Diary of a Launch Entry 7 Measuring Progress

I love it when a fellow member in my OMG class checks in with me on FB and asks how I'm doing.  One such friend stopped by today and inquired.  Without someone asking, I often will not take time to check in with myself and see how I'm doing.

Here's today's assessment of my status.

Haven't written up my personal review of Feb progress. I did write up my summary for Jan. Hoping to do it monthly. So not sure how successful I feel about Feb.  That's how these reviews help me.  By reflecting on my study patterns, and if and where I am taking "action", I can better access my progress. 

I do know I took some time to clear up some distractions in my personal life, so I can feel more organized and focused, and not have "my life" keep pulling me off track.

In spirit of David Mills and Law of Implication,  I have been practicing separating commitment from action. He spoke about that in his most recent videos that he shared with us in our members area. 

From these new insights I am now clearly committing to take the affiliate product I bought in Nov, and launch the first web site for one of the info products that comes with the program. Hopefully, the plan being, to then see which of OMG tactics can best help with bringing traffic and conversion to the info product.

I'm still not quite happy with my sense of organization within OMG. I learn things in the webinars, and then I'm not able to find my notes on that topic, hence I'm not mastering any of the info yet.
But the SEO terms are feeling more familiar.

Diary of a Launch Entry 6 First Months A Fellow Student Shares

A fellow student that is in OMG, along with me, just did a pretty awesome summary post.  It's so good, wanted to share it here.

OMG Machines - 6 Weeks In Review & Update
http://www.caroline-middlebrook.com/omg-machines-6-week-review/

Caroline Middlebrook:  "For me there are 5 aspects of OMG that I find particularly significant:

• The extensive video based training
• The weekly live webinars with the coaches
• The archive of webinar replays from 2015
• The Law of Implication training
• The Facebook group"

Her blog post elaborates on each.

As you can see, there is good reason I'm deeply immersed in my training now.  I'm learning a new language and a new skill, and the material available is massive.  Every week we also have live webinar trainings customized to help us learn what is most relevant for the stages we are moving though in developing knowledge within the world of SEO, Search Engine Optimization.  

Diary of a Launch Entry 5 Overwhelm

A business colleague and friend of mine expressed great overwhelm and fear today and simply asked for words of encouragement.  She spoke of needing clients and I'm guessing that means money so to meet her basic needs.  She also was processing feelings around a very difficult exchange she had with someone she was working with.  

Here are some reflections I shared with her.

"I know the overwhelm and fear. So sorry to hear about the challenging business relationship. It comes with the territory. One of my coaches advised not to worry too much about difficult situations; clients, Virtual Assistants, etc..  We're not a good match for everyone and that's okay.

I hear you about needing clients, i.e needing money I assume. Reminds me of a video I recently watched of Oprah. She was speaking about the "early days". She'd ask herself regularly "What is the next right move." and just keep moving forward one step at a time. I've written these words in very visible locations in my work space, to help with my overwhelm and lack of focus.

What is the next right move, the next best move.  And take action.

My best route during times like you describe is to pray like I've never prayed. The nice thing about this level of stress is that it gives me lots of emotion so my prayer has lots of passion to it.

Find in your heart what you most need to understand and what you most desire, and then pray with all the heart you have."

Support will come, answers will come.  Stay centered within and keep a look out for answers from within and without.

Just yesterday, I was walking "the river trail" near my home.  I was processing and clearing out some energies around difficult relationships in my life.  I was talking out loud, as there were no people around.  And behind me, a young man on a skateboard passed me, and then turned around, saying he had a message for me (from God).  It was a beautiful message that totally affirmed what I was clearing out  (a topic to discuss at a later time).

Imagine that!  What a delightful surprise and amazing affirmation that energies from the unseen world are present and with me always, hearing me, listening, guiding, supporting, loving me.

We are not alone. 

Diary of a Launch Entry 4 Commitment

Here is a post I just made to Facebook. 

In Dec 2015, my Path with Heart clarified a bit more. and I committed to bring my gifts forward through designing a business I would deliver through the internet. Along with that commitment I joined some trainings, that would guide me wisely into this new career.

Here are some notes I wrote up this morning on this new path I am embarking on.

"I'm developing an online business, delivering services and products by way of the Internet and mobile devices, with special focus on leveraging social media.

With a current population of 7.2 billion and based on current trends, mobile devices will help push internet penetration to over 50% of world's population by mid to late 2016, with social media alone exceeding 2 billion users in late 2015.

There now exists an incredible opportunity to help play a role in uplifting and connecting humanity on a global level, at a critical mass never achieved before."

Diary of a Launch Entry 3 A New Friend

I have found a friend in my Facebook (FB) group for my business training program.  We're talking in the private messaging section of FB.  So good to have a friend here, with shared values and challenges.  Sometimes my business challenges hit home very personally, and not everything do I desire to share with the entire training community of 1000.  It's nice to be able to support each other "behind the scenes".   

I mentioned to her I had started this blog section  "Diary of a Launch" and realized I hadn't made a post here in a while.

I've been so busy with studying the training videos and going on the live webinar trainings, not a lot of time left over to chronicle how my development towards my launch is going.  Do want to get more regular with my posts here.  They help me with inner reflective time on this whole journey.  More to come.    

Diary of a Launch Entry 2 Raw and Real

This is as real as it gets for me.  I'm entering uncharted territories to me.   I'd love to tell you this path is fearless.  It's not.  I'm scared at times, my financial pressures are great, I struggle with doubt.

Prayer is my path to get me through these early stages.  I struggle with focusing on studying the training materials as my life is unstable and cause of much stressful distraction.  My trainers and fellow students give me the courage and vision to keep to the course, stay on path.  Do not cave into the monkey mind fear body.  It's trying to keep me safe and small and does not seem interested in me thriving and evolving.

My prayer.

Dear God, What is the best course of action for me to reach financial freedom most directly, most expediently, efficiently and speedily AND with the GREATEST ease, flow, joy and HAPPINESS.  Please guide me each day for this outcome.  This or something even greater.

I was immediately guided, after earnestly praying this prayer, to listen to Unity's Catherine Ponder Dial a Thought.  Here's what the phone recording had for me.  So grateful.

The Secret of Unlimited Supply

"All financial doors are now open to me.  All financial channels are now flowing freely to me.  The unlimited  supply of the Universe is mine by Divine Right and now comes to me.   The Almighty is my precious gold and silver now."    

Thank you  Thank you  Thank you

I now go into the stillness and feel this into my truth body.

Diary of a Launch Entry 1 The Beginning

After what seems decades, I'm finally serious about launching online.  I've joined OMG, One Man Gang, for a year long mega training.  I have positioned myself among giants.  It's all getting very real.

My interests are many.  Ultimately I have my own project, Heart Plan Vision Portal, that I will flush out and bring to the world.  For now, I'd like to start with Affiliate Marketing and SEO digital agency.  OMG has great coaches to help with many facets of finding one's voice in the world of the internet and to monetize on it.  This year long commitment is what I need to hold my feet to the fire, so I stay engaged and not give up on myself.

I believe in me.
