You know what really sucks is that I jot down all these great ideas for posts, articles and weekly tips and such because I can’t remember this mornings breakfast anymore, but now I can’t remember where I put my list. So I guess the tip for today will be use the same notebook to write down your thoughts, goals and not scraps of paper somewhere on your desk. GRRRR
Does this mean I am suggesting organization in your office? NOOOooooo!! Am I getting senile? Old?…. *sigh*

Since it is mid year, now would be a good time to update and check your progress on your yearly goals.
What tweaks do you need to make?
What things do you need to start working on to complete by year end?
What have you accomplished already?
Those of us that are our own boss know that the best part about that IS that we are our own boss!
The worst part about being our own boss, is that we are our own boss!
HUH
Working at home and/or being our own boss means we have to motivate ourselves. We have to set our own goals and we have to be responsible to ourselves.
Unless you have a spouse that asks you every day,
How much did you make today?
What did you sell?
How many contacts and appointments did you get?
Need motivation? Get a spouse!
My friend Tara at Ramblings turned me on to a neat blogger networking site called Entrecard. The way it works is to visit other entrecard bloggers found on their site and “Drop” your card, meaning it shows that you visited them. Based on the business card idea, you earn credits as you drop your cards that you can build up to buy advertising on other sites.
It has been pretty cool so far. I have had some traffic from it and will see what it does for this site in the long run.
