First Month Blogging Goals huh? I’m all about goal planning. How else can you achieve more if you don’t make a goal?
Did you know that less than 10% of bloggers make any money at all and almost 90% of bloggers quit blogging within 6 months?? Now is the time to remember that I mentioned how doggedly determined I am to succeed at things in another post or at least that’s what I had to remind myself of when I read that statistics! Yikes!

My ultimate reason for starting this blog is because I miss my kids because I miss so much of their lives working outside of the home every day and I desperately want to be a part of it all again.
The goal is to be able to provide for my family off of this blog one day, which means replacing as much as I can of almost $90,000 in income and benefits that I bring in annually.
The realistic goal is to be able to bring home ¾ of that income within five years.
Join me on this crazy journey eh? It’ll be fun to watch me crash and burn if nothing else, but it’ll be more amazing if I crash and burn a few times and then I succeed and share tips for you how can do it too!
