Taking Business and Life To the Next Level

It's been a whirlwind summer.  My writing business has really taken off with client projects coming in - one after another.  This has been the first week in a couple months that I've actually had the time to just mellow out and catch up on blog readings and books. 

Although I am very grateful for the business, I've come to realize that I prefer to have an internet business that is more automated - the kind of business that many experienced internet marketing entrepreneurs talk about.  I'm aiming to create my own product and have a system set up so that I can have a stream of income that comes in without any real effort on my own part. 

If you're not familiar with internet marketing, all of this may go over your head.  Believe me when I say that this is probably the best type of online sales system to have.  You create a product and have everything set up so that all you have to do is log in and start collecting money ;) If having an internet business piques your interest, I recommend reading my blog, Online Business Resources.

Of course I want this business to also make an impact on other people's lives.  I wouldn't be doing it if that wasn't the case.  I'm just at the point now where I want more time and freedom to travel and RELAX.  A whole year off to just enjoy life would be nice!!  How nice would it be to wake up and not have a deadline for an article!

As much as I love writing and having clients to write for, I would prefer to just write on my own blogs whenever I want.  I'm starting to feel like I'm at the beck and call of my clients. The idea of being able to create whenever and however without any time constraints is so much more appealing. However, having said that, I wouldn't mind the occasional writing project every now and then.

So, how am I going to take my business to the next level?

I'm actually not worried so much about how I'm going to take my business to the next level. I'm learning to trust my inner guide and intuition to take me to the next step. A couple of opporunities have already showed up, so now it's just a matter of taking action. I'm also currently working on an ebook that will help people launch their own internet business. I hope to be finished with it by the end of the year.

So, that's where I stand right now. I'm just going to enjoy every moment of the journey! This paragraph from the book, "Living in the Light" by Shakti Gawain pretty much sums up how I'm living my life right now:

"We are now learning to live in accordance with the true laws of the universe. Living in harmony with the universe is living totally alive, full of vitality, joy, power, love, and abundance on every level. So, although letting go of the old world may seem difficult at times, it is well worth whatever it takes to make the transition into the new world.
