Thanks Brad. I'm in a good place just now and feeling motivated and creative. Would that it were always so! A big, and perhaps the biggest, part of my strategy is to think of this as work. So I need to clear the decks of distractions and plan my day. Till now I've been walking dogs, mowing the lawn, clearing the kitchen, going to the shop, taking a shower, all the things that should really be done outside of working hours. Okay, I know as a freelance all hours are working hours, but I figure if I at least do a 10 till 6 kind of working day and do the chores before and after, I'll be much more productive. Oh, and have a plan for when I sit down to start. That I'll tweak over time. Setting goals too. I'm starting with a goal of getting 10 private pupils a week in as short a time as I can achieve that.
