Focus or Lack there of

Well it seems as though things keep gong round and round …I think I have an idea and then nothing, it hen repeat. Why is that I can never find one thing and stick with it for longer then a few months. I know that I do not have the worlds greatest attention span, but I can stay on task it has urgency. Then why can I not seem to find that 1 thing that is calling me, that 1 thing that I cannot be without, why do I always allow others to supersede whatever I am focused on. Well there is now an answer….it is an easy excuse. How many times have we all said that we are too busy, there is not enough time, other people are counting on me!

It is a crazy cycle of engagement and distraction. For me as soon as things become uncomfortable or “scare” me I back off and throw myself into everyone else’s issues, everyone else’s problems. They become my focus not MY task. I have become extremely focused on everyone else and have left no time to focus on me, what I want to to do.

So what am I going to do about it. I am going to do what was talked about this weekend, and focus on 1 thing at a time. Apparently this tasks going to be much harder then I had originally thought as just after I finished typing my plan, I made a phone call, went to the washroom, answered 4 emails, and now I am back typing.

I think I am going to need more help then I had originally thought. Uh Oh!!!

It has been a really long time since I wrote some thing of substance for the sole purpose of writing.  I think that is why I thought I would start a blog.  I am married with 2 wonderful children 5 and 7.  My husband has a successful business, which affords me the luxury of being at home with our children, which I have done for the most part since our oldest was born.  I have a background in social work, and spent several years as a child protection worker, but I have a new found interest in business and  the financial benefits of business.  This has made me me question how I talk about and teach the idea of money to my children.  How do I answer their questions to get them to think outside of the conventional box.

For the most part, this blog will be the means for me to record and share my successes and failures in this adventure.
