Goal Setting

Rather than make New year resolutions I always prefer to set goals a few times a year. I do this as I prefer to make goals several times a year rather than just in january and if you read my earlier post you know that most resolutions made in the new year usually fail.

So what goals will i set for the first quarter of 2008?

Professional Goals

1. Make money online

I make a bit of money offline with my property investments, it would be nice to make some money online. Even though my proffession is actually IT I’ve yet to make any money directly from the web. I’ve started to run google ads on this site and will be looking into other money making ways for this site. I’ll report as much as I can on this blog.

2. Build an extension

I’ve bought many a homes, had a few done up and refurbished, but never extended any of them. My next major project is to extend my own home. Well the new house that I have purchased for me and the misses. I’ll report more on this blog when the plans have been approved by the council.

3. Learn some bookkeeping

Whilst I now run 2 companies I’m finding it really difficult to keep track of all the expenses and profits with the old spreadsheets that used to work when I owned 2 houses and had 2 tenants. I need to either learn some good book keeping practices, find some good software or employ somebody to help me.

Personal Goals

1. Get married

With my wedding in April I can’t really get this wrong. I would like to help my fiance to organise this though as she is doing most of it on her own at the moment. awwwww :P

2. Do classess at the gym

My fitness has taken a bit of a battering lately. to help me improve my CV I think it would be beneficial to join some of the clasess at my gym. Boxercise and circuits yes, bums and tums no.

“Whilst I now run 2 companies..”

What are the two companies that you run may I ask? I know one is buying and selling properties.
