Hi Friend
One of the most common things
I hear from clients and students
is this:
"I get so easily distracted."

Friday Focus Group
and the Friday Blueprint
at the end of this message.
**********************.
Here's another one…
"There are so many directions to
turn that I spin out of control."
Now, these are not the exact words,
but I'm paraphrasing here.
The idea is that it's just so easy to get
distracted and overwhelmed when
you're trying to start or run an online
business or blog.
That's because there are
100 roads you can head down,
100 groups you can join,
100 trainings you can buy,
100 products you can sell,
100 gurus telling you to do
something different…
etc etc etc.
So WHAT are you supposed to do.
The first thing I tell my students to
do is to read these Friday Focus Group
emails each week, because…
They remind you to FOCUS.
Now, by definition, you can't "focus"
on everything or even many things.
If you do, you are losing focus.
Each Friday I challenge you… in
different ways, with different examples
and different ideas…
I challenge you to write a Friday
Blueprint that will outline EXACTLY
what you will do in the next 7 days to
move your business forward.
In other words, focus on just one
thing.
That one thing is… move your
business forward.
That will mean something different
to every person reading this, but
it will mean the SAME thing to
everyone…
That's this.
Distraction doesn't just happen to you.
Overwhelm doesn't either.
People complain to me about these
things as if some Larger Power is
forcing them to be distracted and
overwhelmed.
Listen.
Listen, carefully.
You CHOOSE to get distracted
and you choose to be overwhelmed.
You can just as easily CHOOSE
to stay focused instead.
Right now… write down your
Friday Blueprint.
Send it to me.
Show me how you can move one
little step closer to achieving your
goals next week.
Show me exactly how.
Show me the 1, 2 or 3 things you
plan to do next week to stay focused
on moving forward.

quick feedback as to whether or not
they seem to be on the right track.

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
