Goal Setting Sunday: Week 14

Greetings Blog Family,

You know how we do it around here on Sundays. This is the day that we set aside to access our progress, plan, and direction to make sure that we are moving in the direction that we want to. You know it would be crazy for you to board a plan with a Captain that doesn’t understand at certain intervals, one must check the plans coordinates and gauges to ensure the flight is headed in the right direction and everything is going right.

Likewise, in your business it would be crazy to be the Captain and continue to fly week after week without ensuring that you are headed in the right direction.

For me, that time is on Sunday’s and it is proving to be very beneficial as I am noticing myself getting closer and closer to where I want to be. Where is that, you might ask? I want to be independent from my offline business that takes a of my time energy and effort by generating a passive online business that pays my living expenses at a minimum.

Last Week

Part of this process is to review last week to see how we did on our goals. Let me just tell you from the start that this report is not going to be all peachy as we didn’t accomplish some of the goals listed.

For instance, I did not post the Blogosphere Bigshots for release like I thought I would have. Obviously, this is my fault as there is no one else to blame. LOL! That is the truth. Basically, I got over worked in my offline business and didn’t have the time I wanted to or didn’t make the time necessary to finish up this outstanding ebook. (Please don’t beat me up too bad, it is coming.) I have something left that I have to finish, plus I discovered something new that I want to add to this…or create as a result of this, so I am delaying it again momentarily. The addition is going to be sweet and I am pretty excited about it. I will keep it hush, hush for the moment, but will fill you in later.

Site Flip Sold in 4 hours – My lates site flip GoObamaNation was posted for sale on Saturday and in less than 4 hours I received a BIN of $297! Sweet! Maybe I should have charged more, but that was a great feeling and now I know that I have discovered a flip niche that I will be putting the full court press on in the weeks to come. This flip has been completed as I have been paid and the buyer has complete control over the site. Also, I received some more much appreciated positive rating on my Sitepoint profile. This a great for building a positive reputation in the flip wold.

My second flip did not make it to market, but will be posted this week. I will give update and information on it below.

Workout 4 Times – As you may be finding out, working out is very important to me. I got it in very strong this week by focusing on lifting weights and finishing up on the stair master. That thing is pure evil if you ask me, but it is working because I feel better. There are a lot of stairs in my home and it makes going up and down them a lot easier, so I am going to continue this routine. Plus, I have been getting in the steam room after the workouts and I love it!

Develp my Blogging Plan – This was an excellent decision to revisit my blogging plan as it was seriously out dated. Some of the things that I thought I wanted to do are just way out in left field and now I am getting more focused. The crux of my plan is to flip sites for short term profit, while developing niche sites to start generating long tern revenue. This will assist me in my goal of funding my living expenses from passive online revenues. The short term flips are used as learning tools in the development side of the business and cash on hand. It is great to earn while you learn. I recommend that for everyone.

This Week

This week is exciting first of all because I officially know what I want to do with this site. I want to make it my personal journey site as I build, grow, and develop from an offline business owner to an online entrepreneur. I will just talk about the things I am doing and learning along the way in hopes of sharing and developing with you in the process. Also, I will be motiving the both of us and talking about a bunch more random stuff that I enjoy in this wonderful life opportunity we all have.

Post Site Flip – I am going to hold off on my goal of two flips per week for a moment because I have some developing to do. I will explain below. However, I have a site flip that is a few hours from being ready to post for sale, thus it is time to get that one out there. This is going to be another subject matter that is a little on the fringe as I am not sure how mainstream it is yet, but I am following my ‘gut’ as Normal Joe tells me to do all the time and making it happen.

Develop Site Flip Templates - I have flipped a few sites as of now on five different themes. I am very comfortable with these themes as a result. Therefore, I will be manipulating these templates and saving them in a zip file so when it is time to flip, I can just upload the theme and all of my adsense and other codes will already be there. The goal is to cut down on the amount of time needed to complete a flip. This is going to be a big development as it is going to lead to me doing quite a bit more flips in the future at the same time.

Develop & Finalize Blogosphere Bigshots – Well Blog Family, after teasing you endlessly, I am going to hold off even further on presenting this project. I know, what a tease I am. LOL! That is all good because the development that I have in mind is going to fun and get a lot more people involved. I want my blogging to be full contact, meaning everyone can participate. This will make more sense once I have let you in on what I have in mind. I am going to keep it a secret, but I may release the ebook before everything else is ready. We will see.

Workout 3 Times – I must continue my workouts because I am feeling the benefits of doing so and I am having a good time doing it. My wife and I hit the gym together, so there is more opportunities for us to bond as an unit. This is always great for the marriage and we are both staying in shape with is great for the quality of life that we are creating for ourselves.

Well, that is it for the week. I have  lot more to do as my appraisal business is picking up again, but I want to be sure that I get some things done this week around here at FreddieTaylor.com. It is happening.

So tell me, what is your major goal for this week? If you had to just pick one (that you are willing to share), what would it be? I would love to hear from you below.

First in the Mind, then in Reality!
