Hi Friend
TGIF
There is a special feeling on Friday.
I get it, even though I work exclusively here on the internet.
When you have a job, Friday means time for yourself, a paycheck, etc.
But even if you are living the laptop lifestyle, Friday still has that “freeing feeling”
********************** New to this group?
You can read about my Friday Focus Group and the Friday Blueprint at the end of this message.
**********************.
It's the end of the week and "what to do on the weekend" goes though my mind.
Does it go through yours?
See…most of the population work 9-5 and on the weekends families get together…f riends may invite you over…things like that.
This keeps that special Friday feeling alive and well.
But people like you come to this Friday Focus newsletter to be reminded to schedule out the most important things they are going to accomplish, starting with Monday.
That's what I call your Friday Blueprint.
It's a schedule of exactly what you intend to do next week to move your business forward.
Every week people send me their Friday Blueprints, and every week I respond to them.
I give them some quick feedback as to whether or not they seem to be on the right track to online success.
THE REASON I encourage you to write this blueprint on Friday is that I know…
Once you get caught up in the fun and frolic of the weekend, you'll lose focus with what you need to do in your business.
Then Monday morning comes, you have no idea what to do next, so you waste time figuring it out.
By the time you get your mind "back on track"… it's Wednesday.
Then, right around the corner, it's Friday again.
You see, week after week just slips by and you look back 6 months later and think of how little you've actually accomplished.
BELIEVE ME…
If you get in the habit of writing a Friday Blueprint, and then pull it out Monday morning and start working on it, all that will change.
6 months from today, you will look back and be amazed at how much you've accomplished.
So my question to you today is “Do you get that Friday feeling?”
I do.
Hey…the weekend is approaching and there is so much going on.
Sports, October festivals, Pumpkins… all hat sort of thing here in the U.S.
It is harvest season and there is much hoopla every weekend.
I get involved in some of it.
But BEFORE I allow myself to let down and join the fun, I take a lousy 15 minutes on Friday, and plan my week ahead.
So, if you've been doing it along with me, then this is your reminder…
It's Friday… write your Friday Blueprint now.

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
