Out there in the wide world of Google, there is a man who is spoken about with reverence, who is followed and worshiped by thousands who works miracles with even the most unlikely of people. He is responsible for launching many successful internet business start ups and who I am proud to call my online internet marketing mentor, a drumroll please for Mr Alex Jeffreys.
Don’t worry, this article isn’t going to be one of those starry eyed ones but I do believe giving credit where credit is due.
I titled this piece of writing “spending the night shift with Alex Jeffreys”. Let’s face it, it is a lot less controversial than “spending the night with Alex Jeffreys” but that is exactly what I do.
Now before you gasp, let me explain.
You see, I spend very tiring long days with 2 wild and wired kids who only shut down when I remove their batteries about 930 at night! I then spend a bit of quality time with my husband even if it’s just to show him I exist! He works just as hard and spends long hours at work just as I do.
I go to bed for a while and then get up to do the night shift with Alex Jeffreys!
So far my live training begins at 11pm with Alex every Monday night and believe me it is intense. I normally call it a night around 2pm but the party is still in full swing when I sign off. I work other nights also but I do take 2 nights off in the week which I feel is important.
I do limit my time spend at work during the night as I find it hard to unwind again afterwards as my mind is buzzing with activities to be done, implementing what I have learned etc.
I thought ignorance was bliss but the realisation of how little I really know is depressing. I know this is all part of the “process” of going from unconscious incompetence (where you basically don’t have a clue but are ignorant of this fact) to conscious incompetence (when you realise that yes you know very little) and then from conscious competence (hey I’m getting the hang of this) to unconscious competence (automatically know what to do and do it well).
What a mouthful, but these are the stages of the learning process and I am at the conscious incompetence stage moving slowly towards the conscious competent stage. Progress at last!
