Reflections

Have you ever gazed at your refection in the mirror as you passed by, then came back for a double take? "Is that really me" you gasp. When did I turn grey, get all wrinkled, grow that double-chin?....(you add what's appropriate for you).

All day you ponder when it all came about, where were you when this change was sneaking up on you? Are you really that absorbed in your work, that you lose sight of well......you?

Today was one of those days for me. I declared today to be a rare "rest day". I can't even remember when I took a day "just for me". The last 7 weeks have been non-stop college and business Monday - Saturday and even Sunday nights I've had to sneak some business or college time in after all my worship/family time had basically been spent and my kids were tucked into their beds.

The income has been steady thanks to my non-stop push, but I have failed miserably at keeping my home clean and orderly. Even my kids have noticed the state of perpetual mess our home has been in as of late.

My reflections turned to possible solutions.....

hire a maid service?.....nah, the thought of strangers in my kitchen makes me shudder!

Try for a 9 - 5 business routine?.....hmmmmm if only my creative juices could be put on a time clock!

Motivate the kids to do more chores!.....yeah right, get real mom! Actually my 11 y/o can be a real blessing with laundry and taking care of the dogs and cats, just not consistently, enough to make any real impact.

My last class is scheduled for September 11, 2007...yeah. That will free up a lot of time. What to do in the meantime?

After much thought, I have decided to do all I can to automate my business as soon as possible. I have got to get PlrArticlesNow.com up and running so that it can start generating income.

I would like to ease off the individual client jobs and start offering batches of PLR articles and PLR reports. This way I can pick the topics based on availability of information and target niche - hot markets. I can write when I have the time and inspiration and set up the batches with downloads of 25 for each topic. This will allow me to better budget my business time.

It would be great to have more time to concentrate on writing for my projects instead of spending 12 - 16 hour days writing for other people, just so they can make money off of my articles and reports.

I love writing! I have really enjoyed writing for others, but I am only being paid once for each quality article that I spend a lot of time writing and the people I write for turn around and use it to make money over and over and over again....making more money on what I write, than I do!

My writings are top quality and I have two kids to feed, clothe and provide a roof for, I should be making all I can from each of my creative efforts. If anyone benefits from my time and efforts, it should be my children and I.

Will PlrArticlesNow.com achieve this for us? Is there another way to make the kind of money online that will support us comfortably?

This will require more thinking, so stay tuned, my faithful reader.

Take care
