Reached my First Goal

Published on February 2, 2016

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

One of the first things that we do as part of the training when we join is set some financial goals. If I recall correctly, the training asks us to identify goal that we would be happy with, and one that we would be ecstatic with.

I still have the sticky note hovering over my wall. It says:

1) $100/month
2) $100/day

I joined in January 2015 and in November 2015 I broke the $100/month mark. I was cautious not to call it yet, as I thought it might have just been an anomalous month. But sure enough, I made just over $100 in December, and just over $150 in January 2016. So I'm calling it now. I've reached my first goal!

I have to admit, I didn't really know what to expect from this when I started. I was determined, but at the same time, I have always been very realistic with myself. I never made any money online in my life before this, so I didn't have a whole lot of reason to believe it would work.

But knowing what I know now, I am confident it's just a matter of time before I reach my goal 2nd goal of $100/day.

And now that I have attained by first goal, I have set a 3rd goal. It is to surpass how much I am currently making at my full time job.

I don't know how many of you are doing this full time vs part time while still holding down a job, but I would be curious to know.

My plan is keep my job until I reach goal #2, then quit and work towards goal #3.

If you're reading this, I appreciate your interest.

Cheers,

Jason
