I started Trainstorm, I brought it to the point where I earn money and can continue on the long term, now I need to really manage it and make this one woman company ready for growth and prosperity! I must admit I really enjoy this phase of the process because it is a combination of seeding, working, earning/harvesting and dreaming! They all are fun and rewarding, so I have no complaints what so ever about my choice to become self employed and to build Trainstorm! Love it! Phase 2 was a bit of a struggle but I think I got through that, so onward and forward!

How I did it: I started Trainstorm in the spring of 2006, worked on it while having an almost fulltime job in 2006 and 2007 and then took the plunge to go freelance and fulltime at the end of 2007. The decision to quit my job and go fully for it was not easy but looking back at it now I am glad I did it bacause I never could have succeeded without the so necessary time and commitment. Establishing Trainstorm is the best and most fulfilli… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I normally use the TV as a background noise so I watch it way to much.Now the cable company disconnected me for a week, which forced me to find other things to do than watching. At first I really was lost, but from day 2 I was looking for other things to do like working, seeing and calling friends, going to the cinema and reading. In the end I did not really miss it anymore. So the lesson learnt here is that I perfectly can function … Read how I did it…
How I did it: I made a graphic of every activity both locally and internationally I could do and then developed it further on its own but also as a part of the bigger picture. The result was a good overview of what to do and how to do it. Very useful! Read how I did it…

I am very grateful for the fact that the lump in my mama’s breast is an infection/hormone change like it has been before! Thank You!
but still I am struggling big time! I really need to make lists, mind sweep, wack my mailbox to 0 and empty my sky hight physcial inbox and preferably all of this in the next 24 hours! I know it is just not possible so I will just go for as much as I possibly can do and continue the rest on monday! Rome is not build in one day and my GTD system isn’t either! I really admire the people who can do this in one weekend! Masters of organisation or of a organised mind, or both! I am neither so it takes loads of time but I will get there! And if I do I will throw a party I must also admit that I really enjoy the process of organising, thinking and making baby steps that on their own already make a huge difference! So I am not giving up! I am going to make this work and then move on to that level!
