You have to do, what you have to do, to get by

You have to do, what you have to do, to get by.


There are some days I don't even know how I have the energy to get through the day. 

If you read my blog, you know that I am a single mom of 2 girls. I barely got any child support when I did get it and so I had to work a lot to make ends meet.


But I am, nor have I ever been afraid of work, I learned my work ethic from my parents, especially my mother who worked the night shift at a dinner for 18 years, serving mostly drunks night after night.


I learned you don't sit back and expect to get things handed to you, you have to work and work hard for them.

I can remember any free time my parents had, they would work on our broken down farm house we had.

After working all night, she would come home to change her clothes and help my dad work on the house.


I remember thinking how does she do it? But I know now, it's because you need to do what you need to do to get by, you don't think about it, you just do it. She was my role model and my hero and so I tried to become like her.


I learned that you have to keep reinventing yourself to try to make money. I wake up every morning at 

5 am, I am at the gym by 5:30. 

I write my blog on the treadmill, then I edit it and post it on four sites. I then do some social media and finish it off by doing some weight training,all before 8 am. 


I then do professional organizing, I added personal assistant to the mix,  because how many times a year does a person's house needs to be organized? Not many, so this gave me another form of income.

Then I decided to help people with their electronics to try to make even more money. I also added website building and social media in to keep the cash flowing, anything to make a buck. And by the way, I am self taught at all of these things.


I do hair at night and I whenever I can, I do focus groups or secret shopping to try to make extra cash. Before the night is over, I will post my blog on 5 other sites and do some more social media for my blog and to try to promote my book and business.


There is nothing I wouldn't do to put food on my table for my girls. I am not too "proud" to do a job to keep a roof over our heads, even if that includes working 16 hour days, so be it. If I had to, I would scrub toilets and be proud to do so to support my family.


I worked this same way while I was married for my ex but then it was for free.I did so alll while feeling like I was in prison, so this is a piece of cake. I get to come home to a peaceful home, filled with love and laughter, are you kidding me? This is easy! I am truly free and happy now!


Don't say you can't do it, that you don't have time, you can make time for all other kinds of things. Stop watching TV, like I did, and that will free up 4 to 5 hours a night. Stop mindless scrolling on your social media, get up early, there are so many ways to make it happen if you truly want to.

I am constantly thinking of what I can do next. One day (soon) I would like to be able to do one job, just write and speak and I will get there but until then I will do what I have to do.


So today my friends, remember there is nothing you can't do if you put your mind to it...you can do it. Yes,I know sometimes it might feel impossible, that it's too hard, that you feel like you can't make it but remember what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. And I know that I am definitely Wonder woman at this point.


But seriously, if I can do this, you definitely can do this, just don't give up and remember to believe.

Envision it, put it out there, see it as if it has already come to pass.

If it gets too much, if it's too overwhelming, then just take it one day at a time, just do that but don't give up. Keep your eye on the prize, no matter how far away it may seem, no matter how far fetched it may be, no matter how big the dream you have is, you can get there...you will get there... if you just believe....and you do what you have to do.
