new skill set for internet marketing

As I began to ponder about the on-line businesses I was developing,  I began to think about all of the new skills that I was learning. I am a full-time on-line student, so I thought I knew a few things about the computer. Needless to say I was surprised! I knew how to copy and paste of course, but I had no idea how to advertise on free websites and that there even were free websites. I learned to add groups on face-book for more exposure, learned how to find the new websites, am in the process of learning how to blog. I had heard of a blog, but did not know that every day working  people had blogs. I learned about domains and how to shorten links, and  how to make tear-tab flyers. I learned how to attend meetings on the internet, watched my first u-tube video.  The biggest struggle for me was to use u-tube! I am a grandma, you know, so grandma had to learn about u-tube in order to be successful in a home-based business.

What have we missed in our lifetime?? What is our why?? Why do we no longer want to spend 80 hours a week at the office? I am sure, although I would not want to admit it, that I have spent more time at work than with my family! Why do I no longer want to do that? I’m getting older now. I have missed a lot of things so far in this lifetime!! I have missed ballgames and concerts and holidays with my family, grandparents day, milestones. I probably do not have enough paper for all that I have missed for the sake of keeping a roof over our head and food on our table! It came to me that maybe there is a different way to go about it. Even though I have went back to college and have degrees; that is still not allowing me more time with my family. The hours are still the same! So what is the why??? I want to do something different so that I can, take my grandkids on vacation, have that RV I have always wanted to take them on trips, buy a horse for them to put on this land that I bought, help people in their time of need, gosh there are so many things I want to do. There are so many places I have not seen… soon, if I do not make changes to build my income, I will be too old to go. What if I had a house in Florida, that we could stay at in the winter, what if I had a plane and could fly over to my Mom’s instead of driving four hours on my measly days off. What if I could move closer to her like I talked about. What if when my grandchildren needed something, I could just get it and not have to worry all the time..

motivation

The Empower network call was amazing as always!! After the call, I began thinking about motivation. What makes us want to succeed? What drives us, what makes us want to give up the 9-5 and all the overtime that is required to make a living these days?? Why do we spend so much time at work and away from our families?   I think we have been programmed that way our whole lives, that was the thing to do.. Then I think something happens, something so bad or upsetting that you start to look at other options. For me personally, it was working all the time, all the overtime and still not being to pay all the bills. I had worked so many jobs, so many hours to get by and here I was, not able to pay all the bills, not able to pay my tuition and not able to take my grand-kids on a vacation that I had planned for over a year. Then I got mad!! Then, I decided that there had to be another way...I was spending all my life making a living, but not being able to live!! I began looking for other ways to make income from home so that I could spend more time with my grand-kids, I had worked so much and missed so much of my kids lives. This led me to MCA, to get the dream back and my life!!
