Day 6 -- Coming Down to the Wire

I'm feeling pretty good about what I've accomplished this week, even though I don't have everything marked off on my list of Daily Actions.

One of the Success Ingredients I'm focusing on during this Get Clients Now! Blitz is public speaking. My goal was to have one engagement booked by the end of the class (April 29), and that is already accomplished. Granted, it isn't because I solicited it, but it IS a result of actions I took during the last class, so I'm counting it.

Now, the problem with having that speech booked -- for next Wednesday, in case anybody wants to know -- is that the speech isn't written. So that's another one of my Success Ingredients, and I'm working hard on it.

As I'm looking at my Daily Actions, I see that while writing that speech is one of my Success Ingredients, I haven't slotted it into my Daily Actions. Hmmm. Since I'm spending time on that, could be why I'm not fitting everything in. Time for a mid-course correction. Think I'll take out "Add 5 contacts/week to SendOutCards Contact Manager" and add "1 hour/day on speech writing." Then, when the speech is done, I can work on those contacts.

And, after I give the speech, if everything goes well, I should have a handful of contacts to add anyway. Sounds like a plan to me.

I just finished Module 4 in my Internet Marketing VA Certification course. Modules 3 and 4 were on managing affiliate marketing programs for clients. It was the first time I had considered the whole idea from the POV of the owner of the program instead of the POV of the Affiliate. Quite involved -- maybe not something I'll seek out at this point.

What I'm really looking forward to are the next two Modules on Search Marketing. I love keyword research! What fun :-)
