Hi Friend
Do you work more on things
that you're really good at, or
things you're weak in?
**********************
New to this group?
You can read about my
Friday Focus Group
and the Friday Blueprint
at the end of this message.
**********************.
Many times, I coach people who
are working on something that
they see as a weakness in their
business.
For instance, they may be great
at writing, and maybe they're
putting out lots of articles every
week.
But somebody told them to start
creating videos.
So, thinking video is essential
ti building engagement with their
audience, these people might
change the focus on their
business AWAY from writing
and TOWARD video.
But they're not good at doing
video.
They're not comfortable in
front of the camera.
They don't know the technology.
They don't even like doing it.
But they decide they must overcome
their weakness in order to move their
business in the right direction.
There is a big problem with this
strategy.
In order to start focusing on things
you are not good at, you must
turn your focus away from doing
things you are really good at…
your strength.
Do you try to work "to your strength"
or "to your weakness?"
Whichever way you go, how about
including just ONE thing in your
Friday Blueprint that will flip the script.
If you focus on trying to overcome your
weaknesses, try putting ONE goal into
your blueprint that has you working on
something you're strong in.
If you are already working with your
strength, put something into your
Friday Blueprint that will challenge you
to work on something you are really
weak in.
I usually work on things I'm already
good at.
I like to run my business through my
strength.
That means that I create a lot of
content… courses, blog posts,
video trainings and the like.
I don't like analytics at all.
I rarely track links in my articles,
newsletters or social media posts.
I should.
I don't because I don't like doing
it and it's not something that I'm
just naturally good at.
So this week, I'm going to lighten
up a bit on content production and
start putting some analytics into
place.
In order to do that, I'll have to spend
some time investigating different
tools I can use, then I have to learn
how to apply them to my business.
Let me know how you can flip
the script in your business this week.
What will you include in your Friday
Blueprint that you wouldn't ordinarily?

I'd like to hear what you're going to
do this week to flip the script on your
ordinary method of operation.
Talk soon,
Donna

PS:
================== >>
If you're new to my newsletter...
Here's what my "Friday Focus Group"
is all about.
This was the first email I sent out
introducing folks to it.
================== >>
This is not a "group"
in the official sense.
I didn't wake up and
say "I think I'll start
this thing..."
But I've been talking
some lately about how
I use Friday as a focus
day.
I create my Blueprint for
the next week each Friday.
Then, starting Monday
morning, I know exactly
what I've got to do in
order to accomplish my
goals for the week.
On a larger scale, I see
my weekly goals as baby
steps toward achieving
my "Big Goal".
I usually set a "Big Goal"
as a 6 to 8 week goal that
I really want to reach.
That, of course, is a milestone
toward achieving my big, big,
big goal... operating a
successful online business.
Now, to operate a successful
online business, it is necessary
to constantly strive to reach
my "Big Goals."
So you see, it's all too big
to do unless I put all my focus
on one week at a time.
That's what my Friday Blueprint
is for.
It keeps me from developing a
"wandering eye" or "jumping
the fence" for each new thing
that looks intriguing or easy.
==> Here's the thing.
I'm rambling.
Let me stop and tell you what
this email is about.
Lots of folks who are on my
email list = thanks for your
loyalty :) =
Lot of folks on my list have
been replying to my emails to
tell me about their goals and
their own "Friday Blueprints."
Then they follow up and tell
me how it's progressing.
A few people have been doing
this every single Friday.
They tell me their goals for
the next week one Friday.
The next Friday, they report
back and tell me how they did,
plus... what their new Blueprint
is for the next week.
So they've kind of established
an accountability relationship
with me right from this email
list.
And I've seen them grow through
doing this, plus, I give some
feedback from time to time.
(Hey! I usually charge for my
email coaching, so you get a
little freebie here for being
my loyal sub, heehee)
That's it, really.
You wanna play?
Just reply to any of my Friday
emails and tell me what your
Blueprint is for next week.
Then, make yourself accountable
to me (and to yourself)... by
letting me know how you made out
with it, where you slacked off,
where you exceeded your goals,
etc.
Nothing formal.
Nothing to sign up for.
Just do it!
I'll be happy to be your support
and accountability partner.
Send me your Friday Blueprint
right now.
I love my weekend reading :)
Talk soon,
Donna
