August Update

August was a busy month, not only for progress within this project but in my Life in general, it seems the longer I go with being sober the more responsibilities and jobs I take on. This is not a bad thing, but I have to learn to manage my time better and schedule time for different parts of my life.

I feel like when I do sit down and give this project time I am all over the place, I don't have it structured to any format, I just sit down and plod away and I hope I am making progress in the right direction, whether that be writing a blog post, updating social media, or working on the book, i do feel however that this is at a detriment to my progress, a goal that I have for July is to focus on 1 or 2 things a night and spend time to structure my months weeks and eventually days.

The month of august I focussed on social media, I have set up links between facebook and twitter both ways, so whichever platform I post on the post shows up on the other, I have set up an Instagram account, which I have been aiming to do at least 1 or 2 post's per day, so far that has not been happening unfortunately but I will work on integrating Instagram with facebook etc. I also started using Periscope a new platform from twitter, where you can capture a live feed which will then stay on the periscope servers for 24hours I am pretty new to it but have been enjoying giving it a go, I think I have posted 12 or so videos so far, sign up and follow me @alco_preneur. Some Goals I want to set for social media are to set up a youtube account and start posting video's showing and talking about how sobriety and the entrepreneurially mindset can be achieved.

I also focussed on a few small changes to the website, I have added a calculator which can calculate how much money you can save per year when not drinking, I also started a couple more pages on my site, to document Movies, Documentaries & Books which all revolve around Alcohol, alcoholics & recovery, my aim is to keep growing this area of the website and eventually have a vast catalog of educational media which people can use as a quick reference guide to help there recovery, once this catalog has grown I will be then looking at including documentaries and movies that cover the entrepreneurially way of life.

My blog post's have not be as frequent this month, and that is something I would like to rectify, along with what I wrote above about structuring my time, I would like to make an effort o right at least including my monthly update 4 blogs per month, almost one per week. I don't feel to about it as I have spent a fair bit of time working on a book which I am aiming to get out in the next 6 month. 

The progress I have made this month I am proud of and I am happy with the way things are going, however like I have pointed out in this post, I really need to spend some time making myself a road map structure map, so I can be more focused on what I am doing and where I am heading.

I would love to hear from you and your progress hit me up on social media or drop me an email at alcoholicentrepreneur@gmail.com
