I just had a huge revelation last night while I was finishing up Cash Flow Quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki. He talks about taking baby steps to financial freedom and to avoid making that “one great leap” so many people try to do when they reach for goals such as losing weight. For the first week or so things are great and you’re hitting the gym an hour a day and eating less calories per day than your pet bird, but at the end of that week you’re exhausted and just go back to your old habits. Instead of an hour a day at the gym, Kiyosaki says you should underachieve and go to the gym for just 20 minutes a day or something similar where you feel like you could stay for much longer. I, myself, have been experiencing a little bit of entrepreneur-burnout lately as you can probably tell by my limited posts and lack of comments. I didn’t have much of a break because I focused on making “the great leap” on not just one goal, but many others. I want to achieve a little more balance in my life and maybe even have a good time here and there. My sleeping pattern lately has been awful and my lack of planning leads to nonconstructive days. I’ve decided it’s time for me to take baby steps and underachieve in terms of my goals. Small victories kick ass after all. In terms of this blog, I’m going to update it once a week on Sundays for two weeks. After that, I’ll bump it up to two. I know I’m making it sound like keeping this blog updated is a ton of work when it really isn’t, but I need to achieve some sort of balance in my life. I’ll be updating if anything big happens, however. Some baby steps I want to take:

• Talk to one new person a day.
• Go to the gym three times a week for 20 minutes a day.
• Blog once a week.
• Do one small thing to promote Walamu each day.
• Go to sleep by midnight and wake up by 9am two nights a week.
