Monkey Business

Share

We were admonished in comments this week that we get paid for doin’ and not so much just tryin’.  With 2.5 DFTs this week, technically, I’m not getting paid for either. 

I’m a gal with a lot going on, with more plans in my pocket than is attractive to carry.  Every night, I make my ‘to-do’ list for the next day, and the next day, the things that produce money and are in-process business are the first things that get done.  And then at the end of those items, I’m usually out of day. 

So stuff gets rolled over onto the next day’s list, and before you know it, you’ve got four years of projects scribbled on the back of a post-it in a shorthand even you can barely decipher.

I know where I want to be, I can point at it, describe it, have a fairly good idea how to get there.  It’s going to take a radical shift in my business and the way I approach it.  But how do you sustain an existing business while trying to get all this other monkey business going?

I know, I know.  Approach it the same way you eat an elephant: on a tortilla with a side of nachos.

Somehow, I’m doing a lot of trying and not so much doing when it comes to getting where I want to be.  It’s difficult to paradigm-shift and still maintain the things I absolutely know will support myself and my family.

But somehow, I’ve got to get there.

Somehow.
