Before I start in with the regular Google Tuesdays thing today, I just wanted to say a casual hello and tell you how I am. Just a little personal how do about how I am, and what I’m feeling, and where I’m going with all the elements of the site and life. It’s all more personal than I am able to get in every day posting lately, but not uncomfortably so – it’s all Great News!
So if you are looking for something to smile about today – smile about me. I love attention. 
Or smile about perfect little snowflakes, or beams of light enveloping you in the morning.
Yep, I’m chipper. And I reallly believe I’m going to remain this way. Of course, it’s a little inhuman to think that any person, place or entity can be 100 percent blissful 100 percent of the time, but I’ll tell you what – I’m as close as it gets.
To all you who have sent me a get well wish, who have written and thought about me when I was going through the peak of my back problems, thank you. I send you gentle waves of appreciation, and I truly believe that your good wishes and prayers are a large part of what has made me 1000% better.
It isn’t just my back that’s feeling better either. My spirits are really high. I couldn’t catch a full-on cold if I was waiting for it. My immune systems seems to say, sorry, we’re full of antibodies here, you’ll have to move on.
While I was in my self-imposed slow-down period, I was still working six days a week, just for four hours instead of ten. And what I learned was, almost everything still got done, and what didn’t just got done late, or is on my to-do list. And all of that is okay.
I have re-learned an independence about my own ideas about how my business should run. Who says I have to be bigger right away? Lots of people want to see me grow and grow with me, and God Bless all of you. And I’ve decided that how I’m going to do it, is move forward at my own pace.
If I wanted to work ten to twenty hour days several times a week, why did I strike out on my own? I could have done that working for someone else and been paid about equal for it – I’m still worth a lot of money on the marketplace. And when it’s necessary? Heck yes, I’ll still do it.
But I’m learning that it’s not. Not anymore.
So I’m declaring a revolution against the breakneak speed of the Net. I work best giving one, thoughtful, deeply felt response than three “I’ll get back to you”s or four “talk to the Autoresponser”s. I’d rather sell 1000 books than 5000 if it means I’m drawing people to me that I can take time out to talk to over email, Instant Messanger or the phone. I mean, if people are getting sufficient help from my book alone, Great!
I’d also like to be a part of many tailor-made solutions too.
So you’ll see me around a lot more often, but in front of the scenes, I’ll be doing less. I may not post to the blog every day. I promise that we’ll all live. When I do post, they will be longer better posts.
I may write an article or a newsletter once a month instead of every week. But when you see that article, or read that newsletter, it will be seeded with my heart and soul, and my best work.
And that’s my resolution. To stay healthy, and enjoy greater piece of mind, I’m going to do my best work from now on. For my clients, I was already doing this by limiting the number of people I work with on long projects at one time.
I’m expanding that to the site. Things will still get done relatively quick, but it won’t be rushed. I’m done when I’m done. I will grow when it suits me. And we’re going back to slow improvements over time to areas that don’t directly provide assistance to people, and more individual help whenever I can.
I think that’s better for all concerned, don’t you?
(No, really. I’m moving to a ticketing system one day soon to handle status checks, but if you really feel like you can’t live without money mondays happening at 11 pm on mondays, let me know. Of just tell me what’s on your mind in your business.)
