Feeling Overwhelmed? Take A Deep Breath And...

Finally - It's Friday. I don't know how your week has been
but mine has been hectic, and I'm ready for a day or two off.

During this week, I've:

- Reconstructed 2 websites that completely DISAPPEARED from
my web host's server. Since the host that I used for that
dedicated server wouldn't respond to support tickets or
return my phone calls, I simply reconstructed the domains
on a different host, and then re-pointed those urls to the
new host. Now, I have to decide what to do about the other
48 domains still at that host... many of which are
experiencing problems :-(

- Did 8 recorded interviews... only one of which I forgot
about until the HOST of the interview called to remind me.

Those interviews were on the radio, or part of various
info products that will start showing up in a few weeks.

- Decided to get back in shape. So I joined an online
fitness site. The site is run by certified fitness experts
who also run online businesses. I get personalized long
distance coaching from experts who also understand
computer geeks.

My goal is to drop "a few" pounds, tone up a LOT, and
eventually get back into competitive running and maybe even
karate competitions. I used to enjoy both immensely.

Here's the site that I joined, and I'd love to have you
join us too. http://www.ironstrongfitness.com/

I plan on blogging about parts of my journey back to
fitness. If you're like me, and spend too much time in
front of the computer, you've not kept fit. That's not
good for your health, and you need to do something about
it.

- I did 6 telephone consultations with clients... ranging
from 15 minutes for a quick question, to 1 hour strategy
sessions. Most of those calls were with seasoned marketers
but 2 were with beginners who had NO idea what niche they
wanted to go into. They'd just heard that "you could make
zillions online while you sleep."

For those who had no idea what they wanted to do, and for
several others than I communicated with via Skype, I had
them read, "20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online."

One of my mentors, long ago, told me that many people who
start home-based businesses just need to get over the
hurdle of earning a few thousand dollars per month FIRST.
That's what "20 Ways" shows you how to do very nicely.

If you haven't read this ebook, I ask you to get a copy
now, and read it today and tomorrow. You'll be glad that
you did. You can also read it completely risk free :-)

Get a copy, read it, and then if you don't like it, just
contact me at: http://WillieCrawford.com/helpdesk/
and I'll personally refund 100% of what you paid for this
amazing ebook. Get a copy at http://20Ways.org

- I looked over roughly $20,000 worth of info products
that people sent me review copies of via mail, UPS,
FedEx and digital access. These were all people looking
for help in promoting their products.

As you might imagine, I've only been able to really look
examine a tiny fraction of this "stuff." It's stacked
"ankle-deep" on my office floor :-)

As you can see, I had a fairly full week. I only shared
a fraction of it with you. If I were prone to overwhelm,
I'd certainly feel it by now.

I don't feel overwhelmed because I periodically give
myself permission to take a break. For me, that break is
generally just quiet time at the beach. There's something
about watching the waves, the sea birds, and children
flying kites, that's rejuvenating.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, maybe you need a break too.

If you're like me, you DEFINITELY need to get more exercise
and to get back in shape.

Why note take a day or two off to rejuvenate. The Internet
will still be here when you get back :-)

If you're a workaholic like me, to avoid feeling guilty
for just sitting on the beach, print out a copy of
"20 Ways To Make $100 Per Day Online" and take that with
you. Read it at your own pace... it's light reading. Grab
a copy now at: http://20Ways.org
