Multiple Streams of Choices.


In 3 days, my kids return to school. At least, 4 of them do - the 5th has another two weeks. Kristi and I are re-evaluating the next four months. Are the choices we've been making good enough? How can we reorganize to further push her agenda to spread awareness for Neurofibromatosis even as we push my coaching and speaking further upward?

In addition, we're taking a serious look at internet marketing as a viable option to augment our incomes. That creates interesting choices as well. Multiple streams of income are great, but fracturing your niche can be harmful. Choices we see right now involve finding as many things WITHIN our niches to provide value to you, as well as creating some stealth ventures aimed at completely different audiences.

Tonight we're rearranging, putting both of us is the same office setting to enable us to work together more effectively. Years ago, even months ago, I wouldn't have thought that the two of us working together would be viable. Times change, people change, choices change.

The next four months, the next four weeks, heck - the next four hours - promise to be exciting and new. Don't worry, I won't resort to singing Love Boat lyrics.

Keeping the Momentum through Choice: Pt. I - Change!

Were you able to keep momentum yesterday?

Thanks to my lovely wife, I was able to keep moving forward with my projects – specifically a project for her which you can see at ThrivingwithNF.com – there are 2 dead links, but we will soon fix those.

Along with having my wife pushing me to get it done, I changed my environment, moving my laptop from the bedroom office to the kitchen counter. While I expected to be overly distracted by the kids, I ended up LESS distracted, even though they were in closer proximity. Instead of wondering what was going on down the hall, I was in the middle of it, and able to guard my focus more effectively.

Have you done anything to shake things up a bit? Switch your routine? If you have been ineffective in your current environment, you mind becomes programmed to work ineffectively in that environment, as well as grow bored with its surroundings. If a location change won't work, try new pictures on the wall. Rearrange your desk. Buy a new clock. Splurge and get that new office chair. Just change SOMETHING.

My report on yesterday is available on the ChampionofChoiceChallenge.ning.com site. Welcome to Bari, Haishuo, and Terry for joining in the last day! The site is improving everyday – thanks to all of you!

What will you choose to change today?
