Thoughts and thinking

 Good day to you and to you. Well first off let me say that I am sorry for being late with this posting. I promised to post at the beginning of the week and oh boy what do I do. Not do as I said I would do. Well if you please let me explain. I have been thinking, yes I do that from time to time to check my self and it is a good habit for you as well. However I consider myself a idea person.  When I started this blog I wanted it to be for the new person online who was trying to work online and I wanted to add to your experience some great motivational talks. I work online part-time as you are trying to do or do. I am a network marketer. yes I am new at it, so with being new I am so excited and I want to run and jump and do all that I can. I am a mother too and we mothers tend to try to do to much to soon.  We are constantly juggling things from cooking to the kids to the house the job and other things we do to maintain the house and our lifestyles. Most times we get over whelmed with all the things and the deadlines and project that seem to keep coming.

Well I like blogging and I would like to do it well.  I started Converscity well over a year  and yes it has been slow due to trying and doing the things that I write about. Well this is a new year and I wanted to sit down and look at all that I do. I find that this blog is so closely related to the other I should just combine the two. No I am not going to do that. I have thought about it and some sleepless nights over the idea of combining the two and I first wrote this blog to you to tell you that I was going to do just that but after thinking about it again. I am going to leave it as is and see how that goes.

 I want to monetize the other.  What better way to do that is to get it hosted and have a domain and website with the blog as the central component to it all. I also go around the web and talk and write in many post of other people and I want to do that too why because I like to share with others and that is a form of branding as well. But with the 9 to 5 job I cant do it all.  Then there are the two direct marketing company I work with. Worldventures and Iliving app.  Travel and motivation which they are all about is a passion of mine as well as the writing and sharing my viewpoint in the other peoples posting and groups and forums. So bear with me sometimes. But understand I am always working to do better.

   Converscity.wordpress.com you get to see how I start building the blog into a website and how I use ads and produces to monetize it all. There you also see some of the other ways to make a living online. I am not into the get rich things to do. It does not add value and they do not last anyway.  Most of the topic of how to work online are the ways that take time and work to produce something that means something to self and to others. So I learn and you learn. This blog is more the idea blog. I add in all the motivational stuff, and the places to go get more of that with the thought leaders around the net. it makes a better and more well rounded read for me and for you. who knows I may add this one to a website as well.  you live and you learn and you add to your life the experience of the journey. I find that with some of the juggling of things that I do it adds to the pleasure of the path that I take. it does motivate  me to do more and better.  Smile

When do I post! time time time.

 Good day to you all! I thought I would let you know what time I will be posting to this blog! it is good to know when something is going to happen so that we can plan around what we do, and where we have to go. So I thought it would be great to tell you when I would be posting.
 I will be posting a new blog post once a week here. I know, I know you want more however let me tell you a little about my days and why for now it will be only one a week. I am branding my self and I am also writing on another blog, I also write on my fan page and then I comment all over the net. So that I can build and grow.
Have I ever told you what Branding is? If not this is a little brief description of  what it is. Branding is just a way that you show other people who you are and what you stand for. it is an introduction of you to the world. I brand my self by writing comments and as i do here with motivational quotes and other useful information all over the web. I tell about myself and what I like and what I am doing. by the comments I make on different blogs and other people postings and in groups.

My comments show how I think and what I believe in. I hope you know that I like what I do. I like sharing my views. I also like to write and to share  what I know with others. This allows me to develop a relationship with people on common issues and concerns.

 OK, now back to the topic at hand. I will be from time to time adding more postings as time permits I do also have a day job that I don't have access to the Internet.  Most of my study and research  and work online must be after work or on the weekends. I also have a side business with a direct sales company called Worldventures. It is a travel club. Now the work I do with them is two fold I go to weekly meetings and travel parties and I also market them on line as well. I am a mother of two and I have an 80 your old mother. So I have a house to run. LOL. busy busy me. Smile.

So I am afraid that with all of that plus doing freelance writing. I just don't at this time have the time to spend with more blog posting. I wish I did.  With working on the branding and other ways to make a living online my wish is to quit my 9 to 5. Soon I hope to make this blog into a website so that I can monetize it to help me work more at what I really want to do. That is to work just online.  I currently need to support myself and my family. I am one person and not a team of others it is just me doing this work. I really don't think of it as work.

 I have parked two domain names for the two blogs that will become websites this one will be a website and the other will be a membership site. So that I can share in a group setting how to do things. Oh yes and don't let me forget this too. I am working on a few short e-books.

I am so positive that I can do everything. I hope by what I have shared with you today you can see that you can do it too. If you do you will see what the limitations are that I am under and understand what time really means and again why  I only have time for one posting a week.
 The great thing about blogger is that you can schedule blog posting in advance. So I can spend a day writing the blogs and time them to be posted. I think that is wonderful and a great use of my time. I wish wordpress had that feature as well.

You know when you are a writer you have times that your thoughts flow. So when that happens your muse is on full and you can get a lot of writing done.  the last thing I want to mention is that I don't have many images on this blog.  I don't like to use other peoples stuff I like to create my own. I after all when to school for photography. I have a cam-recorder however I don't like the image quality with it. I am on the hunt for a new one. I joined a group on google+ and they gave me some good advise. a good phone camera. that is the best one since it is always with you.  Now this made very good sense to me. I need to upgrade my phone any way.  well folks thats all she wrote for today. Now as a reminder the posting will be once a week and they will most times come out the first of the week. Smile

The New year is upon us!!

 Hi every one!
Well I see that we are all still here and doing fine or OK!  Now the New year is upon us. I like it when these predictions do not pan out it reminds me that we can let our fears control our thoughts and are actions. I bet on that day that the world was to end there were some folks out there that did not get a thing done. Worrying about what was going to happen!! So now your whole day was wasted and  the fear and all the anxiety was to no avail. I think sometimes when we let fear take a hold on us we are in a way letting our minds get lose and have a fear party with in us.

I think we all want change and can deal with it. But we never want to admit to wanting that change to come. We do not know what that change will bring.  We want to hold on to what we know the best and that is not embracing any thing new.
I think some of us lost something from when we were children. Children do not fear stuff they are ready for the new!! They say OK lets go I want to do this and I want to jump over the moon and dance with the man up there. LOL. Now would that be funny if that could really happen. I think that while we were eagerly learning we were also being told no, you can't do this and you can't ever fly to the moon and dance with the guy up there you will get hurt, and the unspeakable will happen.

What is the unspeakable? The negative, that kind of mental conditioning is planted there and it grows as we do, and it is reinforced time and time again.  The news, other mentors, friends and family. Stories of winners and losers and it is reinforced by reactions of other. This stigma makes us afraid to try something new and different and out of our comfort zone as all ways being bad. We must stay with in the box, we have to control our desires to want and do more and to be  a little different from the next guy, if it means that we will lose something. Why do we always look at the negative? If we want change then we have to change the way we were conditioned. I and you must think of only the positive. and retrain our minds and our reactions to the positive.

The law of attraction does this and will help us move away from the fear of the bad and the unknown. to think positive is a winners attitude. you can see all the wonderful possibilities. You no longer get hurt, you survive!  You grow within that understanding that you have opened so many doors to so many possibilities.
But we must train ourselves. and that we do with surrounding ourselves with all things positive. The people you deal with the things that you read and view each and every day, the words that come out of your mouth and what and how you think. All that will change over time. This is the first step to change the attitude.

Change the attitude change the man or the women. So for the newbie(newb) that comes to work online first you have to change your attitude.  You will have to understand that this will take a little time, but the great thing is that you can do that while you are working on what you want to do.

 I enjoy reading a blog by Randy Gage. he started with all odds against him. but when he changed his thinking it changed him. check out his blog at  https://www.randygage.com He is what you call a prosperity thinker, and you can get some good ideas and reinforcement from his blog. He also has guest writers as well and they help provide additional support to this way of thinking and being. Randy Gages book is Risky is the New safe.

Another person I want to introduced you to is a gentlemen by the name of Robin Sharma he also has a blog and a podcast and he is also on YouTube, he as also written a few books the one I read is Extraordinary  Leadership. His site is http://www.robinsharma.com. He helps others become leaders. Robin Sharma  is also a coach. You need to really view his blog and the podcast.

 Sorry folks but this is a long blog so please bear with me.

So now is the time that I ask you to help me help you. I want to get to the subjects that interest you.

So I would like you to voice your request of the topic of interest for you all. For example, I know some have come online looking to work online. Well there are Blogs, then there is Affiliate marketing,Niche marketing, then if you have a product to sell you need to know how to market online.  If you have a direct sales home business (MLM) you need to learn how to get leads. And finally if you are a writer, you maybe interested in blogging or freelance writing for others. there is so much to do online.

 So if you would be so kind and let me know. If you like this blog please let others know about it as well. Thanks and have a great Day.
