Bad Goals Versus Good Goals for 2015 Working Writing Homeschooling Personal

Here are some bad goals for me to make for 2015:

1. Go from 157 pounds to 100 pounds.
2. Homeschool my kids so they are Harvard-ready by the age of 16.
3. Make one million dollars.
4. Travel the world.
5. Make sure all my friends think I am the bomb.com.

Here are some better goals for 2015:

1. Try to go to the gym to treadmill twice a week. Eat fewer sweets and cut back to two cups of coffee per day. Rest when I need it because when I am overly tired I tend to eat.
2. Homeschool my kids consistently every day while still going on outings and field trips and having fun with them.
3. Make $30,000 working solely from home with Younique, Jamberry, Scripted, BlogHer, regional parenting magazines, Amazon Kindle ebooks, blogging and whatever other small jobs come my way.
4. Go to Colorado with the family during the first part of the year and New England during the fall.
5. Make an effort to listen to my friends when they are talking to me. Be less selfish and focus on them more. Talk less and listen more. Be forgiving and less judgmental, yet honest. No small task!

Got goals? Id love to hear about them!

Your Financial Goals Needs and Wants

Ive been posting every month since May about my monthly income. You can check out Augusts here. I know yall love seeing how much I make and where, working only about 20 hours a week. There are writers who make double what I make in the time I work and there are writers who make half. We are all different.

As I get ready to post Septembers numbers, I wanted to take a moment to ask you about YOUR financial goals. Not your writing goals (like: I want to get published at XYZ magazine; I want to get out of the content mills, etc.), but your financial goals.

Are you writing to feed your kids? Are you writing to save for a Camaro? Are you writing to send your kids to do things they love, like for me its gymnastics classes. Also we are trying to remodel and need the money for that. My husbands income takes care of our necessities, but my income pays for extras, like the trip to SeaLife Aquarium and to Powell Gardens and for any mini vacations we might be able to take. And unexpecteds like lawn mowers breaking! And Christmas is just around the corner!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our trip to Powell Gardens last week in Kansas City

Do you want to make $100 per week for fun money? Or do you NEED to make $500/week to survive?

I hope some of my ideas help you to reach your goals. Theres plenty of work to go around! Id love to hear from you and support you!
