2012 and January Health and Goals

2012 Goals

  • Earn additional $6000 outside of my salary
    The wife and I are doing our best to get out of debt (Following Dave Ramsey’s baby-steps). An extra $6000 would go a long way to help with that.
  • Earn $1000 from a niche site
    Same principle from above, but I’d really like to get some “passive” income in the form of niche sites. 
  • Create a newsletter with 1000 readers
    This kind of ties in to the first two goals, but its a little bit of vanity, too. I’d really like to improve my copy technique, and a newsletter list is a good way to do that. 
  • Lose 100 pounds
    Obvious. As of January 1st I tipped the scale at 380 lbs. 100 lbs. is a big goal, but I’ve got high hopes for the keto diet I’ve put myself on.  
  • Read 12 books
    I hope one book a month is reasonable. I need to put more book lurnin’ into to my life.
  • Go fishing 10 times this summer
    I love fishing in Montana. I need to make point of using my fishing license this year and get out into rivers and streams.

January 2012 Goals

  • Sell $100 on eBay
    As a means of supplementing my household income, I’m going to sell $100 worth of stuff on ebay. 
  • Finish reading Entreleadership
    I picked up Dave Ramsey’s newest book when it came up, and I haven’t made an effort to finish it. I’m looking forward to finishing it up.
  • Finish reading Inheritance
    My wife got me into the Inheritance series. The author wrote the books in (is from?) Montana. I got this one on my ereader, and I’d like to be finished with the series. 
  • Read Quitter
    No, I’m not quitting my job. Jon Acuff’s book is about starting a business on the side, while you’re working a day job (the end goal of the book is to quit your job and run your own business, but I like my job).
  • Create 2 St. Joseph newsletters
    I’ve gotten involved in my Church community and I built them a website. I’d like to help them grow their parishioner list, and I think an e-newsletter would be really helpful.
  • Lose 10 lbs
    I’m hoping that on keto, I’ll get some decent results as I shed water weight/
  • Walk 30 minutes 12 times
    I watched the following video. The gist is that waling 30 minutes a day will dramatically improve your health. With the diet, I’m hoping that at the least, I’ll be healthier, if I don’t lose a few pounds too.
