I know that it has been a zillion or so weeks since I have been active on ActiveRain and I feel that it has been for a good reason. I realized that I was stuck in a rut and because we are creatures of habit, I had to find out what good habits were moving me forward and what habits were keeping me stuck where I am/was. So, a few months ago, I made the committed, conscious decision to engage in and get the benefits of professional, personal coaching. Yes, the investment in myself was substantial, however, I realized that this investment would pale in comparison to the financial gain I would receive because of it.
Time is like money - in fact, it is money. Like everyone else on this planet, I have but 24 precious hours and I have to spend it wisely. I had to make decisions on where and how to delegate my hours and due to the huge amounts of “me work” that is required, I had to make sacrifices. My involvement here was one of them. I have made the decision to periodically visit and touch base with my AR Peeps.
Not only am I spending hours every day listening to audios, watching videos, writing with both hands, visioneering, and working on me, I am improving and making the inspection business grow and prosper. I am also launching an e-commerce business with the goal of having it operational by the end of the month. Yes, I do have a lot on my plate and, like the Micky D’s tag, “I’M loving it!!!” I refuse to let an old man occupy this body. I am doing Like Hill suggested, “Write down your chief aim in life, and never stop until you have savored the sweet taste of success.” Okay, so I engaged in some creative licensing . . . You get my drift.

So good to hear what you have been up to! Sometimes steeping back and taking a hard look at where you are and where you want to be is a good thing! I've often thought if I was just missing your posts and should have checked on you. I've been swamped all year so did some prioritizing myself to keep sane! Good to read a post from you..keep us updated.

Good for you, Michael. Yes, time is money indeed, and there really is a point of diminshing returns on here.
I'm in process of launching/doing more online stuff, too. My participation has been much lower on here, too.
We should touch base/trade ideas soon.
You may want to check out my new marketing website called FloorItIntoHighGear.com. It's very new and I need to add more content (and actually create a real home page soon). But, it has some good articles on getting more repeat/referral business, how to start a new wordpress site and how to build a marketing plan.

I knew you were focused on your business and setting new goals. Good for you and glad that things are going well and you are moving in a positive direction. Do stop by every now and then. This place can be habitual and though it has some merits, it is a distraction to what really is important, our personal lives and our businesses.
