And one giant leap to the key to the rest of my life, which I hope is a long time considering I'm only 27. So, wow, 2018 was the good, the bad, and the ugly, or more like the good, the bad, the ugly, the uncertainty, and the good.

And the great....and the great.

So, what goals did I accomplish in 2018?

1) I started a blog.

2) I published two books.

3) I started two niche sites after stumbling upon WA three times within a calendar year.

And I found out how my passion can be translated into a career, so thank you, WA, Kyle, and Carson, you guys were huge helps.

In a time of uncertainty in early October, I stumbled upon WA and the rest is recent history. It's been one heck of a ride since I tested the waters with a Starter Membership.


Lessons Learned

After my training job went downhill in early May, I was left scrambling for income but something came across me: Don't rely on anyone else but yourself for income.

Why?

Because the income a company, any company, can give you, can be taken away at a moment's notice.

I don't think people realize the dangers of having a sole income stream; it can evaporate and in some cases it will evaporate.

The first lesson I learned was to start blogging immediately and build a readership.

Set the stage and start the foundation of something great, even if it takes time and energy for such a great event to occur, like any business we begin.

And so it has, which is why I continued to work a day job, but I left the training gig and took a warehouse one to pay my bills while starting something great.

We're going from the bad to the ugly to the uncertainty back to the good and ultimately to the great.

And that's where we're at now.

Where I am now.


Goals Reached

As noted above, I reached some goals but there are so many goals that are still in progress that I'm setting right here for 2019.

It's important to have a list of goals not just for the year, but each month, each week, each day.

We need something to work toward, something to better ourselves, a reason for waking up each morning and attacking the day.

And I implemented that in 2018, but again, there are many in progress.

For instance...

Was 2018 a good year from a financial standpoint?

Of course not!

Not even close.

But again, the stage and foundation was set.

Something great is still being set and while there are ways to go, there is something to work for.


My Goals

So, what am I setting myself for in 2019?

Basics, really, leading to something awesome.

1) Create content for my niche blogs.

2) Increase my sales. I have had eight so far. Modest number, but nothing close to where I'll need to be. I'd love to see a few per month; that'd be nice.

3) Increase blog traffic. 100-200 views per week, with about 50-60 visitors per week. Not horrible, but definitely room for improvement. I'd love to see 1,000 views per week and about 250-300 visitors per week. I think I can get there by December 2019.

4) Build a few more niche sites. There are many things I'm passionate about, and my time so far at WA is simply scratching the surface. I can't wait to see what's in store for the future.
