			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, I will be turning 49 on Thursday and with everything going on, I didn&#8217;t set any goals earlier for my 49 Day Challenge. Last year was a rough year with working two full time jobs, various losses, and having problems with my oldest daughter that she has chosen not to resolve with me. This year started out with me joining the many whose house was foreclosed on and had to move. I wonder if life will keep being one big challenge after another. I wonder how I get ever invest time in my internet ventures so that they can reach their potential. I wonder if I will ever reach <em>my</em> potential!</p>
<p>With all the stress over the past year and the changes, I thought when it was over I could just jump back into my internet ventures. I tried hard but would fall asleep early and was not able to focus on writing. I was frustrated. What I didn&#8217;t realize was that even though I felt ready&#8230;&#8230;.I was <em>no</em>t ready just yet. I didn&#8217;t give myself time to be renewed, rested, and refreshed. I gave up and stopped fighting a loosing battle. I took a little time and did the following for a few weeks:</p>
<ul>
<li>Spent time with family</li>
<li>Watched some movies</li>
<li>Took some walks</li>
<li>Visited with friends</li>
<li>Got on the internet for fun</li>
<li>Went to bed early</li>
<li>Made my new house my <em>hom</em>e</li>
</ul>
<p>I set a goal for getting back on previous paths&#8230;&#8230; it is <em>today</em>! One important path that I was on, was my path to become a full time writer. I haven&#8217;t written for awhile and there is of course the drop in income since I haven&#8217;t been writing for pay or even myself, but the real loss is the personal sanctification and enjoyment I get from writing.<br />
So now that I have pondered my entrepreneurial life (well, lack of it)&#8230;..now what!</p>
<p>Now that I took my entrepreneurial break, I&#8217;m hoping the energy will be there to get back and moving again on my paths to finacial freedom!</p>
<p>Well, I have a few goals for today, my day off:</p>
<ul>
<li>Write for pay and get some long over due articles out</li>
<li>Add a few posts to <a href="http://2gr8ideas.com/save/" title="365 ways to save" target="_blank">365 Ways to Save</a></li>
<li>Write and accept writing jobs for new clients</li>
</ul>
<p>So this is my shortened version of the 49 Day Challenge. I guess it is more like a 49 hour challenge until I turn 49! <img src='http://jansideas.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  One goal I wanted to reach during my 49 Day Challenge was getting another check from Adsense, it has been very slow going since the last one. I finally hit $100 so I will get a check next month <img src='http://jansideas.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  . I have been having more steady (though still very small) earnings on my Adsense. There has also been a growing increase.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to create a big challenge for my last year of being in my 40&#8242;s. By 50 I want to see some major advances to being an internet entrepreneur and achieving financial freedom.</p>
<p>For now&#8230;..off to writing!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I went to check to see what goals I had set for myself and my internet projects and found that I didn&#8217;t have any. I waited until before my birthday to set goals. I know that with the personal situation that began the end of March, I didn&#8217;t come close to reaching those goals for my internet projects. I got some started and it made a difference in my internet income. I always do well after one of my birthday challenges. I need to do that 2-4 times per year to keep my internet income steady, instead of just once per year.</p>
<p>After I get through the next couple weeks I have decided I really want to do a 49 day challenge-49 days until I turn 49. I&#8217;ll be thinking about that the next few weeks.</p>
