We got unconditional approval on our mortgage today. That means that the contract for the house will go unconditional and a little over a month from now I will actually be a homeowner. At work someone asked me if I was excited and I had to stop and think about it. I am excited, yes […]
Day 82: Hot, Hot, Hotter! And Not In A Good Way
Airconditioning is a very important subject in Australia at any time but particularly in the middle of a sweltering hot summer. Today the aircon broke down at work. There is nothing quite like being in an airtight box without the benefit of temperature control. We had fans bought in but that simply made it hot […]
Day 81: Nearly Finished!
I have nearly finished my keyword research! Well this batch anyway. I’m aware that for an online business keyword research is life’s blood, so I expect to be doing a lot of it in the future. For this particular round though – the business planning part of the process – I had a list of […]
Day 80: Endless Keyword Research
I’ve been doing keyword research almost every day since I came back from holidays. I originally made a list of 50 keywords to research. The list just keeps on growing though. I research something and then it sparks different ideas about how to search for information. So basically whenever I think I’m almost finished I […]
Day 79: Keeping On Keeping On
Sometimes it seems that things are moving so slowly that I am not actually moving forward at all. At least with my business. On the home front things are racing ahead. We should know by the end of the week whether or not the contract will proceed. I’m quietly confident it will, which means in […]
Day 78: It’s Complicated
We went and saw “It’s Complicated” on the weekend. Loved it! The characters were great, the story was at once both poignant and really funny, much like life, and a great ending. I especially liked the lead characters. I love that Meryl Streep wasn’t made over to look like some sort of … well movies […]
Day 77: The Weekend
Weekends are all much the same in my life. I try to make them an exciting bastion of fun and relaxation, but, not so much. Particularly not in the summer. Summer on the Gold Coast is hot, steamy and just plain uncomfortable. By the time I do my chores – shopping, housework and whatever errands […]
Day 76: TGI Friday
It’s amazing how work dominates the landscape of my life. I’m pretty clear about what I want – to work for myself. I took the job that I have for two reasons – the first because I needed the income and the second because I needed the income to convince a bank to lend me […]
Day 75: So … What Is It I Want
I know I talk quite a lot about what it is I want – it’s part of the magic of remaining focused. And getting clear, really crystal clear. The clearer I can be the more chance I have of attracting what I want into my life. And one of the things that I want is […]
Day 74: People … Ugh!
Sometimes people are just … ugh! At the moment I’m surrounded by fear and anger and swirling emotion and for once none of it appears to be coming from me. I feel happy and excited. I also feel frustrated and there’s that edge of fear but, it’s not the predominant emotion for me because whatever […]
