It’s been a week since I posted something…
Yeah, it’s been a week since I posted something. My life went crazy!
Prioritizing is the key and silence is also a big help!
As an entrepreneur, a full time employee, a wife, a student, a toastmaster and all those watchamacallit hat that I wear everyday, my life went totally nuts for a week. Concerns in the Philippines, my priorities changed, my job, just everything just went crazy!
I really learned a 3 very important lessons this week, 1) Silence. Just allowing yourself to free your mind and not think of anything. 2) Allowing yourself to say “I don’t know” too. 3) And most importantly, PRAY. Acknowledge that there is SOMEONE ABOVE GREATER THAN US who is ready to help us once we open up our line of communication to him.
It’s very normal for us as entrepreneurs to always want to have an answer on everything. It’s very normal for us entrepreneurs to be control freaks. But we don’t have to be like this all time. Again, allow yourself to shut off, to hybernate to be SILENT.
So now I am back to me again. Back to be me again.
P.S.
By the way, in order for me to hybernate, I didn’t write anything on my planner aside from my full time job schedule.
Didn’t write a single task after that. That helped me a lot! You don’t have to always do something everyday. Give yourself a BREAK!
Love yourself! When you love yourself, everything will fall into places nicely.

Help!
Help! I am overwhelmed! I don’t have enough time or money.
I’m running a business, running a household, and running in
circles. What should I do to get my life back now?

It’s April 4, 2010! Where did the time go? What have you accomplished so far?
Wow! It’s 9:43 am, 4th of April 2010! Time flies!
Feels like it was just January 2010 yesterday and now it’s already April! Soon we will be having our Memorial Day, Thanksgiving and then Christmas is here again… How crazy is that? How fast time flies…
So from January – April 2010, what have you accomplished so far based on your plans?
So far,
1. Landed my first Full Time Job here in the United States as a Program Director of Jenny Craig. Doing my
best to hit my quota every month!
(I’ve worked since I was 14 yrs old back in the Philippines, but the challenge of finding a good and reputable
full time job here in the United States when you are a foreigner is not as easy as being born here)
2. I finished 2 Online Courses (Business Analysis and Catering)
3. Accomplished my Leadership project in Toastmasters. Now I am Advanced Leader Bronze
4. Will deliver my 10th Speech on April 13 to be a Competent Communicator in Toastmaster
5. Finished the draft of our Book which we will soon release in the market
6. Been successful in offering Webinars in our MeetUp.com (ErforMe and Lifestyle Empowerment)
7. Increased our Toastmaster Members from 10 to 16 Members (during my term as the Vice President for Education)
8. Had my “Son Dog” Ando neutered, chipped and had his yearly shots
9. Helped my husband lost 30 lbs in 12 weeks and still counting to hit his 185 lbs goal in May 2010
10. Enable to embrace the “Time of Not Doing Anything” to make myself more productive
(What I mean by this, is I was never a big fan of not doing anything. Ever since I was young, I always
kept myself busy and I was always multi tasking and doing 3-4 projects at the same time. I was never
a fan of taking time to “breathe”, to “clear my brain”, to “have time for myself.” Because I have always
been a self sacrificer. Well, since January 2010, with the help of Praying to Jehovah God Almighty, and
with the help of our Simply Effective Planner, I was able to embrace the “time of doing nothing.” Because
I scheduled that for myself. I never thought it would be so good for my brain, spirituality, individuality and
emotionally. This made me a better person with a clearer perspective and positive outlook in life.)
Now it’s your turn, “Based on your goals/plans this year, what have you accomplished so far?”
You can either blog it here or write it on your own journal. It’s your choice…
Remember what Les Brown said, “Your goals are the road maps that guide you and show you what is possible
for your life.”
P.S.
The defining moment though, is finally applying the household budget with my husband every month. So we can go to Disney World in September 2010!
