I need a moment Jan 16 Saturday

Where did this week go? I know….I was sick all week long, barely had an ounce of energy, but still mustered up enough to work all week. I did take Friday off to relax somewhat, I caught up on emails all day long. With Friday night closing up, I hit the sheets with  coricidan with a Nyquil shooter.

Today I am still sick, but  had some good energy this afternoon so I ran errands, took my dog to the park and decided that Funyons was an acceptable “Lunch”. When I left Rainbow today chowing down on those Funyons, I realized I was one of those people that bought into the “marketing trick” of buying the junk food at the grocery store! I was in line and saw those Funyons just sitting there. How long had it been since I’ve had Funyons? A long time. A very long time. I better have some because it’s been awhile and they are pretty good. They are really good with sour cream. I remember eating them years ago with sour cream. Yum, that sounds really good. So they went in the cart. I ate them all on the way home sans sour cream. Hey I’m sick, I deserve something right? I had enough Funyons to keep me happy until 2010. 

This afternoon I went through a few business plans and am working on some exciting things in the next few weeks. I’m doing many speaking events, many of which came after the Star Tribune article was printed. I’m very proud to be speaking to so many people about what I am really excited about…connecting people. It’s really what I’m good at, I wish I could make money just off doing that! Connecting people (networking) is something I have always been good at. I’m speaking to 2 groups on Monday about LinkedIn. One group is learning how to network into new jobs and opportunities and the other is a general FYI LinkedIn presentation. 

I’m also boothing at the Upswing event on Wed at Golden Valley Country Club this week. it should be a good schmooze event for me, I like doing these types of events, they are fun! I love to get out and see folks. 

I also made the decision to just focus on my core business, computer repair…so goodbye to LinkedIn workshops. As everyone here I hope knows, I’m also the creator of Project Link It Forward (a pro bono project) so I’m very busy and had to let something else go. Relieving myself of the workshops really helped me move ahead with just working on Call That Girl computer repair and services. Sometimes I think entrepreneurs get too ahead of themselves and put too much out there. I’m a one woman shop…I can only handle so many things on my plate. The biz is going well with computer repair so that is my core business and I need to focus on that. LinkedIn is the hot thing now and many other people are training it, so I am passing that along as requests come my way. I will pay it forward. 

To close, I’m excited to “feel better” by tomorrow and have a day for me to do fun things for myself. I am going to wrap xmas presents as I’m finally going to celebrate with my family next weekend, do some cleaning, hit the gym and feel good that my energy is back.
