I have been reading an awesome book which I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to help themself create goals and promote self-initiative.  I have learned that I need to have a really big "why" for doing things, something that is strong enough to move me toward my goals and keep me headed in that direction -- I think that is fodder for another post some time.  For now, I am working on creating my goals and making things happen.

The book I have been reading is called Write It Down, Make It Happen. I think this is probably one of the best down-to-earth - basics (and yet not basic) books about goal setting and creating your intentions that I have read in several years. Working through the exercises in this book I have learned how to really figure out what it is that I want to create -- I can actually now Visualize what I want to create down to the details. I believe more and more every day that what I am intending to create is being created as I continue to hone in on the details because I am continuing to go back to what I want to create and think about it, reconsider it as I progress through the book and exercises. This book also has helped me deal with my own fears of failure of creating what I want and has helped me learn to express those fears and be done with them. I think this book is helping me to really take my journalling skills to a new level which is also helping me to create on a whole new level. Write It Down, Make It Happen is guiding me to work towards my creation and is helping me find confidence in my ability to make my creations happen in "real life." I feel energized as I consider my experience of creation and I believe this book has been able to give my process of creation and goal writing new life.

Slow money

Up until this past year, I have been merely doing small things online to make money.
Last week -- I made almost $27 using one site I have and then another $8 from a second site I play with.  It's a good thing I still have a regular job -- $35 in one week isn't about to buy more than one tank of gas or maybe a couple bags of groceries.  So from now on I am planning on stepping up the online work and actually create a few sites that will make more money.

I think one of the simplest ways to get started making money online is simply to start writing about what you want to do and then start learning and as you go along write out everything you do.  If you start to make money on something and you can re-create those steps exactly then you should be able to do it over and over.
