100 Days to change my life

I have been reading Maren Kate’s Escaping the 9 to 5 blog for a while, who is one of the well known women entrepreneurs. Maren recently posted her challenge about 100 Days to Change Your Life and hit road block. Now I am wondering what I would do to change my own life in 100 days this time?

I am not as young and beautiful as her, but I do have the same ambition to live on interest and work less than 4 hours a week. Really! I need a guiding light to lead me out of the dark.

To be honest, I have set so many goals in the past. How will I reach my goals in 100 days this time?

What are the changes?

1. Keep extreme healthy condition with more exercise and start playing golf again
2. Completely automate the business and move on to the next one
3. Turn my barter dollar into cash

Really. They are huge goals. I was unable to achieve that in the past 10 months. I am going to get done in 100 days. You can call me crazy. I was not crazy enough to push myself forward. There is no time to waste, it starts now.

My Plan to reach the goals

#1 Get my healthy lifestyle back! Really. I was not really good at arranging my time and execute the plan. I work 14 hours a day, but I only produce 3 hours of works. I am definitely a loser on this one. Now I am back on the exercise schedule. I will go to gym 3 times a week and play golf on Saturday morning. I have done this in the past, I can do it again.

#2 Automate business process Procrastination is so far the #1 killer to my business. I know from the bottom of my heart. I can finish the job faster than I can expect, if I concentrate on getting them done. I have been sitting in my comfort zone for too long. Hire and train the first sales person is a must. There are few tasks need to be automated. The API and data flow are already in place. It’s waiting for me to complete the process in between. It will also lower my cost on hiring freelancer to do those works.

#3 Get the cash flow going. In the past 10 months, I have cumulate a bit of barter dollar that I need to use for good. The idea is to use those barter dollar to trade for marketing and advertising services to help branding my current business and get more customers to pay me cash . I don’t mind to pay tax, but not on the virtual dollar. Actually, I only have less than 60 days to write off all the barter dollar for business purpose. Time is running out.

Winter is coming to Arizona. It’s the best time of the year! Lots snow birds start moving in to Phoenix to enjoy the Sun and to bring more business. It’s also the best time for my business too.

What’s your goal to change your life in 100 days? Share that with me!

That’s it! I am off to gym.
