Week 3 of Winning the Game of Money Complete!

I started the Winning the Game of Money program in order to increase my income and discover new revenue sources for myself.  It is a 12 week program.  Some people realize more money and income faster than I have.  This is the end of week three.  I will be honest, my overall attitude and resolve has increased, however, that has not resulted in money.  Yesterday, I received my first inquiry from Rover.com for a  pet sitting overnight.  While this isn't a ton of money, and I haven't actually booked the overnight yet, I'm going to count it as a "win."

One of the things that has been difficult for me with this program is getting into the habit of scheduling my days.  For someone who has suffered with epilepsy, unexpected seizures have forced me to become a flexible person.  I tend to associate an open schedule with flexibility and planning to accomplish a lot of things and have a full social life just seems overwhelming.  The good thing is that I'm working on changing that attitude.  Not only have I started working a second job, I have applied for some weekend sales positions.  While they haven't been a good fit, I'm certain that I'll find a great way to earn money this summer.

During this program, I have started talking to more and more people.  I have chipped away at my fear of rejection through my Zero Down Solar telemarketing gig.  Although, I will admit that I have gotten frustrated with phone calling after about an hour.  This may be in part due to the fact that I'm exhausted from substitute teaching all day.

My gratitude exercise for today!  I love that I'm writing this blog for ninety days because it reminds me each day to write something that I am grateful for.  It forces me to reflect on the skills and knowledge that I am acquiring and slowly but surely it is increasing my self-confidence and self-esteem.

1. I am grateful for a response in Rover.com!  I can't wait to meet their dog and see if the overnight will happen, but even if it doesn't, the response has lifted my spirits.
2. I am grateful that the summer is almost here and the kids will be out of school shortly!
3. I am grateful for the delicious foods that I am learning to make that are Autoimmune Paleo friendly.  (I made sweet potato fries the other day!)
