Ignore the flock of Wah-Wahs, focus on what you love to do, and earn off it. And remember: once you get paid to do ???it, doesn’t matter whether someone thinks you’re good at it or not; opinions pay imaginary rents, kids. You get paid to do it, you’re a pro.

Effort is a choice, at least make it on purpose:
1. Delete 120 minutes a day of ‘spare time’ from your life. This can include TV, reading the newspaper, commuting, wasting time in social networks and meetings. Up to you.
2. Spend the 120 minutes doing this instead:
3. Spend at least one weekend day doing absolutely nothing but being with people you love.
4. Only spend money, for one year, on things you absolutely need to get by. Save the rest, relentlessly.
If you somehow pulled this off, then six months from now, you would be the fittest, best rested, most intelligent, best funded and motivated person in your office or your field. You would know how to do things other people don’t, you’d have a wider network and you’d be more focused.
I am a jill of all trades. Some of the roles I play include homemaker, roller derby hell-raiser, indie crafter, wife and mother, and a bon vivant on a budget.
While I still take on sewing commissions on a per project basis, I have retired from creating websites and business consulting to focus on my growing family and athletic endeavors.
