What a hectic few days!

Wow! Don't think I've done as much on my www.self-positivity.com site in the last few YEARS as I've managed in the last few days, under the pressure from that "disaster" in my last post. So far I've reworked an old article from my ezine, found 3 article submission services, signed up and set myself up on them and submitted. I also sent it in to an ezine I subscribe to that has over 200,000 subscribers. I'm in major overdrive to build my list. Then I updated my autoresponder e-course and loaded that to my site (thanks a million to my programmer for that early morning stint!), let my list know and am watching the numbers climb on that - gives me a good idea who's still actively reading. I've trolled through the products I've bought and signed up as an affiliate, and found which one I liked the best, posted that into a little sidebar spot on my home page. Oh yes, and reworked the home page as well, while I was at it. I was going to do some ebay selling too, except that without my credit card I can't accept payments or pay them just yet.

One really nice thing - one of the Ezine Article Submission Services had a setup where the first 10 articles were reviewed, and if they all got through you got Expert Author status and could post unlimited articles. I sent mine in, then got notice back that it was through, was being featured, AND they'd upgraded me to expert status. They really must have liked it!

Offline has been hectic too. I've been getting stuff ready to go in with 2 years of taxes, working at half strength at work, (busy at the best of times!) and preparing a submission to do some relief work up the chain. Combine that with my fitness/weight loss routine (the exercise stuff is mostly just hard because it takes time. The real challenge is that as a vegetarian, balancing protein & the rest for weight-loss ain't easy, there's not much available out there on it, and so there's heaps of research I've had to do to figure it out as far as I have - meal planning takes me a while since I'm still learning). Then there's been all the running around to do about fixing up this visa transaction, cashing in my powerball ticket for that $12.50 to buy my coffee in the morning (NEED that break from the computer, and love the walk across to the cafe. My little luxury), taking my receipts in to the health insurance place (they were shut for 2 hours. Oh well, tomorrow) putting my stuff together to take down to Cash Converters to make a bit more to live on. I'm really feeling like I'm in control of my own finances - not that I'd knock it back if I won powerball THIS week, too. Multimillionaire has a really nice sound to it, especially if it had a comma in front of it and was added to the end of my name...

I'm in HYPERDRIVE, baby!!!

(Hmm. Wondering if that last comment was at all related to sleep deprivation. Possibly.)

Action plan from here: find another article, rework that and submit. Update the next two entries for my autoresponder, to cover the next 2 weeks. Research my next recommendation for the home page and upload it. Submit my article to another 5 places over the next week. Get my ebay account running again and load some of my resale rights products into my ebay shop at http://stores.ebay.com.au/Self-Positivity. Plus offline keep the exercise & diet going (since 10 April, I've dropped 2% in body fat, weigh 1.5kg less, and have developed a very nice looseness around the waist of my jeans!) and finally, clean up after having receipts, folders and pieces of tax-related paper strewn EVERYWHERE!

Wish me luck? Do I need it - on second thought, just send me your positive thoughts and wishes instead...
