My day job is getting demanding. When we filed for an extension on our taxes, it became pretty clear that our financial situation was worsening, much to my wife’s dismay. So I suggested that I meet with her once a week to go over my prospect list and update her on billings. That simple step has done wonders for the business.
My problem now is that I’m neglecting Real Joe. I’m way behind on audio essays. I often fall 3 days or more behind on postings. The magazines and newspapers are piling up unread. I told my Inner Circle group last month that I was going to double the number of Real Joe subscribers every other month for the next year and I’ve done zilch to accomplish that this month.
It’s frustrating, but it’s really no different than a gazillion other people who are trying to launch a business, write a book, go to school, etc. while keeping their day job. So it’s a good problem to have, I tell myself. I believe it for a while, but then the frustration creeps back.
