It has almost been 2 months since my last post and most of you might think I’ve had a busy period but I’ve actually made no progress.  I pulled the pedal off the accelerator and maybe even hit the break.  In away I felt lost and having the time to look back it’s f@@king frustrating to have wasted wasted 2 months.  I am also caught in a cross-road of either spending more time focusing on the ecommerce side of my business or the affiliate marketing. Lately, personal issues have distracted me immensely, derailing my journey towards my goal.  However, this time round I feel lucky it took me 2 months rather than 2 years to realise I can’t rest on my laurels.  I need to stay focused, work hard in achieving what I have set upon myself.

So what have I done the past 2 months? Basically drank, party and chilled.   The feeling of contempt is something I’m familiar with, and the last time I felt this way was back in the days where I did nothing for 2 years.  At the moment I feel really comfortable with what I’ve got: ie. income.  I don’t feel the pressure what most people working have, pay off the bills or having the responsibility to look after a family.  In a way, it allows me to take risks which I have been doing most of my life.  Sometimes I feel really immature in the way on how I spend my money.  I’ve used around A$20k the past 2 months just from going out: eating, drinking and chilling. I asked myself what I would’ve done with $20k if I could turn back time?  If I was mature enough I would’ve invested it on my business and let it grow.

Recently, a friend woke me up by changing my views on money and life.  I realised I didn’t respect money and I would just spend money for the sake of spending.  I really thank her because she has brought a new dimension to my life.  I know money is hard to earn and I’m blessed to have to opportunity and luck in the past year and hopefully in the coming future this will improve. (and skills I would like to believe)

It is important everybody set goals during their lives.  It doesn’t have to be ambitious like making a billion dollars, it should be something you’re happy with, something you believe worth fighting for.  I think people with no goals would be living for nothing; soulless, bored and clueless.  You might be distracted during your journey, maybe only once if you are lucky but 5 or 10 isn’t unheard of.  Personally, I try to treat these distractions to be resting points or a break, where you gain more energy and motivation, and when you’re ready, you will start travelling on your journey again.

Anyway, my goal over the next 3 months is to improve revenue of my websites by 50%.  Wish my luck guys!
