I have realized that I am spreading myself too thin. I have too many projects going on at the same time and all of them suffer. I have too many mailing list “spamming” me and too many podcast to listen to. So I am going on an information diet. I know what I know and I will not get closer to my goals by listening to another podcast or reading another infomercial type email.

I am ordering my projects according to the priority and completion potential. I will spend time only on one of them until it is finished. I think a lot of technical people have the problem with polishing the product and never realizing that is does not have to be perfect. Once it is working, we need to focus on marketing and selling it. I know I sometimes suffer from this perfection paralysis.

So focus, focus and one more time focus. Do not let your eye off the ball.

My plan was to finish a simple flash game for attracting more visitors to own of my websites, but as sometimes happens - life intervened. I was able to sit down at the computer to code for ah hour at around 8pm last night. Caring for an infant is exhausting. All you moms out there I really know how hard you have to work!

On another note, we are filing our first eviction in 3 years or real estate investing. That is a great track record, but I rather not do it. Sometimes you just have no choice. To have even a slight chance of getting our money we have to go to court. I feel for the family that has to move out, but we can not afford to run a charity.

Now that initial shock of caring for a newborn has passed, I am ready to get back to business. My daughter is almost 3 months old now.  She starts to sleep more at night, that leaves more of the night to work on my world domination plan.

I came to a realisation that the only way to freedom is internet business. Real estate is great, but you have to be there all teh time. You need to go see houses, buyers and sellers. Unless, of course, you are a multi millionaire and can just buy and sell skyscrapers and shopping mals or big apartment buildings.

To have freedom to travel and work from anywhere I need to be location independent. I have this dream of renting and RV and driving around the USA one summer. To make this work, I need a business that will run itself with minimum involvement form me. The only way I see it - take it to the internet. I allready have multiple websites up and running, but only one has potential to bring any substantial income this year. So now I have crafted a plan to launch 2 products taht I can sell online. And one of them has the lucrative “monthly subscibtion” feature.

I am working on the first one already. I will be releasing a Beta pretty soon. And the best part of it - I am planing on giving the base version out for free.

So here it is. How that I have promissed to you, that I am gonna do it, I have no other choise, but to do it.
