Alcohol played no part in my weekend nor was it craved or missed. After 4 months of not drinking I do not crave or even really give alcohol a second thought come the weekend, this obviously was vastly different 6 months ago. But that alone is an amazing feeling and allows me a lot more free time on the weekends.
The main reason for this post is to update where I am with my goals. My last post I explained how I was going to be saving part of the money saved and committing part of the time saved to my future entrepreneurial goals.
What I didn't share was I had already started some small steps, a few months ago I registered the domain name http://www.thealcoholicentrepreneur.com/ and roughly a month ago I begin sourcing a web developer to get a basic site made, so I have a home base I guess you could call it for my future goals blogs & any other crazy idea's that may pop in my very sober very clear mind!
So the website has been built albeit a working in progress and being hosted by Bluehost and running live as I type and you read.. there is plenty of work to do but the foundation is down and I am happy with what I have in such little time. I will be doing a full blog of the steps I went through to get the site to where it is in a the very near future.
But for now this post is about this weekend, So what did i achieve this weekend? Up to this point in time I have clocked 8 hours, 4 of those were spent on Friday night, where I was editing the website in small ways, I added a second banner on the front page, and tweaked the sign up form slightly, i am slowly converting all the post's I have written in blogger across so I also transferred one of the older post's, within a few weeks I should be caught up and be running in sync with blogger.
I also set up google analytics, this required me to set up a google analytics account, then link to the site via code which I needed to enter into the back end of the site.
the other 4 hours were put in on Saturday afternoon/Night, during this time, I was playing with social media, I had created a facebook page a few weeks ago, but not a twitter account, so my partner set up a twitter account and a email address so we have a contact point alcoholicentrepreneur@gmail.com for anyone who may be interested. While she was doing that I tweaked the logo to fit the facebook page. I also connected the social media links on the web page to both the twitter & facebook page. Once the twitter page had been completed, I went ahead and tweaked the logos to fit that.
That basically brings us up to the now, so here I am writing this blog, I am also flicking between facebook & twitter and following other pages/people that are related to what we are doing here and what I am trying to achieve, I am finding the time hard to monitor as I am having so much fun I get lost in doing it, it does not feel like work and the enjoyment and excitement just wrap me up, it really is an amazing feeling and I recommend anyone who is thinking about it to get in contact with me and start your own new journey!
Would love to hear some feedback and anyone wanting to keep up to date, on the website there is a sign up form where I will eventually be linking to the blog and have monthly updates etc.
