Last Friday I posted about my new goals to ramp up my income and shared I was planning to look at a lake house rental that would give me a home away from home for the fall, winter and spring.
I’m thrilled to come back and report that I went for it!
I paid a deposit and signed a lease for this great three bedroom house on Otsego Lake. It’s way cute and sits right on the east shore where it will enjoy all the afternoon sunshine.
The lake house will add significant financial pressure on my monthly budget – so now is where I get ‘Hungry’!
I’m Not The Only Hungry One
On Monday mornings I meet with Mom Masterminds members and other internet marketing women (our meeting is open to the public) for a regular ‘Breakthrough’ session. This week I declared the theme to be ‘Double the Trouble’ and we talked about wanting to double our incomes.
In Friday’s post I said:
“I know I can make everything I want happen if I want it bad enough. With the right projects and focused attention, anything really is possible.”
After a season of bring pretty laid back about things, I’m working up a sense of urgency and tackling all of my projects with renewed passion. I’m determined to make every dollar I can, ensuring that I’ll get to enjoy the lake house as much as possible.
In the breakthrough session it became clear that I’m not alone in dreaming bigger dreams and feeling increased levels of pressure about earning a more substantial income. Again and again, participating members voiced their agreement and excitement about reaching for higher levels.
Our new goals make us remember what it felt like to be new and hungry for success, sparking the idea to claim the title: ‘The Hungry Women of Internet Marketing‘. We’re going to be holding each other accountable to our new goals and taking regular action on them over on the Mom Masterminds forum of course.
Several of us have joined Jimmy’s Affiliatenaire course to ramp up our efforts in affiliate marketing and we’re starting up an MMer accountability group right after Labor Day. We’ll be meeting in my conference room one evening a week to talk over our lessons and brainstorm ways to apply the information. I’m so excited about that!
You Work Harder When You’re Hungry And When Someone Else Is Watching!
When Mom Masterminds launched back in 2004, we noticed right away that sharing goals and being held accountable for them helped many members to take more action. That and being able to mastermind with other smart marketers helps you take smarter action 
If you’re hungry like we’re hungry, I invite you to join us there!

Such a cute house! Way to go, Kelly. You rock, as usual.
The lake house is beautiful. I need to get a new vehicle as my 13 year old is starting to be quite uncomfortable in my sentra. That is my goal. I am going to write me a hungry woman post. I didn’t know you were in the sessions. How great!
The Lake house is awesome. Good luck in doubling your income.. I wish for the same thing too

Fantastic, Kelly! – looks wonderful and relaxing – what an inspiring goal, and can’t wait to see your success. I am joining you in seeking higher goals in my internet marketing business.

Excellent post Kelly and so true. I spent most of the summer traveling and relaxing with family and knew it was time to get back in the swing of things.
My husband mentioned wanting to build a small deck for the back yard but was worried about the cost of it. That was just the motivation I needed to buckle down and get to work. The awesome thing is I ended up making more than triple the amount needed to pay for the deck in about 2 days of focused work (leveraging my list and a previously created product).
In short, this really works.
Wow wow wow!! That is such an awesome place. I know you’ll enjoy it so much.
