September 2016 Report & Goals for October
Well after an awesome August, September was a bit sucky in blogland. Mostly because I got into a bit of a funk. Why? Who knows. Maybe I just hit a bit of a lull in motivation. Though I think it has something to do with all the free webinars I was watching and all the sales copy I was exposed to. Plus having to do my update and admit I missed practically all my goals... well it was a little disheartening.
But, on the other side of the coin (freelancing), it was a different story. I invested in a freelance writing course and scored a new recurring client at ~$800/month. Nice! But now I'm even busier. Lol. I'm also adjusting to the idea that I really won't have to go back to work now.
