I'm not even living Pay Check to Pay Check

I know right? You are thinking what could this be about? Well, some people are still trying to come out of the slump of this recession. It was a real reality to a lot of us SISTERS that we were moving forward in our lives, trying to build businesses and then really looking at life like. whoa, what's happening here?

The reality is we are still working a 9-5, we are still working 5-12 building our businesses, we are still running a household 24/7 and then trying to have me time.

WHAT? Where do we sleep? When do we sleep?

Then on the "pay day" we aren't even making ends meet. That is not good. Not good at all. I mean we work HARD. Then to have an article say that we aren't living on top of our integrity? I mean WOW. (oops wait let me go back; went off on a tangent)

So the story line is this: WE ARE NOT MAKING ENDS MEET. If we cant live pay check to pay check in order to keep money in the bank, what is the problem?

1. goals?
2. organization?
3. market?
4. business type?
5. support?
6. choices?
7. timing?

I personally want to say CHOICES. Our choices in life make or break us. Right now they are breaking us so bad that some of us may be looking for part time jobs for the holiday. Please not every one raise your hands at once.

The other part of the reality is to look at why our choices are jacked up. (yes, I said jacked) What have WE done in the past few months that has us broke,busted and disgusted? Robbing Peter, Paul AND John?What is that reality? What is it?

I can't answer for you, only for me. The reality is my mind was set on leaving a legacy. That is still the goal if God calls me home tomorrow. Personal funds may be down to a minimum still making ends meet by a great stretch, but still. I don't think I would change my choices, I would change when I did them. Like maybe at the beginning of the year or middle of summer. Just a slight delay in whatever I invested in OR DIDN'T invest in.

Together we stand or divided we fall. I say let's stand, even if we have to hold each other up. Let's brainstorm together about changes that need to be made and move forward. We have a few more days left until 2011 (it will come fast) and we don't want to slack on anything.

We are going to make goal to get ourselves on track with all that WE need to succeed. Who is with me?
