So I've decided to postpone my launch...
Two things:
1.) Life is dictated by the choices we make.
2.) Doing the same things over and over gets the same results.
3.) Work smart, not hard.
Okay I lied, that's three things. So the past couple of months haven't been my best and I've been picking up the pieces from stupid mistakes - whether it be getting out of debt or fixing my relationship, no matter. I picked July 3 as a launch date because I wanted to bring in the money sooner than later. However, I've been getting stressed out by just how much I have left to do. Not only that, but I basically proved to myself that stressing out, living on coffee and 2 hours of sleep a night does NOT produce my best work. The graphics I have on my site now? I made them on a full night's sleep, and I'll tell you right now they beat the HELL out of the first ones.
I redid the sales letter, but it was a rushed job. I couldn't get through some of the parts without snickering at my own sub-par work, which of course is a bad sign. So now I'm redoing it, and taking the time to do it. I didn't even need to take it to the WF to know I could do a lot better - I'm a writer whose works will never be finished.
So! It came down to this:
1.) I could work my ass off, stress, drink Monster drinks (I've graduated from coffee as of late), throw together a website, get a small list of affiliates and have an *okay* launch
- OR -
2.) I could Work Smart, Not Hard, pace myself, get full night's sleep, have an organized step-by-step plan, have more time to get a bigger list and then have a CRAZY launch.
I tend to rush things and skimp details because I just want them done. True, I only expect so much from Ninja Safelist (to me it's more of a viral list-builder), but even a small profit could pay off my debt and then some.
Now I'm off to go put together a "kiss and make up" package for my list so they'll forgive me for putting off the launch. If you'll excuse me...
