As we can see below, July did not go exactly as planned, but I still feel like several goals were reached, so that’s some pretty amazing progress!
Business was slow, so some of the goals that needed more money than others had to be put on the backburner. Some things, I honestly just lost motivation on. I intend to work harder in the month of August to achieve all of these goals and more.
I will be advertising more online to be able to make more money (hopefully) and put cash into savings. After that money is in savings, I will start purchasing mulch to go around the house with, then blinds for the house, then furniture for my porch, and paying for a year upfront of my Shopify store. It will be difficult, but I believe that it is more than possible.
I am currently working on my daily routine, where I will incorporate time for painting and drawing, as well as posting a new shirt design each day. I know that doing these things will draw more attention to my website and business page, therefore bringing in more income, but sometimes it’s hard to keep my eye on the ball and I get discouraged.
This month, I am making more concise fitness goals for myself. I have got to get a handle on my weight, and I also know that it is much better for my mental health when I am trying harder physically. And lets face it— I need as much going for my mental health as possible these days. My depression and anxiety seem to take hold of me at the worst possible times.
I want to be able to separate my chickens by breeds (the two main ones that I have are French Black Copper Marans and Silver Laced Wyandottes) so I need to go ahead with my plans to expand the coop as soon as possible. I will definitely be posting more about this project as the month goes on, because I am extremely excited about it!
I will keep you all updated on the progress of these goals as the month goes on!
Until next time,
Alicia
