Weekly Check-in HMMM.... 1/8/19

My goals are personal, mine. I really do not see anyone else helping me meet them. I also do not see anyone helping me by holding me accountable. Here is my plan to do it... Checking in... writing what I accomplished this week, every week. So here goes...
This past week has been extremely slow going.  I have applied for several job opportunities and interviewed for two. I continued to apply for additional jobs throughout the week. My Mary Kay sales have plummeted since moving across country. I have very little support being out here and it will take the rest of the year to create the relationships that I once had in Arizona.
I finished my vision board and I am loving it.


I am getting up and showing up to life everyday! I am working on my yearly goals! Showing up daily is the first one. I have 357 more days to go this year.
I have accomplished showing up, searching for alternative income to pay down debt, spending more time with my husband and never giving up for a week. Four out of 10 goals thus far. Most of my goals are focused around financial improvement so until the job/ sell something goal gets met I am probably going to be slow going here. Oh well, progress not perfection. See you next week.

Life as it is....

Now that the new year has come upon us we always take the time or intend to take the time to reflect on the previous year, but reflection without action is just reminiscing. So here is my reflection and action plan.

2018 - We have had some really good and bad times this past year. Looking back we have had some much better than bad times. In the early year we finalized plans to move to North Carolina, worked with Jacob on improving his life skills, and celebrated the first birthday of my grandson.

There has been days of great joy, with simple gratefulness for each and everyday I wake up and the friends and family I have. We as humans tend to focus on the negative and not the positive. I know there was a lot of positivity in my last year but with all the negative that was experienced, I do believe that I have hit rock bottom. 

Does that mean I give up...........

Man you don't know me. Every time I hit rock bottom I am just a seed being planted or an empty cup in need of a refill. I do it all and NOTHING is going to hold me down for long. 

In order to understand the goals of the future you must understand the events of the past.  My son is autistic, we mad a mess of our finances and for the first time in a LONG time we charged our Christmas No, I am not proud of that but for that same reason that my goals for next year have been set. 

Goals are great, everyone needs a plan of action. The reason behind your goals, the why? is what keeps you going on these goals. 

In deciding what I wanted to do this year I went ahead and yes, spent more money..... I purchased a goal setting system from cultivatewhatmatters.com. It's a great system that breaks down who you are and what you want and even worse why? That why again! 

For this budgeting end I am using the app youneedabudget.com. I love this program and I hate this program. It makes us justify every dollar we spend and shows you exactly when you meet your goals, but it wants us to pay our credit card bills off? Go figure. You know how you charge something and then forget about it and just pay the minimum balance due, digging further and further in debt. This app doesn't allow you to do such dastardly actions. 

So to review my goals

1. Self Care

2. Financial Freedom 

3. Savings for Emergency Plans

4.Making my business a success

5. Having a healthier, happier family!
