much has changed in my work, finances, & home life.

My wife and I are very much in love, my daughter now lives with us full time, my son is still doing the 2 week transfer between homes, we sold the cottage, pay child support to my wife's Ex, got a consumer proposal to manage the repayment of our debts, still have the house, had an accident that wrote of the Van and am driving a price of shit. Still broke and living hand and mouth. My career since has been bouncing from one job to the next and I am still selling other peoples product to make a commission. Currently I have been marketing myself as an Internet Marketing Consultant having teamed up with a website owner who pays me for each sale. I am now working to develop myself and rebrand as my own company. So far it's just preliminary but I am feeling more confident that I can make a better living than I am now.

What I have learned from reading the blogs from 2004 is that I am still faced with the same problems. What I like about the 2004 blogs is that I set benchmark goals to meet on a daily basis. I would like to adapt that process again into my daily life starting now.

So, here it goes.......I weigh 230, need to walk the dog, garage is a mess, outdoors is a mess, house repair is a mess, work progress is not structured and still prone to chronic procrastination.......sound familiar??? LOL

Starting now, and hopefully lasting more than one month, I will structure my day to progress in each of 4 areas of my life.

1) Make minimum of 5 appointments a day to close 5 sales a week
2) Go for walk
3) Do something around the house to help, like the garage.
4) Keep trying to cut out fat in my diet.
