One Down, A Few More To Go
Some say “Begin with the end in mind” and I’d tend to agree. I took a couple of contracts for a freelancing position last week. My sole purpose was to generate some momentum, create some cash flow, and remember what I’ve accomplished in my past. My first week in that capacity is completed and I’ve got a few more to go.
I saw a few and not a specific number, because I haven’t put pen to paper on exactly how many weeks I’ll need to function in this capacity. Once I have that tallied I’ll be able to be more specific, but for now, I know exactly what the end game is. Heck, I’ll even share it with you. My purpose is to be debt free.
I don’t carry a lot of debt by American standards and for several years I’ve been living debt free. Things with work and business slowed up and I’ve become indebted once again. It’s uncomfortable, but necessary at this point, so I’m doing what’s needed to better my situation by eliminating that debt. Twelve months of prudent reserve, debt free, and three months of operating capital are what I need before I can afford to walk away from freelancing. It won’t take long. If you’re unclear on what you need, there are tons of resources available on the internet through a simple search.
Today, Monday, November 7, 2022, I am grateful that:
I was able to find some new food to cook. Mac and cheese was a staple years ago and I remember it with fondness. It’s not entirely healthy and I will soon eliminate it from my life, but it was good to find, cook, and eat some over the weekend.
I was able to onboard with another client. It’ll be interesting to see how accommodating they are moving forward. He’s quite helpful and willing to do most of the administrative tasks I abhor. That truly is a relief.
I was about to recharge my battery over the weekend. My sleeping schedule is changing and it was great to lounge and move about leisurely.
Are you working part time or full time currently?
To what end? Why are you doing what you’re doing?
If it’s to meet your living expenses and exist, what more do you want or demand from life?
How can you obtain those things?
Write them down now.
Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
