Monday is my favorite day.

Why Mondays are my favorite days?

I’m sure that you have a favorite day, but do you know what it is? I know what mine is, my absolutely positively favorite day is Monday. But out of all the Mondays I love the first Monday of the month! Do you know why? I love to start over! I love to restart another month with new vigorous goals activity and results.

Monday is not truly the first day of the week, that would be Sunday.  But Monday is the first day of my work week.  Waking up on a  Monday after a great sleep brings me more to life.  I love waking up, looking at what I have achieved and what I can do to do better.

To me spring its self is the best time of the year. In Texas spring is amazing, the new growth that takes place. Its green and warm,There are even those amazing bluebonnets.  I love bluebonnets.  I could have this weather all year long, around 80 and easy to keep moving and off the computer.  Today is spring, its the first Monday of the month and all things are right with the world!

What an amazing day to be alive!

How will a great Monday will help me create the results I want through out the entire month.

I operate almost like Monday ( which officially is not the first day of the week, Sunday is) But I treat it as if it were a mini new years.

Here are my top things to do on a Monday  to create the best results through out the week month and year.

1. Every Monday I wake up and get organized, clean up things around you like your computer desktop, your desk any work area that is driving you crazy. Make sure to get rid of the things that distract you from what you should be doing.
2.  Rethink the goals! Go over what you set last Monday and what your results are. Its then time to see if am I on the right path and need to re-promise an activity goal, or reevalutate that activity goal. I look at my numbers and see what I need to improve on and what I need to STOP!

3. Set new productivity and activity goals for this week and month. This is where my Monday is crucial to my success. I always take in consideration what I did in #2 and look at if I need to re-promise a goal or rethink it or increase that goal. Remember in your goals, give yourself a gain, In other words if you are going to increase your business by 10 new customers. What are you going to do for yourself when you get that done?

4. Get to work! Monday is only one day of the week, it really matters what you do on Tuesday and beyond that will make this plan work.  The one thing I find in all industries, is that we can set goals great, but getting to work is the one thing that does not happen. The goals we really want to accomplish will be the ones we get to work on.

 Tools you need to create a great Monday each and every week

To set goals there are systems that you can use to create great goals. For my schedule, I always use Google calendar, I can share my schedule or portions with others that I work with. To track my goals. I use two systems. I use a spreadsheet to set up my goals. If you do not have office this is a free version that does almost everything the paid version does. I also use an app for my phone. 

Monday can be the game changer in life.  If you are looking for the game changer, and need serious results in your life, and your business.  Lets talk.

Write a blog – takes more than just knowledge about a subject.  You have to have a plan.

How to write a blog.

So, do you really know what it takes to write a blog?

Blogs are everywhere, blogging is almost a subculture.  But there is a difference in having one that is successful and one that is unknown.  But most people do not know the difference and are not willing to do the work to create the traffic.  You are looking for a way that you can write a blog.  I have no idea why you are looking to do this or even if you have the skills, but I know that you can learn to write a blog. It does not matter what your skills are today if you are willing to learn.  The one thing that will help you write a blog that is successful is desire.

Some people write just because they love to write, and then others have an agenda. I personally love to connect with people. I believe we were put on the big ball of dirt by our creator to have honest authentic relationships with each other.

What tools and skills it takes to write a blog.

Blogging is not for everyone.  I am asked all the time what it takes to write a blog.  In fact my youngest daughter has been asking me to help her write a blog for a long time, so we finally got it put together this week.  Now It will take her just like it will take you certain actions to keep her blog up and make it the blog she wants it to be.  But this is not about her blog this about your blog and if you are going to write a blog, or if you are going to give up your dream.

Things that you need to think about before you decide to write a blog.

1. Why are you looking to write a blog. what is your objective?

2. How much time are you willing to put into you blog?

3. Are you going to host your blog or do you want a way to blog for free?

4.  Do you want to make money with you blog or is it for a personal reason?

5. Is this blog for a existing business?

6. Are you looking to expand your social media?

7. Do you need to increase your skills?  How techie are you?  Would you know how to use html?

Looking at blogging from an objective point of view.  Should I really write a blog?

You have answered the questions above, or I hope you have.  You have a view on what you are getting ready to do.

Plans are only 10% of success.  If you decide to write a blog you will need to follow up on your plans and understand what it takes to be successful.

You will need to increase your skills no matter what your skills are today, you will need to have a team of people who can help you.

You will need to know why you willing to put the time energy and expense into this activity, and what you are wanting achieve. Are you building a business, educating others on a subject, finding a niche of people who love to do a sport. Only you can know what your goal is. Create a document with this information in it, one you can edit from time to time.

It will be important to set a schedule and commitment on how often you will blog. Blogging is fun, and writing your thoughts out at least for me, well its inspirational. But everyone gets busy and most blogs in the world , have a few posts and then they are never touched again. To not be just another failed blog, you need to know when where and how often you are going to write.  That is if you really want to write a blog.

There are many tools you will need to help your blog be seen.  Increasing that knowledge is imperative to long term success. Social media will be important as well as offline marketing.

Only you can say how important it is for you to write a blog.  I have included some links that have helped me write my blog and this is a link to help you as well.  That is if you are truly serious about writing a blog and creating an extra source of income.
