Hi Friend
I always think of September as a turning point.
It's the lead-in to the new season, and in the U.S. it's the beginning of the new school season for most people.
********************** New to this group?
You can read about my Friday Focus Group and the Friday Blueprint at the end of this message.
**********************
That's why, I think of it like I do New Years... new beginnings, time to assess what's been working and what's failed in our business.
So this weekend, as you sit to write your Friday Blueprint, I'd like you to focus on the direction of your blog... of your online business.
What has worked for you in the last 6 months?
What are you ready to give up on?
I've talked to several of you, for instance, who have been trying to run some Facebook ads to get some new eyeballs to your offers.
Has that been working for you?
I know others of you have been reaching out to do some guest posting, and I've actually worked with a few of you on that strategy.
How's that going?
For those of you who have been asking me if I'm running my monthly coaching offer for the month of September... I am not.
Sorry, just too busy for this month.
If you'd like to work with me to reach your September "New Years" goals... I am still taking new clients for my 60-day coaching program.
==> Details for that are here <==
Meanwhile, get cracking on your Friday Blueprint, and map out 2 or 3 BIG goals for the last few months of 2016.
Send me a quick review of what you want to accomplish... your own Friday Blueprint.
I'll check it over and give you some feedback on it.
Just Reply to this email, and let's talk a bit about your blogging and business goals.
I look forward to seeing it :) 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
