A habit just doesn’t happen, there are factors that leads up to a habit, unnoticed but it’s there.
A habit is doing one thing once. Over and over again.
Remember asking how I made writing my habit? You asked so you might be able to copy me and hopefully make writing your habit too.
Well the answer is very simple. But it takes commitment. I knew had to write if I wanted to write a blog. so I just told myself….
“Self, the first thing you will do tomorrow is write.”
I woke up and I wrote.
Just one small part, of a small idea, for an article, that’s what I wrote. A very small part, something that I felt could be done easily and quickly. Just one paragraph, or two. Just word put to an idea. Continue reading
AT the most inconvenient time those great ideas comes, crossing a busy intersection, parking the car, chasing a run-away dog. This is why I carry a little note pad with me, whereever I go. Sure I get teased, insistently, at times even abusively. But hey, it’s my blog, and I am running it. I’m the one with lofty goals, not them. So I do what I got to do. If they knew, oh boy, I would be taking so much more teasing. More times than I like to admit I can’t make a lick of sense from my own notes! I can’t figure out why I was so inspired or even what inspired the note. I know it was some sort of great idea, for what would be a great article.

Next time brilliance strikes, and before you put your head on your pillow, re-read … Continue reading
As soon as she turns her back the kitchen draws are opened, a few inches, again. She closes the draws and as soon as she turns her back draws are opened again. So she closes the draws. The kitchen draws, the display cabinet draws, draws in the bathroom, the bedroom, draw is always partially opened, just a few inches, no matter how many times she closes it. Why are draws are always open! She had enough, the other morning, when every single draw, the night stands, dressers, and closet draws were all opened. Slamming, kick the draws shut, she had had enough! She started screaming, “Why can’t you close the draws!” “Sorry honey” startled awake, was all her husband said. Just like all the little differences in a marriage, Internet Marketing, whether you like all the different little aspects of it or not, you have to take care of it, you have to worked on it. You can’t ignore it or it will eat you alive. That is just the way it is.

It sounds like English, but makes as much sense as Greek. Hey, I know that feeling very well. It’s still a very vividly memory of my earlier days. Oh, all that pain and trials I went through still makes my cringe. Continue reading
