Welcome to Another Weekly Roundup on MDC
First I want to update you on my High Five Moments this week:
- I Published a new squidoo lens
- I edited my articles for my PLR site
- I added 2 new posts to my Two Pretty Thnigs site
- I inspired a friend to take action
- I did my video vlog thing
My Squidoo Lens
This week I was thinking about all the stuff I have and what I need to get rid of. This inspired my squidoo lens. It is Declutter Your Life and Home.
I have taken baby steps with my decluttering. I have emptied my chest of drawers, removing items that no longer fit or that are torn.
I have also tidied up the ridiculous amount of paper debris that always seems to end up on the floor next to my bed. I write countless notes to myself and have my books and notepads nearby.
It is a constant task to keep the paper monster at bay. lol.
The Articles for My PLR Site
I now have all my articles together and today I edited them all. I actually had this task down for Wednesday but I let the fear of failure grip me. I kept thinking, what if no-one buys these articles? What if I am just wasting my time? What if I am no good at running a PLR website?
All those thoughts stopped me for doing the work. I am happy to say that I was still productive and managed to write and publish two other blog posts. However it was a worry. What if I couldn’t get over this fear?
Thankfully, I woke up on Saturday with vim and vigour and a sense of conviction. I decided that I needed to work on getting my PLR store in order for me. Perhaps people will not buy but how will I know if I don’t even try? There are only two options:
- It works and I make money
- It doesn’t work and I can then evaluate what I need to do next?
It is difficult to stop yourself from creating problems and barriers that may even materialise. The one thought that also helped was “PLR is not a life or death situation – No-one will be injured if it isn’t 100% perfect. lol.
My 2 New Posts on My Other Website
So here are the links to the posts I wrote when I should have been working on my PLR store.
I Inspired a Friend to Take Action
Sometimes it is the action that you take that helps others to make their own life changes. I met up with a dear friend of mine and I was so excited to tell her about this being “My Year of Doing”, all the things I wanted to achieve and the things that I had already achieved.
She was so happy with my positive outlook for 2013, that she told me about a couple of things that she would like to change. Just letting her know about my own situation enabled her to feel that what she wanted to do was actually possible. This made me feel wonderful. I told her that I would check up on her to make sure she followed through on her own mini “to do” list.
That is one of the reasons why I am writing down my own list of accomplishments right here. If at least one person can get inspired by seeing what I, a real life procrastinator, can achieve, then it is definitely worth it.
My Weekly Roundup Video
I got it done. I am trying to spread a little positivity and motivation with this vlog. Here goes

Thanks Tiff – I felt good about last week’s efforts. Let’s hope this week measures up.
Hi Victoria
Well done on your efforts! My biggest moment was (successfully) installing a WordPress site manually!! Woo hoo
I’m becoming wiser with Squidoo now, just have to get some more lenses up ……… everything’s starting to fall into place. I haven’t had a bad first month 
My PLR store is next on my list of things to tackle. I could be listening to myself when I hear you and your fears!! I have quite a lot of PLR waiting to be loaded, just need to work out how it all works. This is DEFINITELY the year of taking action for me
And as for clutter ……… I swear paper breeds in my office! And my husband thinks that books breed by my bed
He can’t understand how I can have more than one book on the go at a time ……… or why they all have to be lying next to my bed! Fortunately he is pretty long suffering ……
Here’s my update vlog

Tamsin – Isn’t it a great feeling when you work out how to do something new? Congrats on your WordPress manual upload.
And clutter? well I too have more than one book on the go. There is so much great info out to be consumed, and a different mood needs a different type of book. lol.
2013 is going to be our year! I look forward to your end of year roundup in 11 months time.
Hey Victoria!
Great minds think alike. For any of you reading this, Victoria and I “met” on Tiffany Dow’s blog and she came over to mine and now I’m here at hers.
I love the idea of Declutter. One of my old mottoes has been “the first step in changing your life is changing your room”. A little tongue in cheek but it helps me. Maybe it’s feng shui or something.
Now if I could just figure out how to get a picture to show up on these blog comments.
Cheers!
Buddy

Hey Buddy! I like your little saying. Clutter is the bane of one’s existence and we all need help with it. lol.
To add your photo – got gravatar.com, upload your image and use the same email that you use on your website, then you image should show up.
Thanks for stopping by
Thanks V!

Hi Victoria!
I must say, watching you is like sitting down and watching a video of an old friend. Your presence is so peaceful and inspiring. You’re a natural in front of the camera. Congrats on all that you got done. It really is something to be proud of.
I too am haunted by the fear monster, but I continue to try and stay positive and tell myself that I can do anything I set my mind to. And you’re right, you’ll never know if you don’t try. Keep up the great work!

Cynthia – I feel that the more we sit in front of the camera, the easier it should get. Let’s hope so eh?
Victoria!
You’re so calm in front of the camera now (compared to how you were when we first started the challenge).
Grats on getting your PLR done! Doing it afraid, like Tiff says. It gets done, doesn’t it?
I am SO PROUD of you!

Sent you an email about your theme, Victoria.
