New Motivation and Vegas Trip
Written on June 8, 2009 by Jeremy
I took a three night trip to Vegas to meet up with a few other affiliates last week, which turned out to be a great time. I actually left the casino/hotel this time and got a chance to walk the strip, which is something I’ve wanted to do for a while now.
Graham and I also took a helicopter tour from Vegas to the Grand Canyon, which was stunning to say the least. Besides the Grand Canyon, just flying in a helicopter over the Las Vegas Strip and Hoover Dam where quite the sights.
The rest of the tip was a bunch of networking with other affiliates, which lead to some new motivation and got me thinking about how I’ve been running my business vs how I need to run it (aka increase my hours!). I always get extremely motivated after these trips.
I actually couldn’t wait to get to work so I put some time in while I was there. After seeing the domain that Jon Holloway landed, I got motivated to find some exact match domains for future projects. I just picked up a few that I can’t wait to develop, I just have to make sure I don’t start a project then leave it for the next one before finishing. Mike Wittmeyer just wrote a great article on this called: Ready for Summer, Multiple Sites or One?
What all this is going to come down to is execution. If I don’t put in the time and effort into my projects, they simply won’t go where I want them to. I am back to an early work schedule which helps me stay focused. Some of my current projects are starting to take shape, which have me super motivated as well.
Unfortunately, while writing this I just made plans with a friend to go golfing. I guess I’ll have to put work on hold until tonight.
To update a previous post about my 50 pound challenge, I hate to say…but it’s not going too well! I’ve lost on a few pounds, which is better than nothing but nowhere near the 50 I’d like to lose. I’m going to stick with it and try to get back in the groove of dieting.
