Let's get ready for another great week working from home. It is amazing at how much I feel like I learn about myself through the home based business industry. I have learned so much from Dani Johnson and Call To Freedom Intl. it blows my mind how people in this industry refused to plug into that resource. I have never seen a better resource for skill development than that company. The most important thing I have learned is that my life and my business serves a much greater purpose than my own personal goals and income.
When I fail, I fail more than myself. I fail the individuals and families that I have been appointed to serve, by bringing them the "Call To Freedom". What is the "Call To Freedom"? This is the belief that we are all called to be free by our God. God wants us to be successful as evidenced by the fact that he has designed us with the tools necessary to reach success. True success IS freedom, freedom to live, to love, to worship, and to serve.
This week I make the declaration to answer my call to freedom and to assist others in answering their call as well!
All the best,
Jackie O'Quinn

Time to refocus
This past week was not very productive as far as work is concerned. Last Sunday I was relaxing at Timothy's Fine Tobaccos, a cigar shop I often frequent, when I got a phone call from my mom. Mom, told me that Nannie (my grandmother) was sick and the doctor said her organs were shutting down. Long story short, she was dying. Although my Nannie has been very sick and I knew how sick she was when I saw her at Christmas, it really hit me hard. My Nannie, was a second mom to me when I was growing up and has impacted my life immensely.
So last week when I got that phone call I sat there and processed what just happened and then I made an immediate decision to go home to North Carolina. I called Carmen and told her what was going on. By the time I got home, she had all of my clothes completely packed. (What would I do without her?) I drove through the night and mom called at about 2:30 am EST to let me know that Nannie had just passed away. So I spent the week with my mother and attending my grandmother's funeral.
This has definitely set me back on my goals for the month but I just thank God that I am in a position to be able to be there for my family at a moments notice. This week we will getting back on track and next weekend we will be headed to Dallas for First Steps to Success.

1st week of the year
What a week and it was a good week. I have some improving to do to hit my daily goals consistently. I will work on improving that this upcoming week. I absolutely love working off of a calendar, that is something that I have never consistently done. But, I can see how I will be more effective keeping my goals and daily task in front of me. I spend less time procrastinating and more time focused on the objectives at hand.
This week I also had my first meeting with my friend Melissa. Melissa is a real estate agent who has been Dani trained a little bit. She hit over 1.7 million dollars last year in real estate sold however, her goals are much higher this year. Now she wants to hit 4 million dollars sold. Not a bad goal since this will only be her 2nd full year in real estate. Melissa is also very young at 23 years old. Her and I, decided to have weekly meeting on Friday where we discuss our goals and our progress the past week. I expect it to be so exciting week by week watching her hit her goals as I am also hitting my weekly goals. It's like having someone cheer you on, It's going to be a blast.
Also this week, last night actually, Carmen and I had our first date night. It went pretty good. It was my turn to plan it so I cooked grilled chicken, string beans, and baked potato. We ate and talked and then we sat up watching season 3 of "24". Her and I have become addicted to the show. We had never seen it until several weeks ago, now we have started from the beginning and are watching each season. It's a lot of fun watching it that way. 24 has a lot of cliff hangers every episode ends with one, but we are able to just go to the next episode instead of waiting till next week! I love it. We really just had a simple evening but it was fun and it was time spent together.
Till next time,

Are you are working your plan?
The New Year is well under way. I hope you have your goals and are working your plan. I know I am and I do have room for improvement but am very excited about the clear direction I currently have. I will elaborate more on my goals for this year and my plan to reach them.
Goal
Money = $500,000 by the end of the year
I will accomplish this by comparing my work from last year and making calculated adjustments to reach $500,000. I ended 2006 with some where between $110,000 to $150,000. My average work week was a pathetic 12 hours a week. I will do a little more than double my work schedule by working 28 hours a week consistently. I will perfect and incorporate two techniques taught by Dani Johnson "3 meeting plan" and "building a fire". Without accounting for an increase in prospecting skill and, Dani told me that building a fire and doing the 3 meeting plan will net me a 7 figure income when I get it right. Also not taking into account the increased expansion from our organization especially those who are plugging into First Steps to Success. I believe this will still give me a solid margin of error. Now the key is to stick to the plan.
Goal
Time Freedom = Stop Procrastinating and only work 28 hours a week.
I will reach this goal by setting up a daily planner just like Dani taught on this last Teleseminar she did. I have done this in the past and fail however, Dani taught a really simple technique in which you focus on your priorities such as time with God, time with spouse, time with children, and work. During my work hours I will keep myself on track by focusing on an hourly task of making 15 dials per hour. When I am not working I will focus on playing and having fun. When I am working I will focus on that strongly and not procrastinate so that I will remain efficient.
Goal
Relationship = Continue to grow closer to Carmen
This is a hugely important goal in my life. I will continue to focus on growing closer to "The World's Greatest Girlfriend" who happens to be my girlfriend, by setting aside time each week with her. We are setting aside that we call date night. On date night we go on a date. We are scheduling it each week. During our date we only talk about us. We do not talk about work or business, the focus is to simply spend time together and to have conversation pertaining to us and our relationship.
Goal
Faith = Increase my faith
I will do this by spending at least 30 minutes a day learning and praying. I also have this scheduled in for myself and I will do it each day before starting work.
Other things which I would like to accomplish but have not made them clear goals because I can't do it all at once. I want to focus on continuing to help individuals succeed with their own home businesses. I want to develop a course or newsletter or free service to teach people about personal finances. I want learn what I need to do to manage people's money in an investing account, I would prefer for people to learn on their own how to manage their money. But I realize some will simply choose not to. In that case I want to be able to do it for them. Last but not least, I want to buy two rental properties with Carmen.
What are your goals and what is your plan?
