My Miracle Mantra
I am committed to maintaining Unwavering Faith that I will Create a professional photography business, and I will put forth Extraordinary Effort until I do, no matter what…there is no other option
The reason I am committed to my mission is because I will be able to live with less stress, enjoy my time off, and help Ron in creating and living the life we want to live together.
To ensure that the attainment of my mission is inevitable, I will remain committed to my process of working in and on my business 8 hours a day for 40 hours a week by creating and following my business plan, without being emotionally attached to my results.
I am committed to my mission and maintain Unwavering Faith while putting forth Extraordinary Effort, because I know that I am just as worthy, deserving, and capable of creating tangible, measurable miracles and achieving everything I want, as any other person on earth.
My Process Execution
What did I do today?
I woke up after 6, drank my coffee, washed dishes, made smoothies for Ron and I, and started my day at 9 am by writing my assessment of Day 1.
I showered and dressed for the day, and started work at 10 am. I completed culling the images from the ROTC ball, getting the total number from 800+ to 290. Every 50 minutes, I took a 10 minute break, walking at least 250 steps, then working on a household chore (finishing the dishes, starting/folding laundry). I had left over pasta for lunch at 1, but continued working on the images while eating. The 290 images have been imported and tagged in lightroom, and I started the retouching and color correction.
At 3 pm, I sorted and put away the Mary Kay inventory sitting in the living room, filled my eye shadow and blush palettes, and took the remaining inventory out of the Jeep.
At 4 pm, I got ready for my unit meeting by getting dressed, and doing my hair and makeup. I took the dogs out, packed the items I needed, removed the excess from my meeting bag, and left the house around 5 pm. The drive to Marzoni's takes 38 minutes. At the meeting I went through the list of PCP names who I still had not received a response from, to confirm, by text, if they received their spring issue of The Look. At the end of the meeting, I talked to Anna about the plans for this weekend, celebrating her birthday, and scheduling her son for his senior pictures. I also contacted the previous Senior Portrait lead I have been working with to schedule his complimentary consultation. Unfortunately, Max told me his mother informed him she has someone else lined up. The drive home from Marzoni's takes 38 minutes.
When I got home, Ron decided to make smoothies for dinner, so we watched TV for about an hour, drank smoothies and played Mario Cart.
