Journal Entry 2 - Sunday August 29, 2021

Dear Journal…

I really need to come up with a better opening for this than that. This is the second day I’m doing this so hopefully it gets a lot more interesting as I learn what I’m doing.

So… What was today? Today was a day that I realized that I am slacking in my life. I had plans this morning that got cancelled, but honestly they weren't even that prevalent to begin with. I spent most of the day working very half assed on some stuff I need to get done. The key words being half assed. I think I need to find a new place to go and work, there are WAY too many distractions at home. And why shouldn’t there be?! I spent the better part of an entire year in this house. How ridiculous is that?! It’s been my studio, gym, office, home, and so much more. My focus is entirely shifted.

The rest of the day I went and watched the Jake Paul fight. This is honestly the first fight I think I’ve ever watched and gosh darn was it INTRIGUING!! Jake Paul is literally a marketing genius. Watching him grow has been absolutely insane and I love what he’s done in building himself a lifestyle most people want to live. I FULLY intend to do the same.

I have SO MUCH I want to do and create and be and I have been FAILING at doing those things. Most people don't have a clue in the slightest what all I do. So in the last 2 weeks, I began a marketing agency (smart move Alanna) and then decided I really wanted to build up an e-commerce store I started exactly a year ago but never really focussed on getting going. SO I suppose now it will just have to be a client of my marketing agency. The list I have to do on any given day Is absolute insanity. I don’t know what I’m thinking. On top of these 2 things, I actually also have a third company that is what currently pays the bills (but barely). Life has been stressful lately honestly. I got too comfortable and now I’m just not sure where I stand with that. What a pain.

Honestly, all I need to do is get this management company hired on for one bit, and that should make a HUGE difference in my life as a whole. Then I need to bite the bullet and hire on some photo/video teams to get some stuff done for my e-commerce store. Last I just need to get this infrastructure put together for my marketing agency so I don’t need to stress anymore.

After I get all these things done I can start focussing on the other things I was to build up (YES. THERE IS MORE.) What is my brain?!?!

ANYWAYS, Because I have slacked so hard at getting things done I am going to write myself a list for tomorrow. (I need to get my ass to a coffee shop for sure)

TO DO LIST:

  • GET YOUR GOSH DARN BUTT TO SPIN CLASS

  • Finish the 2 partnership packages I’ve been meaning to do

  • Create a PayPal for my new business

  • Re-write the contract for the management company I’m bringing on

  • Film 2 try on hauls

  • Finish editing the photos for my styling video

  • Get the new website I need built, started

  • Edit the girls night out video

  • Edit together the series of transition tiktoks from Girls Night Out

  • Complete Coaching Website

I think I need to focus on the things that are the easiest to do just to get them off my plate at this point. This isn’t even half of what I currently need to do. Gosh Darn. Okay I believe in myself I can get all this done. I think in between these Journal entries I’m still going to write some other blogs more specific to certain ideas. I think that’s something I would really enjoy writing. So if you have made it this far, stay tuned for those! And thanks for reading, I hope you had a WONDERFUL day! <3

XOXO
