Diary of A Launch Entry 10 Choosing Happiness Now

My newest focus is choosing happiness right where I am with what is going on. I realize more and more that who we are in the present will be who we are when we enter a new situation.

I've often been in the mindset .... "once ... such and such changes .... then I will be happy". Well, I have a sense I have healed enough that I now can wholeheartedly choose happiness right now, even though I'm not in my perfect life yet. haha! that sort of feels liberating.

Now that I'm declaring this publicly, I get to see if there is truth behind my words.  This all sounds good.  Let's see how well I do embodying it.

This applies very much so to my newly forming online career.  My current habits, work patterns, life management mastery and mindset will all follow me into my new career life.  Don't think that "once I arrive somewhere new" then I will change things.  There is no time except the present to make these changes.  Who I am now is who I will be tomorrow, unless I do things differently today.

This last year has really proved to me beyond a doubt that our light and our shadows follow us everywhere we go.  No matter how many changes I made, leaving unhappy romance, leaving uphappy job, being uprooted from my stable home, liberating myself from financial debt, etc etc.  I saw, in each new situation that I was still the same me.  The same victim, the same stuck energy, the same stories, the same unhappy, the same fears.  And! on a positive note, the same courageous resilient woman.  She is my one constant through all the ups and downs of this life. 

There have been some nice shifts inside for me this last week, as I engage in some new internal "energy" work.  the woo woo stuff.

I celebrate the new me emerging this Spring 2016.

I share with you.  

Choose Today.
Choose the Now.

Diary of a Launch Entry 9 Accountability and Laser Focus

This is good.  I'm in the final week of month 4 of my pre-launch preparatory work and training.  Creating my laser focus is in the early development stages.  These first few months have been a bit chaotic, with my energy all over the place.  Learning to recognize how I continue to get pulled to the latest "bright and shining" internet offer.  All the while my OMG coaches continue to guide us to keep our attention on the training within OMG.  Being scattered will only create scattered results.  Follow the clues to success.  Focus  Focus  Focus

David Mills Law of Implication continues to be my guiding light.  "Get time on my side" so I do not rush.  Breathe, relax, stay focused, be calm. I'm not in a race.  Rather, I'm on a journey of building a sustainable prosperous life, being healthy, happy and of great service to others.

I now have 2 "accountability support buddies".  Wonderful women who share similar goals and values as we work to build new incredible lives for ourselves.  One is a local friend and weekly we plan to phone, text, email each other with our intentions for the week.  The other woman is in my OMG group and we will Facebook private message each other about how we are doing with the training, our challenges, and our successes.   

This is my first week I'm ready to commit to a solid 40 hour week on my prep for my first business product launch.  It's taken 5 months, since purchasing the product for my first launch (selling an affiliate product), for me to feel "grounded" enough to move forward on solid actions.   I've been "in the cave" learning how to develop "my offer" and how to get it front of potential customers and clients.

One of my online mentors posed a question today:  "what is your biggest issue or stumbling block in your business right now?"   I pondered this for a bit and answered this way:  Focus, I still get pulled in too many directions.  I have an affiliate product and support to launch it, but each day I keep focusing on more stuff to study in prep.  Mentors keep saying, launch and learn through the process.  I'm still blocked, or at least I'm concerned that I may be.

Then there are the days where I feel, in the bigger picture of my life unfolding, I am handling exactly what is best to be give attention to each day, and my foundation continues to build.  Solid and strong.

Diary of a Launch Entry 8 Am I Worth The Effort

My coach trainers are sharing great wisdom for contemplation, for me.  Now.  It is time.  Rubber hits the road as the saying goes.  It's time to look ever so deeply into why I am not fully applying myself to my business launch.  What's going on love?  Self imposed beliefs I've put on myself.  Perhaps.

Stories of blame no longer have merit here.  It's about me.  Am I seeking to prove to the father, that I'm a loser, like he said to me.  I'm now seeing however, how I just created him.  I came in, this life, to clear that inner critic, the loser, the one who falls short, the one who fails others.  It's all ultimately within me, these messages, and in the end, just silly mind chatter.

It's rather liberating to take the power away from the father.  Yes father, I'm saying it, you are no longer responsible for how my life turns out.  Can I get a hallelujah!

Yes!  No more victim stances.  I reclaim my projections.  Let me use that energy for myself.  Love it!  I can feel the energy returning.  Now I can use that attention to see me.  Is it lethargy I am dealing with now?   What's keeping me from moving forward?  I don't need answers from without.  I look within now.  What is this frozen energy as I approach my launch?  This is so very curious!

I'm not going to label it.  I'm going to approach it with interest and care.  True, I have seen that I need to manage my finances better.  Before I increase my money earning power, I need to show to myself that I am a good money manager.  Okay, so I'm looking at that now.  Doing my taxes this week.  Step by step, this puzzle will reveal itself.

Am I worth the effort?  What a powerful question and query.  What does that really mean, to me?  Does money getting always require hard work, high self esteem and a huge inner drive?  I'm not seeking money to prove anything.  And my spiritual path reminds me that Source Creator is my true source, not money.

Do I have an ideal that everything within a path with heart must be joyful, light and happy? 

To be continued.  I wish to "sleep on" these questions and explorations. More will be revealed.  I'm not pushing, I'm exploring.  I'm building relationship and intimacy with my inner navigator and director. 

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."
