Well, I had wanted to tear up the "set up" yesterday--meaning get a lot done fast. I was excited.
But I had to wait 24 hours regarding my domain. Fine. I'm patient.
So TODAY I wanted to "tear it up" because I couldn't yesterday, but I'm not really much farther than I was yesterday. The email setup I was doing did not work the way the tutorial promised. Not the tutorial's fault, I'm sure, ha ha. Anyway, I am hoping it is only something time will resolve--maybe another 24 hours is needed. So we'll see what happens tomorrow.
But bigger glitch is that the dashboard I was working with on the SFM site in order to do the setup all of a sudden was giving me an Access Denied page. Now, I do know that SFM and the site is doing some transitioning, and indeed, I saw some new menu configurations. But so frustrating. I don't know if it is an error on their part that time will resolve, OR if they've changed the program so much that I need to have something else going on before getting Access even though I HAD access yesterday and this morning and even started work and setup that I cannot now access! Grrr, ha ha. Really I am a patient person. I am only saying all this because it's you and I want you to realize the minor and major bits of this whole process. Problems like this don't really phaze me though, BECAUSE I know where I'm going. I'll go one way or the other. I'll get through, because the target is set. So the problems are just stuff to deal with and have patience.
Anyway, SFM's customer service is great (although sometimes I do have to wait a day because it is in UK so they will answer me while I sleep), so I wrote to them about the Access Denied thing and we'll see what they say.
Had a live call with SFM members and one of the founders. Also another PJ Hulle Listapalooza call. Going forward here I may not mention every training I do, SFM or otherwise, especially if they are repeats, because I listen to a lot of stuff all day long in between doing my other things of the day. I really need not the information as much as I need the energetic injection of people going places and have been where I am--to hear that it's possible for me too. Keeps my mindset and good spirits up, plus learning a few tips here and there I hope to apply when appropriate.
Which is another note to make--you can't apply everything all at once. One thing I am getting a lot better at is knowing what I really need right now, information-wise. There's a lot of good stuff out there, but don't have time for it all in 300 years. So I say no to a lot of stuff too--I really try to feel my gut and/or keep what is relevant to what I'm working on. The other stuff will come round again when I need it. It will.
