OK it is already the 8th of April and in some ways I am a little behind on making a big goal for the month. But I reason it is never too late to make a goal for the month. I love goals. I like to know what I am working toward. So let's review:
The long term goal is to make $5000/month.
the short term goal is to make $2000/month by next fall.
Last month my total ended up being around $300 in Stella & Dot profit. Which, considering I worked about 7 hours to earn it and my current outside job would take me about 25 hours, I think is pretty darn successful.
So building on that success, this month my goal is to have 6 Stella and Dot Shows which based on last month's average means I will make about $900. I have a minimum goal of 3 shows at which level I will win a prize from the company. Turns out I am motivated by prizes. Especially prizes that are so easy to earn. I currently have 1 show booked and 4 people who have said they want to have shows I just need to get on the calendar.
I also have begun work on my writing assignment. I have decided to give a very good deal to the company I am working with as I have no actual experience and am looking forward simply to having something to put on my resume. Also, they are a smaller company that can't pay a ton but I am hoping will be a good referral/reference for future business. So I am thinking $2-300 if I can finish it by the end of the month.
That would bring this months total to a possible $1200!
On the one hand this feels very doable. I can totally make this happen. Plenty of time. I just need to make a plan and do it. One of the goal ideas this month is to get 100 "nos". I would need about 5 per day to get that this month. Thinking about using that to achieve my goal. How hard is that?
On the other hand I feel compelled to begin making excuses for why I can't possibly do this to prepare you for my likely failure of this goal. I am afraid of what I might have to do to reach that goal. And it just seems so amazing that I could achieve that goal so it must be impossible. So therefore I really should just be happy if I manage the 3 shows and $500.
But that is a long way from $5000 and if I am going to make that happen I have to believe in myself and my process. And I have to just go for it. So at the end of this month I will be reporting a $1200 personal income for my business. Can't wait!
