Jalál (Glory), 17 Jamál (Beauty) 174 Badi - Saturday, May 13, 2017 CE

"Whoso hath inhaled the sweet fragrance of the All-Merciful, and recognized the Source of this utterance, will welcome with his own eyes the shafts of the enemy, that he may establish the truth of the laws of God amongst men. Well is it with him that hath turned thereunto, and apprehended the meaning of His decisive decree."1

Bahá’u’lláh

Today my Credit score is TransUnion 602 and Equifax 609. I have one item from my credit report to check out, but I can't do that until Monday because the place that put it on the report is closed on the weekends. I received the Credit Carma report on Friday, but I didn't read it until today. I have to start reading that report when I receive it.

Notes from the morning blogger class

Key #1: Clear message - What is my world view? Every () can/should (). Do I have 5 friends? Email and ask them to describe me.
Key #2: Platform (audience) - The Journalist; The Prophet; The Artist; The Professor; The Star. For the next 30 days blog.
Key #3: Tribe - an e-mail list (this is my tribe); build an e-mail list. Give something exciting free. Send something about twice a week. clicktotweet.com. Give more then you take and serve my tribe by being helpful. create a website and find an e-mail service provider. goinswriter.com/launch-blog and covertkit.
Key #4: Product - Identify my expertise (What's obvious to me?); Ask my audience (How can I better help you? If I created something for sale, what would you buy? How much?); Give them what they want. Do I have an expertise worth sharing?
This key I added myself. Key #5: Act - I need a blog with 1,000 subscribers.

Analysis Paralysis is the over-thinking or over-analyzing of a situation or problem to the point that no action is taken to solve the problem. The solution to analysis paralysis is "set limits", "clarify objectives and priorities", "remind yourself that nothing is perfect", "take small, iterative steps", "change the number of options", "add or remove emotion", "talk about it", and "make the best decision possible".2
