Never Thought of Doing That

Hi all,

I had someone suggest that I should write a daily blog of what I am doing, what I've learned about putting up websites and internet marketing. I've also had requests to help with email marketing, autoresponders, as well as to put on a local workshop for people who want to learn how to write and market their books.

I thought about it for a while and decided they all fit in with my personal mission statement and my plan for my websites. So... here goes.

I didn't begin yesterday because I try to take Monday's off. I am a pastor as well as all the other things I do, and Sunday's are the busiest day of the week for me. So Monday's are my days to relax, read, clean house, cook and do laundry.

One of our church member's asked me how I accomplish all that I do. It's simple, though not easy. If you want to do something, you make time for it. One of my favorite quotes is this, "If you can be stopped, you will be". I refuse to be stopped. I take one minute, one hour, one day at a time and do what I can do.

For learning how to put up websites, I've learned in 10 - 20 minute increments. I've learned how to take the small minutes I have and use them for something productive. Some day's I have large blocks of time, other days a little time, and still other days no time. I use the time I do have. I learned long ago that if you wait until you have perfect conditions NOTHING will get done.

Today I went through my website plan to decide what I want to learn next. I use small sticky notes to write down the things I want to do for the day. I don't write them in a planner. Why? Because I am a pastor, I'm on call 24/7. Some days do not go according to plan. People are important and they come first. Since I cannot stand to see something written in a book and not finished, I put everything I need to do on sticky notes and put the sticky notes in the planner. Then I stack them according to importance. If something doesn't get done, then it goes on the next days date. Keeps life simple for me.

Tomorrow, I'm playing with templates to see if I can find one that works the way I want it to for my website. We'll see how THAT goes. :)

To view my websites and check my progress they are:

I used what I learned from Chris Farrell's book and video's "Create Your First Website By 3:45 This Afternoon..." http://myplace123.farrell09.hop.clickbank.net/

Have a great day,
