Yesterday as I finished my to do list for my business I found myself in my emails deleting ones that I no longer want or need. As I was doing this, I cam across one fro Matt Morris. It was a “Motivation Monday” video. After watching this video it left me searching YouTube for more videos with the same inspiration. I found a couple short ones that were great, but nothing resonating with me.

At one point I asked myself why I was looking for motivational videos in the first place… I then went to TED.com and watched a couple interesting videos there. As I was watching a video I saw off to the side a tag that read “jaw-dropping”. Not that had my attention! I clicked the still pic and that began my small journey to a new deeper level of aha moments I’ve been having these last couple of weeks.

The presenter has a way with words, props, and visuals. In 2007, Carnegie Mellon professor Randy Pausch, who was dying of pancreatic cancer, delivered a one-of-a-kind last lecture that made the world stop and pay attention. This moving talk will teach you how to really achieve your childhood dreams. Unmissable. I encourage everyone to watch this video. It’s an hour and sixteen minutes long and worth every second of your life. It’ll move you and change your life. Take the time, grab a cup of coffee, tea, or whatever, just watch it.

How does this resonate with you?

What did you learn from Randy?

This is a moving tale of dreams…

Ever had one of those weeks that one thing after another goes wrong? Everything you do even when trying to correct something goes wrong? Yep, that was my week and that’s why it’s been so long since I’ve posted an update for you.

So here are a few things that have been going wrong. I about lost my housing again, due to miscommunications from landlord, myself, and a 3rd party who is paying the back rent owned. No job prospects. No one signed up in my company. No interview clothes. And meetings that the state program thinks will land me a job. Problem is the program admits the jobs are little and next to none with a ton of job searchers looking for work. Too many people looking for work and no work. Not sure how this will solve the problem? Any ideas?

Man, I’m just glad my son is so busy. He doesn’t need to deal with all the crap. He told me the other day that he isn’t too stressed out about what is going on. I asked why? He shrugged his shoulders and said “I have faith in you, you’ve never let me down before.” WOW – what a statement. Realize this is a teen boy saying this. I got tears in my eyes and I turned away so he wouldn’t see. I didn’t need any more then that to set me on fire and get some mental things in place. We didn’t know if we had a place to stay the next day and he says that. WOW – I truly have an amazing son!

Perseverance is the name of the game these days. So that’s what I did for the entire week. I focused on accomplishing what needed to be done that day and nothing more. I made it through that period and now I’m onto the next, which has been a labyrinth of inspiration, words, love, and above all friendship. This has been in the last 2 days! More to come in following posts.

Thank you everyone for your support and keeping up with me. Please sign up, if you haven’t already, for my email list and lets be friends on Facebook and Twitter!

Until next time!

OK – It’s Saturday today so of course I slept in, I love my sleep so when I get the chance to sleep in I take full advantage of it! So when I slowly got out of bed and had my cup of coffee at the ready I started going thru my emails. Can you believe that at 7:30 AM on a Saturday a bill collector was calling… and then again at 8:00 AM…. and then again at 8:30 AM! Seriously! So glad I turned my phone off the night before, or I would of been one grouchy woman!

My website is going to be an ongoing process over the next week or so because I am doing small changes to it everyday as not to get overwhelmed by the project. So the changes I made today were my email sign-up forms. I have 2 of them that I use as a free service from GetResponse. I haven’t had any complaints yet with this provider and highly recommend then for any business. I also put up my new Message & Mission which can be read from any page on my website. I think this is important, especially right now in my life. It comes from my heart and I believe every word that is there. I also changed my graphic to be very welcoming! Hope you like it, you can leave feedback in the comments section.

After all the computer and thinking stuff I decided to go start cooking, preparing things for the week. In walks property management. Now he is always super polite and nice, but he is asking for more money… I have yet to land a job and I still do not have money coming in. I hate this feeling of knowing I owe money and no way of paying it back. However it is driving me to get to where I want to go. (side note – I really don’t think anyone truly knows where I want to go. If you follow along my journey long enough, perhaps you’ll figure it out!) One thing that this has brought about is a realization that I get overwhelmed a lot these days. So I have decided that I am going to start making my lists again and at least that way I can have a guideline of what I need to do that day.

After clean up from cooking, made home made potato salad, mashed potatoes, and cut up veggies for salads, I headed out to look for jobs. I decided to go to the mall, there are lots of store around the mall and I chose one specific location that had 11 different businesses ranging from sports to fabrics. I physically went into each store and asked the managers if they were hiring “right now”. 2 businesses out of 11 said they were hiring, that’s it only 2. Both are customer service jobs, which means they are probably minimum wage. Every store I went to I got a “no”, I’m starting to get use to the word no! However, at JoAnn’s Fabrics, they said to go onto SnagAJob to fill out their application because they were out in store. I’d never heard of this resource and its actually quite a good resource, however beware if you are applying for a job, it automatically weeds out applications that don’t have the qualifications the company is looking for. So make sure your “job experience” matches what the company you are applying for is looking for. After doing 3 online applications and 2 paper applications I decided that was enough for the evening.

I am going to be doing some Free Trainings. These trainings will be things I have found that work for business, specifically network marketing. They will mostly be recorded calls and you will find them on the Free Trainings page of my site. Please have a look and leave your feedback. I’d love to hear if the trainings I have work for your business as well.

For every no I get, just means I’m closer to a yes… right?

Today I am looking at my life a little differently. I had heard of this team before a year or so ago and have been introduced to them again. This time I did a little research into their story and after tears filling my eyes, only out of guilt, did I find my reason, inspiration, and motivation to look at life differently again. The commitment some people truly give to their children is amazing and I am in a place that I need to reconsider where I put my efforts into making the best life possible for my son.

I can make a difference in others lives, even if my own is in pieces. They are right about making a decision… just one decision. I am deciding that its time to make that difference in other peoples lives, to bring parents home to be with their kids, to be able to create an income that will sustain their dreams, efforts, and make living life to the fullest a reality.

What do you decide about today and the future? What kind of life will you provide and give to your children? What would you be willing to put yourself through for them? What risks would you take in order to secure their future… and yours?
