I did write that, didn't I? Yeah well. I write a lot of things. :) Please don't apologize for commenting so much. Comments make my toes tingle with joy.

You might like this: http://www.rockyourday.com/shut-up-the-two-most-important-words-for-success/ or Dave's blog in general. I find it helpful. I look past the motivational tone and find very helpful tips. It's rockyourday.com. See the categories he has, such as work smarter, etc. Sorry to comment so much, but you’ve got me thinking.

You reach into your stubborn core and remember what the goal was: to come in under 5 hours, to take a full 1.5 hours off the previous year’s time, to DO it." You answered your own question. :) “But you try to remember why you’re here, why you worked so hard.

You know what's happening to me? I'm finally getting very sick of my own complaints and stuff, of always being in the same place with the same clients, problems, etc. I'm sick of struggling and waiting for late paychecks. What's helping me tremendously is reading blogs like yours and those that are specifically self-help for freelancers. I'm "determined" (in quotes because if I truly was things would be changing already and I wouldn't be putting so much off) to take my business to the next level but I'm always so daunted by how hard it seems. I've been comfy and yet totally not. I've started getting up at 6:30 to create more time. I'm going to get a new website and professional blog. I take a walk break every afternoon. I'm going to get my business cards redone (I actually threw out all my old ones because I had a very serious moment of doubt about all this after nothing changed for five years). I've got to SOMEHOW find it in me to be disciplined. I can't resist this computer, or more specifically, the Internet. My goal is to focus on the task at hand and get more than 2 hours of work done in an entire day of trying to do it! I want more clients, better clients, more work, and better work - that is, work I really enjoy and therefore am able to stick to doing. The only thing that's going to get me there is a true desire to change and the *belief* I can. Of course, as I said, blogs like yours help. So thanks! Hmmm, I don't think I answered your question at all. Maybe the last para? Believe you can change? Find a good and inspiring reason WHY? Read motivating freelancer blogs? Oh, this is a good one!

If I were to strive to be an amazing teacher, I would have to work 14 hour days (as opposed to the 10 hour days most of us work), fill my summer with teaching and learning opportunities, and give up my dreams of being a great (at least effective) mother. I want a life. I am a good teacher, but I probably will never win the Millikin ($25,000 for the teacher's pocket). I chose a long time ago that I needed something besides teaching. I feel this is a decision you have to make, so did Papa. Love you Papa and I have had this conversation before – to be the best, it is all you do.
