Hello anyone who may happen to read this! :) So, I just got this comment from my friend Dr. Bob, and I loved it so much I wanted to post it here:

I just want to suggest that you may want to think about making this a two year goal instead of one year. It is very easy to get “down in the dumps” if it looks like the goal will not be met as planned. Perhaps we should all understand that it took us more than a few months to rack up our debt. In addition, the credit card company will continue to add debt to the debt. So, I would suggest that you relax and give yourself some breathing room. If you can get in done in a year than great. But if not, then you do not need to beat yourself up over it. Look. use the time as a learning process. What does this time in your life teach you about yourself? What does it teach you about “the system”? Look inside yourself and be honest. Then, march forward to victory. You were made to win and you are a winner. Thank you, Dr.Bob

Dr. Bob makes an EXCELLENT point. I am not a planner! I go head-first into things and I cross my fingers and hope that things go my way. (And you know what…they actually usually do, so it’s not such a bad strategy.)

But I don’t plan things out.

Because planning overwhelms me.

I’m like a whining child. I want things MY way WHEN I want them!

And if I want to have zero debt within a year, then I SHOULD have it.

Because the Universe revolves around me, you know!

So…ok, this strategy works sometimes, but maybe it’s not the best in the world. I’m getting it.

I really love what Dr. Bob laid out and how he planned it all out. Because, of course, I never thought of how much I would need to make to reach my goal. And I am down in the dumps right now because of it.

And this is a MENTAL game that I’m playing right now.

And so far, I’m losing that game.

I want to be super confident and say that I can do it. But I don’t have a PLAN. Looks like I need one!

In fact, I’m discovering that I need one in ALL areas of my life.

Do you think I have a plan for my affiliate marketing business? Nope. I’m even looking up meal plans right now because I never know what to make on a given day!

I can see how planning things out sort of sets things in motion. When you plan things, it’s like you’re telling the Universe “this is what I expect to happen” and then the Universe delivers.

So, I don’t know if I’m completely cure from unplanning-itis, because honestly, it still overwhelms me to think about ALL the things that need to be planned out. But, maybe that see has been planted enough to get me to think about everything in a better way.

So thank you Dr. Bob for that. I appreciate your comment!

At the same time, I don’t want you to count me out *just* yet. Things are happening behind the scenes here. Different kinds of plans that may just save my butt.

Stay tuned. ;)
