PERSONAL NOTE/ GOALS
LETS REFLECT , LAST MONTH WAS SOOOO CHALLENGING 🙂
Now, there are 3 major things I want to improve on this month. I have to keep it real-my finances, dating again (sigh), and building a business.
The Break up…
First, I broke up with my boyfriend after 6 months of being together. I honestly thought we were working on everything. However, I never thought I would have to deal with betrayal… again. The pain I felt was tremendous, and it still hurts. That is grief.
After bucket full of tears, journal, therapy, and talking with my love ones I started to feel better. It going take some but it is healing. There is no perfect way to heal and we all have to be patient with ourselves. In the month of May I am looking forward to healing, and DATING again. I am not going to let one bad situation stop me from believing in loving and finding love again.
More challenges.
Secondly, my finances are bad because I have been spending more then I’ve been taking in. Due to the break up I have been feeling lonely and depressed. Since then I have been leaning on my personal favorite therapy… retail. Now, I have to hold myself accountable, I have not always been the greatest with my finances. However, I plan to dig myself out of this hole.
Finance Goals
First I am going to start by tracking my finances for a month. Set a realistic shopping budget that will set me up for success. Lastly use the cash only method when shopping to avoid using my debit and credit card.
Business
Now remember early I mention starting my business. I want to get into this reseller business. I want to turn my hobby of thrifting into a business. So how am I going to do this?
I have been taking some business classes since my 9-to -5 job has been super slow. Be Your Boss class. The major key I took away that starting your own business you will have rely own your own personal credit. That is main reason why I need to improve. My next read is “Becoming Your Own Boss in 12 Months by Melinda Emerson. This book I am sure will point me in the right direction when it comes to starting my online resell shop.
Overall, May is going my month I actually start preparing myself. With the help of my goals I listed out I sure it will be attainable. What are your goals for the month of May?
IN THE MONTH OF MAY MY GOALS ARE…
1) Improve on my finances by sticking to a budget, tracking my daily finances, and shopping with cash only.
2) I am healing. Give myself time to pray in the and meditate in the morning and at night. In addition write down 1 thing I grateful out of each day
3) Stand up for myself even when I feel like I am small. I am allowed to speak up for myself
4) Work on time management by setting measurable and attainable goals for myself. I see that creating a to-do list has been helping stay focus on what I need and want to do for the day.
5) When I am feeling stress out at work, take a day off or use my coping skill technique I learn for anxious moments. I can improve on following through for myself. Take action and trust in my skillset
6) Commit to buying from 1-2 black owned business or donate to organization that benefits the Black community, or the underprivileged once a month.
7) Remember to be kind to myself, Giving myself grace. Say one thing you love about yourself everyday.
8) Get back into Youtube again! YOUTUBE Continuance. Produce 1 video each week to help grow my channel and influence.
